That fact alone proves that we are a superior
Christ was not yet born in the days of Abraham and Sodom is a hospitality myth.
Why do you read a Jewish myth literally when the old Jews do not?
Rabbi Hillel, the older contemporary of Jesus, said that when asked to sum up the whole of Jewish teaching, while he stood on one leg, said, "The Golden Rule. That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the Torah. And everything else is only commentary. Now, go and study it."
Please listen as to what is said about literal reading.
"Origen, the great second or third century Greek commentator on the Bible said that it is absolutely impossible to take these texts literally. You simply cannot do so. And he said, "God has put these sort of conundrums and paradoxes in so that we are forced to seek a deeper meaning."

Meeting God will be done via resurrection, almost as good as being a believer in a literal God but a little short.
