Free NONSENSE FROM THE BIBLE by Brian Baker

daughters were spared as the two angels (now called men) at last performed their power tricks:
     
    Genesis 19:10-11
    But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. And they smote the men that were at the door with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
     
     
    The angels then told Lot and his family to prepare to leave the city in the morning as God would destroy both Sodom and the city of Gomorrah and all the cities in the plain because of their wickedness. So God wiped out a number of cities and countless men, women, children and animals and only saved Lot and his family from his wrath.
     
    In the morning the angels told Lot and his wife and family to leave and ‘not to look back at the city’ - Unfortunately Lot’s wife looked back and was immediately turned into a pillar of salt! Pow! - Dead!
     
    Here it is worth mentioning that the ‘sin’ of the city of Sodom was not homosexuality as many believe. The sin was the inhospitality and laziness of the inhabitants as the Prophet Ezekiel proclaimed the words of God concerning the destruction of Sodom:
     
    Ezekiel 16:48-50   
    As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.  
     
    Josephus also commented:
    The Sodomites, overweeningly proud of their numbers and the extent of their wealth, showed themselves insolent to men and impious to the Divinity, insomuch that they no more remembered the benefits that they had received from him, hated foreigners and declined all intercourse with others. Indignant at this conduct, God accordingly resolved to chastise them for their arrogance…   (Josephus, Antiquities I : 194-5) 
     
    Here is another curious event recorded in the same chapter concerning Lot and his two daughters – this time it is incest!
     
    BIBLE FAMILY VALUES - INCLUDES INCEST!
     
    Lot continued on his way with his two daughters until they were a good distance from the plain where the cities had been destroyed. They were living for a while in a cave and then one night the daughters had a good idea - so the story goes: 
     
     
    Genesis 19:30-37
    A nd Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
     
     
    POLYGAMY IS ACCEPTED BEHAVIOUR IN GOD’S FAMILY VALUES
     
    There are ample examples of polygamy in the Bible, the leader with the most wives and lovers being the great Solomon who had at least 1,000 sexual partners:
     
    1 Kings 11:1-3
    But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; Of the nations
