Which feels right within your heart?
OT God was a nut...
Jesus was "The Man"... who had a different message then said previous maniacal terrorist...
You know the difference between what has been deemed "Good and Evil"
We all do
a good man that had sex with his daughters.
Not to be a stickler because I see your point, but isn't it Lots daughters who got Lot drunk and waited until he passed out and then raped him?

So yea I guess he did have sex with them but it wasn't voluntarily.

Yes we all do! Evil is setting two people up to fail, like planting a forbidden tree in a garden with two humans bestowed with curiosity. Evil is murdering not only all the people in a flood, but all the animals too. Evil is punishing an old lady for laughing at the prospect of bearing a child to Abraham. Evil is allowing a man to still rule after killing the husband of the woman he was infatuated with.
Yes, yes! We all know evil, but just wait a sec because I'm sure someone will be along to dispute this.
But again, concepts that would require much more knowledge of the text to substantiate and back up.

Riiiight. How likely does that story sound?
It's always easier to blame the girl while in a patriarchal system.

Sorry, but if concepts, excuses, and apologies are needed to understand and justify the stories in the bible, then it all comes down to rubbish. If we wanted we could raise a fire hydrant to the status of a god if we over analyzed the hell out of it. Either the bible is inspired by a god to COMMUNICATE with his people, or it's fiction, pure and simple.
Kids rarely do what their parents want, aren't you a parent?
So I suppose the OP you posted had nothing to do with answering the question posed, but simply for you to post that canned response. If you would like I could go in to great detail on the theology of the religion in question (as I could with most world religions, BA in theology) if you truly have theological questions based on the text I will by all means answer them to the best of my Ability. IF not however I bid you good day.

Jesus didn't follow in God's footsteps and kill people........Yet later a lot of people were killed in Jesus's name.
