Drunk With Blood Read Online Free Page B

and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. 19.4-5
    Man, those must have been some good-looking angels!
    Lot’s response was to protect the angels (who you’d think could take care of themselves) by offering the sex-crazed mob his two virgin daughters instead.
    Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes. 19.8
    [This is a man, by the way, whom the Bible calls “just and righteous” in 2 Peter 2:7-8. A few verses later he will get drunk and impregnate both his virgin daughters (see Genesis 19:30-38), but that’s another lovely Bible story.]
    As it turns out, though, there is no time for Lot to make good on his kind offer because God is getting ready to commit another mass murder. The angels strike the Sodomites blind, and tell Lot, his virgin daughters (and their husbands!), and his wife to flee.
    But the men … smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness … And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: For we will destroy this place … the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. 19.10-13
    And then all hell breaks loose.
    The LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven. 19.24
    OK, so that’s it. That is God’s second mass murder.
    But how many people did God smash and burn to death in Sodom and Gomorrah? Well, I, of course, have no idea. I don’t think any of this actually happened. But I’ll guess 2000, 1000 from each city.

4. Remember Lot’s wife (Forget Jesus)

    Genesis 19.26
    Number killed: 1
    Lot’s Wife
    Although this is God’s fourth killing event, it is the first of God’s 2,476,636 countable victims.
    It’s interesting that God’s first countable victim is unnamed. God killed Mrs. Lot without even knowing (or at least telling us) her name.
    And what was it that got God’s attention? What did she do that caused him to kill her?
    She looked back at the place she had lived all her life. She looked back as her family, friends, and neighbors were being smashed and burned to death by God. She looked back.
    But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. Genesis 19.26
    And, of course, the angel told her not to. 
    The angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters ... When they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee. 19.15-17
    Or did he?
    Who was the angel talking to here? To Lot alone or to him and his family? And if it was to Lot alone, did Lot tell his wife? Would it matter to God if no one bothered to tell her? Would he kill her anyway?
    Who knows? Or cares? A God who would kill a woman for looking back as everyone she has ever known is being burned to death is a monster God. An arbitrary, random killer.
    I have met Christians who ignore this story, as they ignore pretty much everything in the Old Testament. They sometimes call themselves “Red Letter Christians,” meaning that they base their beliefs on the words of Jesus.
    But Jesus believed in the story about Sodom and Gomorrah; he believed in the story about Lot’s wife. He saw nothing wrong with any of it. In fact, he said that when he returns at the end of the world it will be just like that. You can check for yourself in your Red Letter Bible.
    As it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into
