So in the story where they’re hanging out in the cave, his daughters thought they were the last people on earth and had an “obligation”
If you think this gives Lot a free pass, though, remember earlier, when the strangers (apparently angels,) were hiding in his place and the sodomites came out, he offered his own daughters to get raped instead.
Regardless, this entire affair is something that never happened.
Well, yes, back then, that was seen as a virtue. The idea was that he, as a good host, was willing to bear the cost of ensuring his guest’s well-being.
Keep in mind, this is the same setting where a farher is told to kill his son, and it’s treated as a sacrifice by the father. The patriarch is the only one who fully counts as a person.

I do know the story. Did you mean for this to be a top-level comment?
