    The entire point of this story is that the daughters fall into old sins after the destruction of Sodom. They were reared in a culture of excess and sexual degeneracy and thus rely on faithless utilitarian logic to continue their family line. It’s seen as an abomination in the bible. Exposure to such things causes people to perform heinous sins. So, ironically, this passage totally supports the subject of the video.

          Just asking for source of where that is written, because if its not written down like you phrased, I can’t accept that as the background

            Here you go. He describes in even more detail Lot and his daughters addiction to the transgressive cultures (e.g. sexual perversion, violence, selfishness) of Sodom and Zoar culminating in incest with his daughters whom earlier he offered to the brutes who wished to rape and kill his visitors.

            What is your exegesis?

              This leads to a podcast site with dozens of episodes. Which one? And are they reading from an ancient text that says that or just hypothesizing. If it has a real source I’m interested.

                The episode for Genesis 19.

                Fr. Stephen De Young gives an Orthodox perspective that is informed by church fathers. There’s a lot you can dig into but this is a succinct (~1hr) explanation of the story of Lot and it’s relevance to the scripture you quoted.
