p.s. Look, she spelled OP. Maybe I should've opened a new topic thread for that. ;-)

Desperation. He was trying to save the city from the angels. A direct attack upon them would have ended it all right then and there. the angels struck the crowd with blindness until Lot could try to persuade others of his household to leave.
Oh see, I can't even get off it for 5 seconds. ;-)
How does offering up his daughters to be gang raped make Lot a righteous man?
Lets put you in the shoes of a faithful follower of Christ in his day. What would oyu have been willing to do in order to keep him from being crucified? What would you have been wiling to do to keep the mob from the angels?

No problem. If I were a faithful follower of Christ in his day, I would have abandoned him completely just as they did.

I think he just panicked. The angels stepped in and took care of them anyway.
