He chose the well-watered plain. It was a large place. He landed in the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Odd for a herdsman to be living in an urban environment, no? In fact, I challenge you to find any mention of Lot as a herdsman after he leaves Abram. He lost his entire identity because of affection direction.

"Lot's wife..." She looked back, but we don't know why.

Doesn't matter why. She diosobeyed. Her death could have been averted if lot would have left the cities earlier, or chosen a different path altogether.
"Lots daughters..." maybe or maybe not pure conjecture.

"Lot got drunk" actually his daughters orchestrated that, so did Noah but I don't see anyone jumping on that.

So Lot was forced to get drunk? Get real!

"Lot slept with both of his daughters" As sick as that sounds to us apparently Cain and Seth married their sisters, sounds kinda sick too and up to that point it had not been prohibited. There was a lot that happened in the OT that I wonder how much of it God approved of and how much of it he simply allowed. I don't have an answer for that. I can't comprehend allowing your mistress to be gang raped, or killing children in war, or a lot of other things including sleeping with your daughters.

Wow, you are way off the reservation, Bro. God never condoned incest, ever. Any man in an incestuous relationship is no NOT righteous.

I'm floored.

Truly.
