If we take issues with a bible telling a story of incest and we jump all over theists for believing in such a story, then turn around and do a complete about face and say, "well, this mother and son are consenting adults so they can do what they want", doesn't that pretty much put us in a "pot calling the kettle black" situation? We can't be okay with one situation and not okay with the other.
Because [url=http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Leviticus/18/6we are holding Christians to their own Bible.[/url] We can and should hold someone to their own moral bearings.
On the other hand, atheism has nothing to say about incest, and so an atheist who doesn't oppose it is not contradicting himself.

The laws should get thrown out because hell, gun laws don't stop criminals from using guns, so how would any of these incest laws actually prevent incest?
Silly strawman ... more evidence of an argument from emotion. Weaksauce.
No it's not. But by all means, keep reading more into it than what is there.
