Did the daughters both get pregnant the first time that they had sex with Dad? If, like most people it took more then one chance each for the girls to get pregnant, why did Lot accept alcohol from them again? Also, where did they get the alcohol? Couldn't the angels just have reappeared and said, "Hey, girl, the world isn't ending. Remember, you just came from the town of Zoar. There are still men around for you to make babies with so don't rape daddy." If we take the story literally, then god punishes someone for being curious and doesn't punish rapists.
I don't understand how anyone can read the bible and see it as any more then mythology. As fiction it is still a weird story but does show how important hospitality was to the Hebrews. I have met people who believe that this story should be taught as historical fact.
