If that was true, Lot wouldn't have had to beat off a crowd with his desexing stick and offer up his own daughters to be fucked instead of the angels that came to visit him.

In that story, the angels took the form of men. Apparently super hot men lol.

Most of the biblical descriptions of what angels really look like are fucking terrifying.

Horny and unsexy are not mutually exclusive

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

True. You've basically described me.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Now now, everyone is sexy to someone

If I remember correctly, he didn’t fight the horny mob at all, he offered his daughters to them.

They weren't horny. It was a ritual of dominance and exile, much like tar-and-feathering. In the days of the Hebrews, death by snu-snu was a common way to dispose of unwanted strangers. The whole encounter was a symptom of the wrongdoing of Sodom, specifically, of hording wealth and failing to welcome the stranger and the immigrant, failing to uplift the poor and feed the hungry and treat the sick.

Fixating on buggery is to distract from modern societies that repeat these same acts of wickedness (looking at you, United States). Wanting to snu-snu the angels was essentially the equivalent of children-in-cages policies today.

Only now, human societies, especially the United States have harnessed the power to raze cities with fire from the sky.

Oh and women who read the story of Lot and his daughters see that he got drunk on his own and raped his own progeny. This act is so common the US has PSA billboards about it (e.g. Your Daughter Is Not Your Date! ). Victim-blaming is also typical.

Is this real?

[–] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Sadly yes

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I... think?

It looks like there's at least one that made the news. However it is a common story I've heard from victims in the recovery community.

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah that does look real, not sure if it does more good than harm by putting it on a billboard.

And unfortunately it does seem to be common enough that even as a guy I've met a woman who had this happen to her and told me, and assumably many others who didn't say anything about the experience.

If you read the story you'll find that it was Lot's daughters who raped their father.

~~That was the daughters of Noah. You're mixing up your Bible lore a bit.~~

I was wrong! My bad on that.

Genesis 19:30-38

30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”

33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. 37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab[a]; he is the father of the Moabites of today. 38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi[b]; he is the father of the Ammonites[c] of today.

You're right, my apologies. Been a good while since I've cracked open the book.

Either way, good wholesome biblical tales for the whole family!
