Okay so Lot is in Sodom and God sends two angels to the city in search of honest men. A crowd gathers outside of Lot's house demanding that he toss out the angels so that they can sodomize them. But you can't sodomize angels, they aren't even human, and they can kick some serious ass.

So what does Lot do? He offers the crowd of rapists his virgin daughters!

Where is the sense in that?

#

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
#

And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
#

And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
#

But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
#

And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
#

And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
#

And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
#

Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

I judge by deeds and works- much more important than words, and the deeds and works of the religious are often to exclude. I understand the tendency, but in organized groups I don't like it.

And again, it's not really about just "Christians"
- it's about all religions.
