What can I say?  This is a very disturbing portion of scripture.  I said that I wouldn’t gloss over the bad stuff, so I’m not.  It’s a tragic sin that ultimately was the result of wrong choices.  Lot chose to live in the city of Sodom.  He took the easy way, the greener grass and the prosperous city.  But apparently, he did not take the time to teach his daughters just how sinful the culture of the Sodom was.  He did not teach them that the actions of the people of Sodom was sin the eyes of God. And that God hated sin. Sin brings trouble and has consequences that can only bring sorrow and pain; not only to the ones who have sinned but it will affect generations to come.  Only God can take a tragedy and make something good out of it.
