Quote from: Arcadian Del Sol

On the contrary, they wanted to gang rape the 'fresh meat' - "send them out so that we may know them."


Understood, but those cities had supposedly been hotbeds of guy on guy action and gang bangs for a long time.  Most scholars who've written about this point out that God wasn't so much offended by that (although he was) as the threat to rape the outsiders; in other words, extreme inhospitality.

When Lot wanted to give the mob his daughters instead of the guests in his home he'd shown God that he was a righteous person, thus deserving of mercy.

PS: this thread is offically dead now, yes? Its gone from a cross-party comedy gold mine that is the Bush/Kerry "your land" cartoon, to a discussion of the Old Testament. LOCKABLE.


The interesting part is looking back at how innocently it began. To wit:

The Old Testament has such a low standard for righteous.  Sigh.

Don't forget that later on, the daughters get Lot drunk, sleep with him, and bear his children to preserve the family line. Incest for teh win.

Bring the noise.

And my religious friends wonder why I view the bible as something less than a moral guideline for me to live by. Between Lot's earlier actions "No rape my daughters instead" and this and countless other such actions in the Old Testament....

And people like to dismiss this argument as hysterics, but it's true.  If you open the door to gay marriage what stands against polygamy, incestuous marriage, etc?  All of those relationships can be between consenting adults, and they are all lifestyle choices.  If gay marriage is valid then why wouldn't those relationships be?
