Of course the fact that the Bible was written *after* the event and has been re-written, re-translated had sections omitted for not being "religiously correct" etc isn't relevant to the discussion...
Sodom and Gommorrah was "discipline"?
Sending bears to tear apart children is "discipline"??
Making people burn in hell for all eternity is "discipline"???
This must be some strange usage of the word I wasn't previously aware of.

I've got to admit that eternal damnation is one of the things that make me feel that Christianity cannot be true. Let's get this straight. The age of the universe is about 15 billion years, an extremely long time. If you were punished for the age of the universe for every one of your evil deeds, for every one of your evil thoughts, then it would be, literally, and I mean literally, as nothing compared to eternity. Any god who could do something like that to someone whom he had created is infinitely evil, as far as I am concerned. Of course, if you wish to explain that eternity is not actually infinite, then I'm all ears . . .
