Coincidence?

A huge incident that occurs in this account is when the men try to smash in Lots front door to "get at" the angels and have sex with men because the men of the city think they see men that are fresh meat.
The angels strike them with blindness and they scatter not knowing what just happened to them.
If you read the account further you see that Lot, distrusting man in general now, hides in the mountains with his 2 daughters.
His daughters not wanting to be barren get Lot drunk and have sex with him in an effort to get pregnant and have children and carry on the family name.
This has always bothered me because this was supposedly a man in Gods good favor and yet with all this divine intervention going on the daughter are able to have incestuous relations with their father and all is good.
Two cities were wiped off the face of the earth for behaviour not too much unlike this.
Fastpat - you are correct, they were also involved with beasteality and pedophelia amonst many other perversions. If it had a hole in it a dick was going in.
