TRUTH

Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced (ridiculous as the expression may seem) more true than the truth itself. - Irenaeus

Miracles and Sodom

Some people get the wild idea that Jesus only rebuked the religious Pharisees calling them names.  Toward the end of his ministry he proclaimed judgement on whole cities.

Then He began to reproach the cities in which most of 
His miracles were done, because they did not repent.
"Woe to you, Chorazin!  Woe to you Bethsaida! If the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes."
"And you Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you?  You shall descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day.  Nevertheless I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you." (Matt.11:20-24)

We live in a society so twisted that
 it has resorted to this in braille.
