Is the Bible not the most misogynistic text ever?

Oh yeah. I remember reading it and thinking. Lot protected two strangers by letting a village gangrape his daughters...the fuck is this?

@InterstellarTerror to his defence the strangers i think were angels
@popmol Sure, thats what the sunday school teacher said. But if you read it carefully, you realize, he didnt know that. Plus, if you gotta let two girls get gangraped because some angey Sodomites are harrassing you. Are you really an angel?

@InterstellarTerror it might be another story we are talkign about it think i heard ( i mean i actually heard this a day ago form someone i'm not religious and wasn't raised that way.) a guy had 2 virgin daughters and wanted toi give them away instead of the angels but they said no so he ran away and got raped while he was drunk because they lived in a cave and they wanted a family. (not really much better but hey)
@popmol same guy, later in the story.

@InterstellarTerror Yes, he offered they did not comply with that offer, but it is a story and it was not meant for a blueprint on how to be a good person.
@SW-User Oh sure, I know that and you know that. But for thousands of years it was THE blueprint for billions and still is.

@InterstellarTerror No, it is a story and that is all to make it anything else is giving it too much power. To me the men were evil in the story and so was Lot and his daughters. They were only spared because of Abraham prayers. Not saying it is even a true story, who knows?
@SW-User It isnt a true story. It is Jewish folklore. But billions of people have read that and think, oh thats a womans place.
