====================
	And yet Lot, clearly a heterosexual 
himself, later has sexual intercourse with his 
two daughters and "Thus were BOTH the 
daughters of Lot with child by their 
father."(Genesis 19:36). 

	And so Lot, a man considered 
"...just...that righteous man...godly..."
(2 Peter 2:7-9) lived out his life as one of God's 
favorites, one of the great Bible patriarches.

	What a scandal.....!
