I made a mistake there.The Lot story is like the flip side of the Rahab the Jericho hooker's story in Joshua chapter 2. Joshua had sent out two spies to see how to attack Jericho. The hooker Rahab (one of Jesus' ancestors) collaborated with the enemy and betrayed her townspeople for destruction at the hands of the Israelites. And just like Lot, she saved her own skin while the people she had know were slaughtered.
That hardly impacts any of the points I made though, which have not been addressed. I see you don't even want to talk about why angels are so weak they can be raped, or whether they have bum holes. Or whether God was playing with his own bum hole and needed a man and his family to protect his angels.
God is not coming across as powerful, he's coming across as "giving it a college try" with his limited resources, and going about it in a psycopathic manner. As well as being haggled with. Why exactly did he need to send in angels, why didn't he already know what immorality was supposedly happening in the town?
I feel a certain kind of sympathy, you are in the position of defending the indefensible. The more you try and paint God and Lot as the good guys here, the more you sink into an immoral quagmire.
