    who were fucking each other anyway, so whatevs

    Where are you getting that from? The only thing the bible says about Lot’s daughters when the mob shows up was that they were virgins.

    After God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah (and Lot’s wife) and they were living in a cave in the hills, the daughters get Lot drunk and take turns having sex with him, but this was more a way to explain the origin of the Ammonites and the Moabites in an unflattering way than anything else. The bible almost exclusively portrays women in a terrible way, so the fact that they seemingly raped their dad likely wasn’t the point of the story.

        It’s all good. I was just wondering if there was something in an apocryphal text I didn’t know about.
