Well to be honest, the story of Lot and his daughters is about as “out there” as it gets.

Lot is grisly yet is not related in a porno way. Terrible sins are recounted in scripture on occasion. Yet sin is not celebrated or promoted, rather it is shown as horrible.

Imagine telling the story of the Civil War. One could talk all about the mini ball tearing the flesh, disrupting the small intestine, joyfully describe the screams, the ensuing infection, pus, screams, dwell on amputations and complications, the agonies of death. Or one could say a man was tragically shot, badly hurt, and died in despair of a lingering infection.

In both cases the history is told but in one a psychopath can really indulge and in the other all of us can sympathize and relate and understand.
