By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.
Did Jesus agree with the mass slaughter of men, women, children and babies?

You need to stop holding our Lord to the standards of men.
It makes you seem desperate to present God as somehow subject to the judgement of men.

So beware.
Ezekiel 16:49
American Standard Version
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
King James 2000 Bible
Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom, pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
American King James Version
Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

If he wants me to worship him, then I take my right to judge him.
Take it or leave it, god!
But you, unlike Him, are not a total master of all of the facts.
So judge away like the New Testament predicts men will.
Romans 3:4 [Their bolding]
New American Standard Bible
May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, "THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED."
King James Bible
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

Then, so I will.
Of course you will.
We all will, and do.
However, God conducts what mankind usually calls "the last judgment".
You WILL judge.
Me too.
But we will not be the last to pronounce judgement.
God is a psychotic mass murderer. That's is only a good start. More to come if anyone asks.
And right now I judge you as a Richard Dawkins wannabe.

Unrepentant sinners, is what you meant to say, no doubt.

Originally posted by @sonshipAre you suggesting that the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah were Republicans (in terms of their political mindset) and that is why god judged and destroyed them?

I let god judge me if I want to.
First I have to recognize him. I don't.
Of the exact the same reason I don't recognize Odin, Kahli, Zeus, Santa, tooth fairy, nor Trump as a deity. Anyone can show himself/herself to me as a god. Noone does. End of story.

Oh and you did not answer the question, was Jesus part of it?

I do not understand why you presume to judge God by the standards of man.

When I state what the Bible says you call me a racist, a bigot and all sorts of negative human terms.
