    Sodom. From the story of Sodom & Gommorah, but I would choose the name based on a passage from Ezekiel.

    “This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.”

      Yep, in classical biblical literature it’s understood that the “sin of Sodom” was lack of social justice.

      It’s the Christian interpretation that made it primarily a sex thing.

      I grew up being taught that America was literally the “Whore of Babylon” from the Book of Revelation.

      And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. - Revelation 17:5

      It was specifically said to be a prophecy about the United States and once you understood that, the rest of the story just clicked into place! I want to vomit just thinking back to that bullshit.
