Where in the Bible is incest described as a sin? Isn't it just one of those things Christians assume is in there because it matches their own views, like only "one man, one woman" marriages being acceptable despite the rampant condoned polygamy and concubines, and God considering the killing of humans in utero to be the crime of murder when the punishment was a mere fine in Old Testament law?
"Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don't grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."
