Rape in the Bible

Also note that some cultures have very strict codes requiring protection of a guest. Did you see or read Lone Survivor?

I know there have and still are traditions to that extent.

Here's the thing: Lot's a dirty coward. He throwing his daughter to the wolfs. The honest thing to do would have been offering himself.

Lot wouldn't have even been in the situation if he hadn't insisted that they come inside his house. He desperately urged them to come inside, then when the men were at his door he offered his daughters up. I would say that valuing strangers over your children is a bit worse than gang raping men.

And the best thing about it, the angels made the mob blind, so that they couldn't find the door. But they didn't extend the courtesy to the daughters.
