For me it shows: the depravity of the city--demonstrating God's strategy--and how it rubs off on the righteous; that Lot was lucky Uncle Abe was advocating for him--cuz he doesn't really seem that righteous; if he were a father parenting in a godly way, he would have given himself to the mob before his daughters; the family system stuff is evident--the daughter's actions aren't surprising given dad's actions (and I'm suspicious that maybe they were only "technical virgins" courtesy of dad); finally, I'm glad that over time I figured out that not everything in Scripture is prescriptive but largely descriptive--as a kid the assumption was that if it's in there, it's "biblical" aka right. Not so here! SO seeing that clearly helps clear up the misnomer about God's way not honoring of women--this was clearly not God's way. nuff said!

You are not called "The Shark" for nothing. Their thinking that there weren't any men left would certainly explain their desperate behavior. Well played, Dr. Poole.
