Two consenting adults, including relatives?

RE: Two consenting adults, including relatives?
I'm not really sure what section this would best be in.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

I don't have any problem with consensual sex of any kind among adults.

I've never heard that it's illegal anywhere in the US. Just that the marriage part isn't legal much like how homosexual marriage isn't legal in most places; that still doesn't ban two gay guys from living with each other long term.

oops... sorry about that. Hit the Post button too soon...

I did a bit of research and you are, I think, correct. It isn't illegal. There ARE some "zoning laws" covering "single family residences" that blur the issue... but so far, I think you are correct.

Should we include relatives under that as well. Most people are against brothers and sisters making love because it's inbreeding, but not all marriages are for making babies. Does anyone think it will come to that?

I guess the topic of polygamy could come up too, which many christians are against for some odd reason. Most people who were married in the bible were polygamists, after all.

Several types of marriage law unfairly discriminate against people who just want to "get married".

*consanguinity
*citizenship/visa requirements
*committed intent/fidelity
*age
*cooling off period (advance notice)
*gender stipulations
*bigamy prohibitions
*zoophilia prohibitions

Why do the Equal Love activists demand that people have to love each other in order to meet the threshold? They are in effect, discriminating against people who want to get married for a whole host of other reasons.

There's a stigma attached to bestiality. But if a man and his goat 'wife' were able to hold up a "Legally Married" certificate, it would help break down those disgusting social barriers of bigotry and intolerance.

Croatians vote to ban gay marriage.

Ferchrissakes, Lion. Goats CAN'T CONSENT. There is much to discuss here that is socially relevant and interesting, but man-goat marriage is not one of them. You're smarter than this BS.

And neither can children.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
