RE: Responding to "Homosexuality is wrong, the same way incest is wrong"

I guess I should state my point more clearly. I am not for outlawing incest, if the choice is freely made amongst consenting adults.
I will retract my statement about inbreeding, as I don't know enough about the genetics to have an informed opinion. I will admit my bias against inbreeding. My emotional reaction is that it should be illegal, but that's all I have. If there is not a real risk of harm to offspring, then really there isn't much of an argument to be made.
It's hard to kick that emotional reaction aside.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
