    No, in the other story some angels visited a guy, and they were so pretty that the townspeople wanted to duck them. He gave the mob his daughters to be raped instead of the angels.

    The book is messed up.

      Yes, Lot was that guy.

      He offered up his “virgin daughters” but the crowd wanted some of that sweet angel man meat instead. Lot, was a resident of Sodom.

      The crowd of men wanting to fuck a male angel rather than Lot’s daughters is why Sodomy was named such. Note that that wasn’t the crime that doomed Sodom and Gomorrah. That was Abraham (Lot’s Uncle) deciding that both cities were wicked.

      Lot and two of his daughters fled the city, his wife didn’t make it on account of being turned into a pillar of salt for the crime of looking back at the city being destroyed.

      Then his daughters suddenly decided that their grieving father should have a male heir and that they have to provide, seeing as how their mother was dead.

      The resulting sons would then go on to found the kingdoms of Moab and Ammon. (in what’s now modern day Jordan).

      The bible has some fucked up shit.

      It’s the same story in that it’s the same guy at different parts of the story. Lot showed his hospitality for the strangers (angels) from the mob by offering his daughters (they didn’t take him up on the offer), and his family was spared from the destruction of the city. Then later his daughters were worried their lineage would end (their mother had been turned into a pillar of salt) so when they were hiding out in a cave with their dad they got him drunk two separate nights to each have a chance to rape and impregnate themselves with him.
