Is Incest Immoral?
April 1, 2008 by chillinatthecabstand
A little while ago, some Christian made a post trying to show that atheists are sexual bigots because there haven’t been any big campaigns to legalize incest. His point was that we are as bigoted against incest as Christians are against homosexuality.
I made three separate comments on how I have no objection to consensual incest between adults, and he eventually acknowledged my point of view.
Now, since I’m sure some athiests are against incest, let’s discuss this - is incest immoral?
I say no because, quite simply, it is consesual sex between two adults, and that’s really all that matters to me. That the two are consenting and that they be adults (or two teens, but no mix of the two like 1 teen/1 adult since that constitutes rape) is all that matters, whatever you wanna do beyond that, hell, do it!
Whatever turns you on, nah mean?
I see the only real objection someone could have to incest is that it’s kind of disgusting, but that’s how Christians see homosexuality, so you need to get over that, or you just might be bigoted.
Or you could say something about how it could mess with a family’s relationship, but, again, if it’s consensual…
Well, that’s my thoughts. Legalize consensual incest, support sexual freedom.
Regardless how one views incest wouldn’t it make more sense to pause first and question the Christian about the applicability of his analogy? His question clearly seems to imply that Christians have no problem with, dare I say condone, incest.
If you want my opinion, and of course you do, he might have presented a better comparison by using pedophilia instead of incest. I’m just saying.
Then again, this could just be a joke. One never knows eh?
Super J.
“and of course you do”
>>lol
No, I don’t think it would have made more sense to ask them if Christians condone it because I think his point may have implied that Christians can be as bigoted as they want since they are openly bigoted. He has just trying to point at atheist hypocrisy.
