Apparently it was too much to ask that he stop anyone getting raped at all, or protect his own damn angels. And I thought angels were meant to be powerful creatures. If a simple angry mob is a threat to them, they are rather pathetic.Great comments.
I mentioned before, they must have bum holes too if the tale is meant to be about sodomy. Angels with bum holes. Why would they need those? Expressly for the purpose of accepting angry mob dicks?
The best way to interpret this story is that it's gibberish nonsense that didn't happen, like most of the OT. But the fact that Lot is portrayed as the hero shows what a screwed up sense of morality they had back then. It's scary that some people want us to regress back to that.
The "angels" were not weird creatures with assorted pairs of wings but simply royal messengers from the local bigwig. The local yokels were not fans of the local bigwig and wanted to rape his messengers as a sign of contempt for him. In other words, they wanted to tell him to go F himself.
Lot, being the toady that he was, was willing to throw his own daughters to the mob in order to cultivate favor with the bigwig by protecting his messengers. Remember, Lot and his daughters worse morals than the potential rapers. Once they blew the town they whacked Lot's wife upside the head, holed up in a cave, got drunk, and screwed like rabbits. The local bigwig found out how he saved his messengers and gave Lot a pat on the back.
