In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, we tackle the burning question: Are we more evil as a society today than Sodom and Gomorrah? Scripture paints those cities as a cautionary tale of pride, abundance without justice, and rampant sexual immorality that brought fire from heaven. Looking around at modern culture—celebrated confusion, open rebellion against God’s design, and churches that treat the Bible like optional reading—it’s hard not to wonder if we’ve lapped them.
Then we pivot to the wildest crossover in recent news: WWE’s Kane (yes, the Big Red Machine, the demonic half-brother of the Undertaker) is now Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs in Tennessee. The former wrestler who once set people on fire in the ring is now warning that Flock AI license-plate cameras create a “warrantless mass surveillance system.” These motion-activated cameras don’t just snap plates—they use AI to catalog make, model, color, even bumper stickers, store it for weeks, and network it so your movements can be tracked. Jacobs is urging his commission to ban them until real state and federal privacy laws catch up. The guy who used to chokeslam people for a living is out here defending civil liberties better than half the politicians who never wore a mask. Who saw that plot twist coming?
Finally, we dig into the United Methodist Church’s Urban Abbey (a bookstore/coffeeshop “church” in Omaha) proudly selling “Queer Tarot Cards” right next to the Pride flag pins and LGBTQ+ primers. Created by queer and trans artists, the deck reimagines the Major and Minor Arcana with gender-fluid figures, queer history, and LGBTQ+ interpretations so you can get your occult fortune-telling with a rainbow twist. This is the same place that has hosted Drag Queen Story Hour and whose pastor once defended Jezebel and Ahab as a positive biblical marriage model while seeking to “heal the wounds created by conservative Christianity.” Nothing says traditional Wesleyan orthodoxy like mixing pagan divination with sexual revolution cosplay and calling it spiritual growth. If Sodom had a gift shop, this would be the inventory.
We unpack what Scripture actually says about all of it—sexual ethics, occult practices, the limits of government surveillance, and whether our culture has crossed the line that once brought judgment. Serious questions, zero sugarcoating, and just enough ironic humor to keep you from throwing your Bible across the room.
