Sodom and Gomorrah-Will Atkins

There was once a man named Lot. One day he was approached by two angels on the outskirts of the city. He insisted they stay in his servants house but the requested to stay in his house so Lot allowed them to do so. Once there, horny men came to Lot's house demanding to have sex with the male angels. Lot wanted to protect God's messengers so he offered his two virgin daughters instead. The angry men denied his alternative and tried to force their way into the house. The angels stopped Lot and told him to get his family out of town. He told his future son in laws what was happening but they did not believe him and just laughed it off. So he tried to get his wife and daughters out of town. While running though his wife looked back and was subsequently turned to salt. 

Later, while living in a cave with their father. The two daughters thought about how they were going to continue their. lineage. They did this by getting their father drunk and sleeping with him in order to get pregnant.

Unfair punishment is a tricky issue. One person cannot say what is fair or unfair for everybody. Fair for one person very well may be unfair for someone else. This is why when talking about judges giving out jail sentences different punishments will be given out for the same crime.
