You’re nine kinds of warped around the axle about this and being pretty nasty to someone who seems to be chill.
Also, as an agnostic atheist raised in some ugly fundamentalism: you’re applying modern views that are out of context to the period. Women and children were basically property. A similar modern view would be towards livestock.
You’re trying to chew on the wrong people. No one here is defending anything. Context is being provided.
Organized religion is mostly a poison, especially the fundamentalist version. Also, I get the rage. That shit ate my family.
That being said, I think it’s important to be as accurate as possible in our criticism. Lot’s daughters were offered for gang rape as his visitors were male aspect angels. Warped perspective given modern views. It’s about the duty to visitors and the evil of Sodom. I don’t know the historicity of Sodom and Gomorrah, but the story is almost certainly mostly fictional.
What’s really fucked up is trying to apply Bronze Age morality to the current age and cramming it down children’s throats.
You’re so angry about this shit, but, maybe you should make sure you’re directing that anger at appropriate targets.

That doesn’t make it okay. This God was just okay with that? Hahaha. Fuck that.
I was also raised in that shit. Of course I’m fucking warped by it.
This shit is fucked up and ANY defense of these scriptures is automatic red flag for hateful bigotry.
