Well, if you enjoy being an obsessed neurotic, I guess it's your business.

Because righteousness, wisdom, and intellect do not necessarily go hand-in-hand.
Samson doesn't seem particularly bright (to me, at least) and he certainly isn't wise--but he was chosen by God nonetheless. Solomon was wise, and he was chosen by God, but he later turned from righteousness into idolatry.

You just called an atheist who dislikes many of the teachings of Paul a Paul-worshiper. Tell me, do you wake up in the morning and say, "Today, I'm going to make an idiot of myself," or does it just sort of happen?

It is worth considering that Lot's daughters indicated a certain level of desperation for men. You know, they did give their dad strong wine one night, with the sole intent of sleeping with him. Maybe Lot's daughters were a bit more horny towards the mob then the 3 holy men.
Just a thought. Here is another one:
Not all Christian religions believe that Lot actually offered his daughters to the mob...some say that was a mistake of the Bible. For example, Mormons believe that the Bible was completely accurate in it's original text, but was subject to mistakes during translation. There are 30 places in the Old Testament that Joseph Smith "translated", although there are presumably more that need translation. Anyway, they usually make more sense, whether you are Mormon or not. http://scriptures.lds.org/en/jst/7

Personally, I also fully believe that the Bible is the word of God. But I think their are slight mistakes. For example Jesus wasn't the son of God...in fact, he didn't exist at all...that was a typo during translation. Also the garden of eden and the creation, little mistake happened, they actually meant to describe the big bang and evolution, without any interference of God.
