Because I find that a little sick.

No it does not.
In fact the opposite is true. Just because something is in the Bible, does not make it okay. The Bible shows the reality of human nature: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The story of Lot's daughters is a cautionary tale, by the way. The offspring of Lot's daughters were Israel's enemies. Hardly the stuff of emulation.
The Law of Moses clearly tells us that it is forbidden. In Leviticus, it even tells us that it is wrong to have relations with a daughter-in-law, even though they aren't blood relatives.
Further, Paul is clear about inter-family relations, "It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, and of a kind that is not found even among the Gentiles. A man is actually living with his father's wife!" (I Corinthians 5:1)
Paul has this guy put out of the church until he confesses and repents to the church.
No, there is no place where sexual relations within the family is advocated. None. Period.

The Bible is a book of many experiences, both good and bad. It does not say that everything in there that happened is good. And anyone who is trying to claim that the "Lot and his daughters" experience didn't happen can go pick up their Bible - its in the latter part of Genesis chapter 19.
This is why the Bible also says that you shouldn't get drunk...
The bible doesn't ever say that this was "good in the eyes of God" or anything. It's a historical fact for Lot - he just didn't have good women in his life. So the question is "can a man have sex with his daughters?" obviously, sickeningly to think of - physically it is possible. Does the Bible condone such actions? No.

Yes it does. Lot offered his daughter up to angels and the village to be raped. Then when they fled his town, they had sex with their father and bore him two sons. Yet he was still seen as a good man in the bible. The bible also says a father can sell his daughter off into slavery for his own profit and that she can never go free from it. Whatever happened to the term daddy's girl? I guess christian fathers don't love their daughters very much.

Not to the best of my knowledge. There are several places in the Bible that condemn incest. Leviticus 18:6-18, 20:11,12, 17, 19-21 for example. The most famous example of incent in the Bible appears to be that of Lot and his two daughters. Out of desperation and fear that they would never marry, they got him drunk and had sex with him for the express purpose of continuing the family line. We often make the wrong decisions when we are desperate. I hope this answers your question.

leviticus 18:6 says "None of you shall come near anyone of his own flesh to uncover nakedness: I am the L-rd." this is a clear prohibition against having sex with your daughter. there are cases earlier in the bible in which incest is committed, but they are stories objectively describing an event, and are not endorsements saying that a person should do what they did.

I agree with Flu Fighter, but I go further. I don't believe Lot's daughters did that. A MUCH more likely scenario is Lot (who just a few passages up had offered to let his daughters be gang raped by an angry mob) molested them himself. The story was changed to retain the impression of his "virtue".

Lot was not exactly "just and righteous". they thought they were the only ones left in the world. it does not say this was good, it just says it happened (it says it was bad). and Reuben sleeping with his father's concubine is not as bad (it wasn't his mother or even step mother) these were lot's actual children. but like i said before this wasn't said to be a good thing (and the eldest daughter named her child moab which means from my father- she publicized this child was from her father and the second did not so god commanded us that we cannot provoke war with(the nation of) moab and we cant provoke (the nation of) amon at all (which was the second daughters son). i just learned this (and had a test on it that i most likely got a bad grade on)

All things recorded in the Bible are not acceptable behavior by God. Can you believe how "sick" people have been if Lot's family was the only family God wanted to save. Lot loved God, but he was not exactly doing what God asks him to do..but he left the town when God asked..so he got saved..wife did not obey rules and did not make it.

Bible there is an incident that a man slept with his own daughter-in-law....by mistake ...without knowing that she is her own daughter in law ....But Bible never says that a man can have sex with his own daughter...read the 10 commandments.

No way. See Leviticus 18:1-30 for Forbidden Sexual Practices. Even if incest happend in the Bible, it doesnt mean that God approved. Hope this answers your question.
