Confusion

Today's reading was really confusing for me. I kept pausing and going back to remeber was happened. But I just want to read the Bible, not study it (as it says in the list of suggestions), for now. Like I was confused on Sodom and Gomorrah. Was it one city or two. Some passages seemed to say one, while some said two. Now that I've finally read that story for myself, I know that they weren't destroyed because of homosexuality. More like rape! I also noticed that in all those long lists of genealogies, only the males are listed. Weren't females not important back then? I also noticed that God mostly talked to people through angels. I think maybe a couple of men talked to God personally, but for everyone else intermediates (angels) were used. What was up with that? Oh, and these readings have the wierdest endings! :)
