CHAPTER TWENTY
THREE
Lot heads to the mountains with his daughters because he's afraid to live in Zork. Lot and his family settle in a cave. Like in Zork! The elder daughter says, "Dad is old! And we don't have anyone to do it to in this cave!" She says, "Let's get dad drunk and do it to him to preserve his seed in our belly!" Lot is made to drink a lot of wine and blacks out. The oldest daughter has sex with Lot. Lot doesn't notice. Or remember. Or admit that he remembers. The older daughter brags to the younger daughter and tells the youngest daughter it is her turn tonight! Lot is made to drink a lot of wine and blacks out. The youngest daughter has sex with Lot. Lot doesn't notice. Or remember. Or admit that he remembers. Both daughters become pregnant because living in a cave will match up cycles like that. The older daughter beshat Moab, father of the Moabites. The youngest daughter beshat Ben-ammi, father of the Ammonites.
STUDY QUESTIONS! If Lot wasn't so scared and lazy, do you think Zoar would have been destroyed? It must be a scary and wicked place if Lot feels he must go live in a cave rather than living there. Good going, Lot! You saved a 'Lot' of wicked people! Including your daughters, apparently! Does Lot's oldest daughter actually think the whole world has been destroyed and their father is the only man left? They were just in Zoar and Zoar wasn't called The City Without Any Men! It was the Small City. So do you think she's just horny? Maybe Lot's daughter was influenced by the wickedness of Zoar and confused from the loss of her mother since she didn't seem to be interested in sex when she was married. Is that what happens when you get married? You don't want to have sex anymore? Lot's oldest daughter uses the excuse that she'll preserve the seed of their father by sleeping with him. Doesn't that excuse to preserve the family line only really work once? Why would they need to preserve the seed of the father in both daughters? I guess there was no way of knowing that either daughter was pregnant. Although the oldest daughter could have pulled this stunt every night until she was pregnant and not have involved her younger sister. How are we supposed to know what the daughters did was a sin? I don't think the heading 'The Sins of Lot's Daughters' is actually part of The Non-Translated Bible, is it? Isn't it just a convention of the King James Version? If it isn't normally there, what clues would lead you to believe what they did was a sin? Is it because the Moabites and the Ammonites are cursed peoples? I know I don't need any help to be grossed out by this Chapter but being grossed out doesn't necessarily mean something is a sin! Did Stormtroopers ever actually accomplish a mission? And were they really willing to sacrifice their lives to try to accomplish those missions? I think they probably didn't think they were going to die at all whenever they attacked a planet! They were always better armored and better gunned than those wascally webels! But Rebel Fighters never fight fair! Jerks! Did Lot wonder how his daughters became pregnant? He says they'd never been with a man the day before they flee from the city. Were they known as Zoar's Whores or something? Or is Lot just filled with as much denial as most parents? Wouldn't Lot have woken up with, um, evidence that something had occurred between him and a lady? Should I even call his daughters 'ladies'?
FAITH vs SCIENCE
HISTORICAL FACTS Drinking wine until you black out is not a sin (as we have seen a few times now). So have fun! Except that it opens the door for your children to sin by looking at you naked or having sex with you. So don't do it if you have children! I'm using a Star Wars Stormtrooper card for my bookmark in The Bible. It's from the Collectible Card Game released a long time ago. It defines the Stormtrooper as 'One of countless elite shock troops totally loyal to the Emperor. Unquestioningly follow orders. Willing to sacrifice their lives to accomplish a mission. First-strike forces.' Stormtroopers probably weren't loyal to the Emperor any more than anybody else. They were probably just low income youths with no better opportunities and so signed up for the Stormtrooper Corps. Or they were drafted. The Empire seems like the kind of place where everyone would have to serve some military time. Lot was the first Hermit in history. You'd probably become a hermit too if your hometown was destroyed in fire and brimstone and your wife was turned into a salt lick. Zork had so many puzzles that I couldn't figure out. Although I did manage to turn off the echo in the Echo Room by manipulating the Dam's controls. And I did it on purpose too! I didn't accidentally do it and then wander in and go, "Hey! No echo!" I meant to do it! And I didn't use the stupid trick where you say 'Echo' to stop the echoing.
ESSAY
ASSIGNMENT. A.
Pretend you were stuck in a cave with your mother/father or your child. What
would it take before you would have sex with him/her/it? Just a jug of wine?
DRAWING TIME! Draw some computer images of various monsters and people and places that could be used in a Fantasy Computer Role Playing Game.
WHAT DID CHRISTIAN LITERALISTS LEARN? Getting drunk and having sex with your daughter is your daughter's sin and not yours. |
