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?
Lot's daughters thought everyone had died, including their betrothed. Their mom was dead, so they thought they'd have to reproduce the human race with their dad. Lot refused, so they got him drunk.
Thank you for the straight forward answer. I can absolutely see this within the framework of biblical ‘folksy wisdom’. (Or something that in context of the Bible makes you nod along and say ‘yup, mhmm, ok…’)
a lot of Biblical stuff is supposed to be weird and disconcerting, people just teach it wrong.
