Where Do You Get Your Morals From?: Lot's Story

There should be a second part of this comic that documents the ending where Lot's daughters fuck their dad to be sure they are impregnated by a "godly" man

The bible more directly endorses war rape:

Deuteronomy 21:10-14 ESV

When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails. And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

God also turned Lots wife into a pillar of salt for commiting the heinous crime of checks book again looking over her shoulder, that harlot!

Also, once they were homeless those same daughters drugged and raped him!

The Bible: fun for the whole family!

I've been getting into some early Christian / Biblical textual analysis and history and apparently the people who wrote the Sodom story would not have understood the concept of homosexuality as an orientation, their conception was entirely act-based and focused on penetrator vs penetrated.

So this story, the primary anti-gay biblical story, is better understood as showing the Sodomites violating Guest Right, and Lot being such a good host that he expends resources (gives away his daughters to be raped) to keep his guests safe.

Just goes to show how cultural context is important in reading texts.

What about the part where his daughters rape him?

I thought only my former religion, Islam, had this bullshit. Turned out they're all the same.

Ok where's the rest of the comic

Don't forget the part where Lot's daughters get him drunk and rape him

Ahhh stories like this in the Bible are always conveniently overlooked during Sunday school. I wonder why that is? 🤔🤔

y'know... maybe if I were a 2100 year old Palestinian goat-herder living under Roman rule, I just might believe this shit...

And the other part of that fucked up story is that the "moral" (and I use that word very loosely) is supposed to be about being kind to strangers in your Country.

The kind of person that considers women as chattel, and less valuable than the favor of strangers,

Edit to add: there’s another passage in judges that follows the same pattern- judges 19:22; except it’s the guy’s concubine instead of daughters.

Nothing beats The Professor Brothers telling of the tale.

The infallible, all-knowing, God (and objective morality) was different back then...

The cartoon is good except they show the daughters as too old. In those times the girls were married off by 16, so if you're showing two daughters they should be more like 15 and 12. Imagine that for a fucking second.

Lot's wife became the salt of the earth.

tbf, isn't the whole point of the bible to show terrible stories as bad examples?
like aren't you supposed to draw your own conclusions or whatever from it?
idk i never read it, just know the basic overview of some stuff.

Im just so tired of web comics

The bible should be one long poem that must be sung in order to hear it.
