Quote - And as for Xeno's comment about "popular amorality" having been tried before, when he is right, he is right. As I recall, Lot slept with his daughters, and the Bible makes it clear that God considered Lot to be a righteous man ...

I don't quite follow your intended connection here -- a more appropriate metaphor would derive from the fate of the Vale of Siddim -- from which Lot and his daughters had escaped.  BTW - Lot was essentially drugged by his daughters.  At the time, he was unaware of what was happening to him.  In other words: the result wasn't from a voluntary act on Lot's part.  And as for the daughter's part: at the time, they'd just witnessed the total destruction of what, to them, was the entire world.  After which they found themselves living alone in a desolate cave in the wilderness.  So the girls most likely actually believed that they were doing something good.....perhaps even (so they thought) necessary.  So it all follows.

But once again:  the story of Lot and his daughters vs. the effects of current "popular amorality" ties in to the cultural debate in ways that I doubt that you'd anticipate in advance -- or likely appreciate.
