Bible Trivia: Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced



In Genesis 19: 30-35, Lot's daughter gets him very drunk so that she can sleep with him.  The next night: 

A:  Lot is cursed by god for committing immoral sex

B:  Lot banishes his daughter

C:  Lot gets drunk again and his other daughter sleeps with him

D:  Lot climbs the mountains of Araat and see a burning bush


 Shots shots shots shots shots Shots, everybody!
ANSWER:  C

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.

Ok, how do you accidentally have incestual sex with your own daughters...two nights in a row?

Have you ever gotten so drunk that you had sex with a random stranger?  What do you do the next day?

 we've all been there...and if you haven't you're not trying.

Perhaps he realized what had happened with his daughter and thought, "Jeez, I really need a drink.  Hair of the dog that bit me and all that jazz."

fool him once, shame on me...

I think the biggest question that this story raises is...why is it in the bible?  Why was it important to know?  I suppose to preserve the historical content of the book, but to what purpose?  

Is this really less weird than the stories about Jesus taming dragons or when god gave Reuben syphilis?



 Best.  Day.  Ever.
