Why wasn't Lot condemned for giving his daughters to be abused by the men of Sodom (Genesis 19:8)? The Bible actually calls him righteous (2 Peter 2:7)!

According to the Oriental code,it was a host's responsibility to protect the guests in his home,defending them even to the point of death if necessary.Lot was prepared to do that.He bravely went out to the mob,closed the door behind him,and faced them alone.By the time he offered his daughters,Lot likely realized that his guests were messengers from God,and he may have reasoned that God could protect his daughters as He had protected his aunt Sarah in Egypt.(Gen.12:17-20).As the matter turned out,Lot and his daughters were kept safe.

why would he be? if anything they raped HIM.
remember the story is that they got him so drunk he couldn't see straight, then hussied up and came onto him. (because they thought they were the last ones alive in the world... or something like that)
I mean its not like he knew what he was doing at the time.

It was a culture of perverts at the time. They were future Republicans.
Disgusting.

You're asking the wrong person. It is allegorical fiction, DUH! Did the 3 bears eat Goldilocks because she was sleeping in one of their beds, or because she ate their food? Inquiring minds want to know.
