I looked up the various quotations relating to Lot, and specifically what Jesus said about him. In New Testament (somewhere, admitedly I didn't keep my notes around, I try to spend as little time as possible thinking about mythology) there is a quote saying: "Jesus says: Lot was a good man" (or something to the effect). It's definitely obvious to someone with a searchable bible or you know, wikipedia.<BR/><BR/>EzekiahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-53884768952474094902008-04-21T23:29:00.000-04:002008-04-21T23:29:00.000-04:00Thanks for the information.

I was telling her how the Bible is so full of rubbish, and was citing Lot as an example, when she said that actually Lot was not a good man - he was spared only because he was Abraham's nephew.<BR/><BR/>Well, that was funny. Didn't the Bible mention that Lot was the embodiment of righteousness? And if he was spared only because he was related to Abraham, does that mean that God accepted bribery?Miao 妙https://www.blogger.com/profile/02530675682644268678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-1863946019515660792008-04-20T17:57:00.000-04:002008-04-20T17:57:00.000-04:00Maybe he was just super virile?Maybe he was just super virile?GCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744295225958022872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-86046930090619098422008-04-20T06:59:00.000-04:002008-04-20T06:59:00.000-04:00Yup, I am aware that Lot was drunk.

I just changed that detail in the hope of making my story a little more comical. >_<<BR/><BR/>As Richard Dawkins said, Lot was somehow too drunk to realise that he had copulated with his daughters, and yet conscious enough to have impregnated them.

One point though, in the Biblical story, Lot isn't knocked out, but partakes in wine and gets so drunk that he passes out before the daughters copulate with him. This, however, is blamed on the daughters, as the Bible describes it as them getting him so drunk he passes out - as if he had nothing to do with it.GCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744295225958022872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-31215365556888658652008-04-19T05:30:00.000-04:002008-04-19T05:30:00.000-04:00I wrote a satirical story on this once.
