====================

	Po' ol' Lot. Those two daughters of 
his (the same ones Lot offered to the sexual 
perverts of Sodom to "....Behold, I have two 
daughters who have not known man: let me, 
I pray you, bring them out to you, and do ye 
with them as you will.....but unto these male 
guests of mine, do nothing...."(Gen 19:4-11) 
take advantage of their dad and force him 
to impregnate them.

	We already know how "....righteous 
and Godly....." Lot would react under THOSE 
circumstances, don't we.....?

	(For a real eye-opener and objective 
apraisal, discuss the above incident with any 
open-minded female of your acquaintence.)
