    Which isn’t even a real thing by the way. Onan was smote because he refused to impregnate his dead brother’s wife, which he was obligated to do under levirate marriage tradition. More modern theologists said “well we don’t do that anymore so let’s pretend he got smote for jorkin’ it” and thus Onanism was completely bastardized.

      Sodomy too

      There’s no reason given for what sin(s) the people of the region of Sodom and Gomorrah practiced to offend God. A lot of people focus on the fact that the MEN of the city wanted to rape the MEN who were guests of Lot. This glosses over the fact that the men of the city wanted to RAPE the men who were guests of Lot.

      Sodomy is associated with non-reproductive sexual activity, when in fact it should be associated with male on male rape. So also completely bastardized
