I was thinking about this today and was wondering what people in other towns thought about this event when it happened, surely some knew people from there or even had relatives/ friends that may have been there at the time. Im curious if people were in mourning over the destruction or if they recognized why it happened, who had done it, etc. Maybe some thought it was a natural disaster?
I assume if God did such a thing today, a large majority of people would be mourning the loss of life, and probably be outraged that God did such a thing in the first place, I have a feeling anyone that claimed to be followers of the God responsible for this, would be instantly demonized, they would be guilty of hate crimes and much more!
Would it even be a good thing in Gods eyes, for people to mourn the loss of life in this event, or would that be seen as blasphemous as God is the one who destroyed the cities?

Everything God does is good and righteous. He is perfect so everything He does is correct. And God will destroy again
1Corinthians 15:23
24Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power. 25For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is death

Jesus did say that His followers would be hated of all nations.
Matthew 24
[9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
[10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

What's interesting is that I see very little hatred of Christians from non-Christians. I see much more hate exhibited towards the "wrong kind of Christian" from other Christians.
Don't have to look much further than the 33,000+ different sects and sub-sects to see Christians do not play together nicely.

I don't know what they were thinking. But I do know that if I would have turned around and witnessed the death and destruction described, I probably would have spontaneously produced a pillar of an organic substance myself. Not salt though.
