 Lot wasn't salt, so God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and some of his family. Salt prevents corruption and decay. I still believe America is the greatest nation on this earth, don't you? Our forefathers founded our nation on the Word of God, the Bible. Founded by men and women seeking freedom to worship God. The only nation that was ever founded on people seeking the Word of God, all others were people looking for gold and riches. But ours was founded on the Word of God.
