The Evangelicals have addressed this.
David had Bathsheba's husband killed; Noah was a drunk; Lot had sex with his daughters. All were holy men, chosen by the Almighty to perform great deeds for the faith.
Sometimes the Lord chooses broken vessels.
This isn't satire, it's how they explain it.

Apologetics is an amazing thing! You'll never guess how that one thing doesn't mean what you think it means, and I'm the sole authority to tell you why!
Yeah, self made man Obama who never looked at another woman after he married is a tool of Satan, and the guy who embodies all Seven Deadly Sins is the finest man alive.
Imagine the year is 2012. Many Christians are taking their views door to door, urging you to vote for the Christian candidate, Mr. Mormon Mitt Romney, and not the Muslim, professing Christian Barack Obama. One of them goes to church. The other got married in ceremonial underwear. But one is black and the other is white.
Someone said that they think the Mayans were right and the world did end in 2012. It's just sputtering along on momentum.
Lot was raped by his daughters in his sleep. And he was devastated and enraged when he found out.
wasn't he drunk as fuck ?! in his sleep is that even possible ?
Compared to everything else that happens in these stories?
Lot had a particular set of skills, being absolutely wasted in his sleep was one of them.
Oedipus blinded himself after he found out he'd slept with his mother.
That's devasted.
I wish we didn't have to make the same brain-dead decisions. I surely don't respect it any.
Muslims take the approach of denying these stories and holding prophets to be infallible
