Personally, I put that down to a personality flaw among believers.
They are stupid.
Pretty sure you're not smarter than the average theist. Do you even have a GED?
Do you have anything relevant to the subject of the thread to say? Like an explanation for why God would need scouts to tell him what is going on in Sodom and Gomorrah? Is God a clueless moron, far from being omniscient? Or why Lot is supposedly a good man (2 Peter 2:7-8), when he is someone who would turn his daughters out to a mob to be gang raped (Genesis 19)? Is that something a good man would do? Is that your idea of goodness? It is the Bible's idea of goodness. Do you have anything relevant to say to this?
Do you seriously think that angels could not defend themselves against the mob?
You should say something relevant to a thread, or you should stay out of it. Really, though, I would like to see what you have to say about the issues of the opening post, and the questions I have asked in this post. Otherwise, we will be thinking how morally bankrupt your religion is, as it certainly seems that way from looking at what is claimed in the Bible.
