cw sexual assault
So the town of Sodom hears that there are two angels at Lot's house, so they go over and say "hey, we want to rape your guests". Then Lot goes "no, rape my daughters instead", to which they respond "no, we want to rape the guests". Then God goes "you know what? I'm barbecuing the city and the one next door, Lot, you and your family leave, but don't look back". Then Lot's wife does look back, so she gets turned into a seasoning.
like... the fuck?
Well in Bible times it was considered a really big deal to rape your guests. This likely came from the fact that wronging people from a different tribe would likely lead to a war. Lot as the host had a moral duty to protect his guests at any cost
As a side note if a town's reaction to people from outside the town is gang rape the town probably should be destroyed

Ironically this is where you probably lose a lot of Conservative "Christians"
yeah but they were in the wrong here and I'm sticking by that principle
No, I'm with you all the way on this. Just saying there's a whole lot more places that need burning down to the ground.
