Hansel: How would that go if he explained it to the cops? "Oh, but officer, I had been drinking!"

I vote for Lot, hands down. Or I would if I believed in sin, anyhow.

Thats a hard question. I mean they wife could always say she was brain washed (which yes is over used) I would say a sin is a sin. This is all up to god to decided though if I were the all mighty I would say to hell with both of them.

Sin is sin, no sin is greater than any other sin. Lot's wife disobeyed a direct order (kinda like Adam and Eve) and Lot's daughters got him drunk to order to "lie" with him because they were in hiding and were afraid they would never see another man who would give them children (lack of faith). Lot really didn't sin, unless you count allowing his daughters to get him stone cold drunk, apparently he didn't even realize what was going on.

Good question. All sin is equally bad. ( The wages of sin is death.) But, with repentance all sin can be forgiven. She looked back after being given explicit direction not to because she had grown to LOVE the sin and the place.

Lot. Par none.
And to anticipate your next question: I don't know why she was turned to a pillar of salt and he wasn't but it's clear that his was worse because the fruit of his...um, sin... plagued the earth for centuries.

bigger sin...

Well, technically, he was totally smashed so he can't be held accountable for his actions. I'd say his DAUGHTERS committed the greater sin by KNOWINGLY and PURPOSEFULLY getting him drunk and having baby-making sex with him.

Nobody gets that drunk. Lot was a pervert.
That whole story always sounded fishy to me. How many daughters decided to get there dad drunk to sleep with him? Not too many, I am willing to bet. On the other hand, how many pedophiles blame the victum for their actions? A whole bunch of them!

Lot's wife sinned against God; she disobeyed an order that was meant for her own protection. In the grand scheme of things (God's perfect "scheme", or plan), this was worse. Yes, Lot and his daughters messed up badly. Very badly. But to defy God is worse.

Lot, and Abraham (even though you didn't ask) Who are these crazy people and why should they be held in anything but the lowest regard? Kill your child for a ram? Have sex...?
jeesh- too creepy
