Food for thought (Genesis 19:1-38)

In the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah, God sends two angels to warn Lot and his family, who are the only good people between both towns, to flee. The men of Sodom demand Lot sends out the angels, so they may rape them. Lot offers to send out his virgin daughters instead. The men refuse and demand the angels. Lot and his family flee, but his wife looks back and is turned into a pillar of salt. As they travel searching for a new home, Lot's daughters begin having sex with him in his sleep to carry on the family bloodline.

What exactly is the moral here? Offer your daughters up to be raped, and they'll sleep with you later?

At least you read the Bible even if you do so with extremely little understanding.

@Anton You going to tell me where I got it wrong, or just keep insulting me?

Anton · 56-60, M

@LordShadowfire Oh don't be such a sissy. Take it like a man

LordShadowfire · 100+, M

@Anton Okay, so you're not going to explain it. Presumably because you fucking can't.

Anton · 56-60, M

@LordShadowfire The point is even if I do explain what I can explain you still won't understand. It's just the way it is. Why? 1 Cor 2:14... But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned... You are a "natural man" as I have said before. You need the Spirit of God to reveal the true meaning(s) of His Word and the only way to receive the Spirit of God is to surrender, to repent and to start believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that you are a sinner and have sinned and that He died for you, was resurrected and because He rose from the dead you are saved and alive too..

@Anton See, here we go again. You've got no way of explaining it to me, so instead you choose to insult me and then quote from your mythbook.

Anton · 56-60, M

@LordShadowfire It's not an insult. I am no better than you, I just understand how it works because I were in the same situation many years ago. I am not more clever than you, I am not superior to you. I am even uglier than you I suppose.

@Anton Yeah, well, I've already done the whole Christian thing. I was a true believer. The truest to be found in the whole Pacific Northwest. I read the Bible clear through, three times. Went to church, listened to nothing but contemporary Christian music, literally had the t-shirt. You'd think God would have told you that before you started this.

@LordShadowfire Yeah well He doesn't pimp on people.

@Anton What the fuck does that even mean?
