Do atheists give value to righteousness?

Let's not be selling ol' Lot short. He offered his daughters up to the men of the town for brutal gang rape before he banged 'em himself.

Gotta be worth something. Besides, his daughters were just trying to do what was right for mankind after having seen a genie destroy everyone else in pillars of flame and righteous indignation.

Let's get the story straight, guys. Lot was raped by his daughters, not the other way around. They got him drunk and humped him in a cave. Gawd Wrote:Genesis 19:32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.” This was the reason it was okay to genocide the crap out of the Moabites and the Ammonites, because they were the demon seed of Lot and his daughters.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.B-mine..... Isn't it amusing how swiftly (and utterly) Lot is exonerated of any wrongdoing? Almost as though someone interrupted the storyteller with a question about the ethics behind dads whiskey-dicking their daughters; and was promptly told to shut the fuck up, by said storyteller. "I said he was not aware, not when she lay down, not when she got up, period."

I thought "Righteous" was a black thing
It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it
  
Righteous is only for brothers.
