Actually the story of Sodom and Gammorah was made to teach the lesson that "even God makes mistakes." This is what I was taught in Hebrew School being Jewish myself, but I realize that Judaism is really just the predecessor to Christianity, namely the Old Testament.
Are you sure you didn't fall asleep in class that day or something? I, too, have studied that passage in Hebrew. It says nothing about God going, "OOPS!" He had deliberate reasons for destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, specifically because of their violence and hatred (of which their "sodomy" was but one more instance). God did not make a mistake, anymore than the US made a mistake when it went to war against that really mean German guy whose name you're not supposed to mention in forums.
