I read it in the Bible Pt. 2

Two angels are sent by God to tell Lot to leave the city of Sodom since God had commanded it to be destroyed. Lot insists that the angels stay the night at his house before the city is obliterated. On that night, a mob of angry men gather outside Lot's house and they demand to have gay sex with the angels.

Genesis 19:4

"Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surround the house. They called out to Lot, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.'"

Lot's response expresses a very peculiar point of view concerning the value of women and the power of homophobia.

Genesis 19:7

Lot says "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof."


Now I know why only certain portions of the Bible are taught at church. Besides, I don't think this helps the "family first" mentality at all. However, it does wonders in the formation of skewed perspectives of homosexuality. Anyways, the wave of raging gay men are repelled, the city is obliterated, and Lot's wife is turned into a pillar of salt by God for defying His orders not to look back at the destroyed city. WTF.

I read it in the Bible, Part 1

This is the LORD's punishment Eve for eating the fruit of the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 3:16

To the woman he said,

"I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
with the pain you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you."


Ladies, you can now forget the whole theory of how, in your transition from walking quadripedally to bipedally, your hips shifted and childbearing became more difficult. You can now blame it on the LORD himself. Oh, and should any domestic issues arise between you and your husband, feel comforted by the fact the he rules over you. Good luck.
