The bible is one of the most mysoginistic documents I've read, particularly the old testament.  I dedicated a summer to reading cover to cover and I had to put down the book in some section of Old Testament and come back later.

Ancient societies were based on physical power and women were virtual slaves.   While I'm sure their were loving and respectful marriages, there were also arranged marriages and women bought and sold as chattel and treated as 'prize' for the victors in war.   

I believe God still sees us a children with a limited knowledge of the universe.    I don't think we are 'designed' to stay in ancient times physically, emotionally or intellectually.     That does not threaten Me at all, it just means we a still 'in process'.....

Here's your trivia, What did LOT offer to the crowd that threatened his male guest?

I look for the spirit of the bible.   If it is a timeless document, then we can't take it literally based on a culture that no longer exist.
That's my choice.
