Not really. Abraham interceded on behalf of Sodom and Gomorrah after three angels visited him. God then reveals that he was going to destroy the cities for their wickedness. Abraham asked God to spare the cities if he could find 50 righteous people and does eventually barters God down to 10. God agrees to Abraham's request, so two of the angels go the cities to look for righteous people and are received by Abraham's nephew, Lot. Lot doesn't know they are angels until after a mob tries to batter his door down to get to the men and presumably rape them. The angels save Lot by blinding the mob and and tell Lot what is going on and that he should lam it with his family. With not even 10 righteous people to be had, God rains burning fire down. Wifey turns into a pillar of Nackle and later Lot's daughters get him drunk and have some incest fun so they can get knocked up and continue the family line.
I'm still not sure why the old testament was considered okay for me to read as a child.
