Genesis 19
Lot's daughters are two people in the Hebrew Bible. Their names are not given. They are mentioned in Genesis 19, while Lot and his family are in Sodom. Two angels arrive in Sodom, and Lot shows them hospitality. However, the men of the city gather around Lot's house and demand that he give them the two guests so they could rape them. In response, Lot offers the mob his two daughters instead, noting that they are virgins (verse 19:8).

in the Bible, that didn't make sense.

I did this as a kid when I went with my friend to his Sunday Bible study class.

The only answer I got was "because it says so."

Umm.... ok. Whatever. I'm out.

People don't seem to wonder about that, for some reason.

5. Living proof that hatred makes people stupid

My first reaction is to laugh at such an idiotic statement. HRC is a committed Christian, who has lived the teachings of Jesus to feed the poor and heal the sick for many years. What's tragic is that people like Bachmann have no clue about how very very ignorant they are. Bachmann needs to open her red letter Bible, and do what Jesus says:

Matthew 7:3

Do not judge lest you be judged. 2 For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

..."revelations" about Trump's perverted predelictions, this rings particularly hollow.

She ain't called Batshit Bachmann for nothing.
