Hey Atheists, if God isn't real, then what turned Lot's wife into a salt pillar?

Question

The only worrying answers are the people who find my question logical.

Answer 1

The best part of the story comes just afterwards. Lot and his family are apparently the only 'just' people in Soddam and Gemorrah. But, then after lot's wife gets turned into salt, Lot fornicates with his two daughters.

uh... what's the lesson here again?

Answer 2

What if I were to tell you that I had a dream about most of the things written about on http://exodus2006.com/2010.htm I am nothing near to a religious holy person. I consider myself to be a big fool in fact. Let's say this was all true which I whole heartedly do believe, you actually think the government would tell us anything. Math is a law that is so percise that man can send satilites to pluto and use jupiters gravitational force to send it onto a path to pluto. All done by mathimatics. Your gonna tell me that the worlds greatest minds don't know exactly were it's gonna hit. These dreams go eight years back the last one was like to years back. I just recently found that web page this mourning around 4 o'clock. These types of dreams a 10 year old could understand. I know there's more people out there with the same experience they just aren't making it public. I guess I'm one of the few crazy people out there that dosen't give a rats behinde about what other people think, so I can express myself freely.

Answer 3

The way forward for Lot's spouse, who seems back on the destruction and is grew to become right into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26), explains the beginning place of one of the organic pillars of salt that are on the coolest of Mount Sodom. it is likewise an occasion of the conventional taboo, modern in lots of cultures, on in retrospect. It happens, as an occasion, in the classic Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Answer 4

quick question based off your question. This Lot, he's from the Bible, then? Genesis? Did you specifically see his wife get turned into a pillar of salt?

My guess is no, you did not see this. You read about it. In a book written a couple thousand years ago, so there's no one to interview.

Not to knock Christianity, by all means. You believe in something, rock on. Or Atheists. Your life, your decision..I shall not try to convert you.

Answer 5

I'm not an atheist. I hold hallow All That Is.

The Dead Sea region (location of story) is known for its extreme salinity and salt pillars are a common occurrence, well known and documented for centuries.

Lot's story is symbolic. I read historical accounts and verify facts.

Answer 6

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Cor. 2:14

The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good. Ps. 14:1

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Rom. 1:20

Professing to be wise, they became fools. Rom. 1:22

Answer 7

Go some evidence to go with that pillar?

That whole story is just as suspect as any of the other myths, Lot is a righteous man, worthy of being saved, but he offers his daughters up to be gang banged, meanwhile his wife looks back at where she lived and she get turned to salt.

Answer 8

Hey Christian... if we are atheist's then we dont believe the fairy tales that are in the bible. So since it was just a story, much like The Illiad or King Lear or any other fiction book, then i assume you would have to ask the author of said story to tell you who he says turned Lot's wife into salt.

Answer 9

This tale is fantasy. Whoever wrote the tale decided she should become a pillar of salt. Maybe, the Hebrews needed salt much worse than they needed Lot's wife.

Answer 10

Prove that actually happened and you might have an interesting conversation. Hell! I'll introduce you to Jesus Christ myself, in the flesh.
-You know, they guy that was born of a virgin, traveled with 12 disciples, died on a cross and was resurrected from the dead three days later?
Hmmm, WAIT A MIN! That mythos was of Horus! Or a dozen other sons of god that existed before Christ.
