What about pressure?
sure, thats kinda why the interior of the planet is molten. but pressure requires containment.
something indicated an earthquake killing S&G, lava not unheard of in earthquakes.

It's an interesting history and archeological discussions to be sure. The Jewish stories indicate different reason for the destruction.

Ancient stories are clues, but not always fact. Stories of Troy famously led to it being discovered although Homer’s version couldn’t be confirmed.
There are a couple of reasonable theories about the origins of the story of Atlantis; specifically an island nation blown apart by a volcano.
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/atlantis
Plato told the story Atlantis around 360 B.C. The founders of Atlantis, he said, were half god and half human. They created a utopian civilization and became a great naval power. Their home was made up of concentric islands separated by wide moats and linked by a canal that penetrated to the center. The lush islands contained gold, silver, and other precious metals and supported an abundance of rare, exotic wildlife. There was a great capital city on the central island.

Atlantis and Crete too. Gotta wonder if there is any truth to them.

My best guess is that, regardless of how greatly exaggerated, most great legends have a basis in fact.

What's sad is that we'll probably never know.

For us, yes, but for mankind, maybe. It would take time-traveling drones or space satellites to watch what happened.
Legends grow, rumors spread and stories grow greater with each retelling. The story of Sodom, Gomorrah and other ancient cities destroyed by nature were told around campfires for 300-500 years before Moses wrote them down.
https://www.earthmagazine.org/article/destruction-sodom-and-gomorrah-earthquakes-or-volcanoes/
In Syria, southwest of Damascus, large basaltic flows date to within a millennium of the presumed age of the biblical destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The flows originated from volcanoes along the Dead Sea transform fault system. Buried under one flow are two settlements with dwellings and numerous animal bones. Large gravesites near the lava are also consistent with a catastrophe. These findings and the paucity of archaeological evidence tying humans to the Dead Sea area at this time make a Syrian location for Sodom and Gomorrah more likely. Scholars, however, now think the story is an amalgamation of real places and occurrences rather than a single historical event.

That's hysterical...using religious mythology in a discussion about "trans" folk. Classic!
I give you much credit referring to Religion as Mythic!
Thanks!
The gospels were written by men and edited by leaders of the countries and the church elders. The version is whatever the powerful said it was at that time.

You have freedom of choice...but that freedom does not make one immune from criticism or whatever consequences result from that choice.

Does it matter? We have a First Amendment and: The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.
Equal protection of the laws matters.

and "normal" is not necessarily bad. Albert Einstein, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods aren't "normal" either.

Agreed. That's a given, but some poorly educated, stupid or insane people don't get it.

No, it is what it says.
Leviticus is for everyone (in one way or another).
In part, but the laws go well beyond being just health codes.
In part, but the NT goes well beyond that.
Yes, he did, actually. Have you ever read through Matthew? How about 2nd Timothy?
You should take your own advice.

This is what this thread is about.
This thread isn't about schools.
But 8+ is okay? Seems like an arbitrarily chosen number to me.
It's delusion and child grooming.

Luckily there's a new covenant in jesus christ.
jesus rejected theocracy explicitly. His kingdom is not of this world.
