11. On Sodom and Gomorrah 

Williams and Rogan also discussed how certain sexual behaviors such as oral sex and homosexuality both qualify as deviant sexual behavior in biblical terms.

“What do you think the story of Sodom and Gomorrah is about?” asked Rogan.

Williams said it’s about “cleanliness” because that’s what “took them out … like [the] plague.”

“There's two speculations. One of them was that God decided that they weren't hospitable enough and the other one was God had decided that there was too much sin,” said Rogan.

“Wait a minute, that's not speculation, that's in the Book,” replied Williams.

“Right, that first one … but the respectability part that they were not hospitable enough?” asked Rogan.

“Yeah … that was a part of it, that's part of it, too,” said Williams.

“So they [say] this story is generally used to say that God doesn't like homosexuals. This is the story that highlights that,” Williams said.

“OK. So it's not just sin … because sodomy is even technically like oral sex,” Rogan noted.

“The meaning of that word comes from Sodom and Gomorrah,” Williams replied.
