no it's not incest. Not by a long chalk. It is perfectly legal even for first cousins to marry and have children, let alone 7th cousins.

I was a product of incest. I was told that God hated me for it and many evil things happen with incest. I prayed to the creator and said the sinner's prayer. I just hope that I AM FORGIVEN FOR ALL OF MY SINS.

Not even in the neighborhood of incest.
Inceset is direct blood relative. Mother, father, son, daughter, sister, brother, grandfather, grandmother, etc. 1st cousins are illegal in some jurisdictions. 2nd cousins are legal in virtually all jurisdictions.
Even if you were a product of incest, it could NOT be YOUR sin.

Even if they did know, it is still NOT incest. Incest (at least in terms of the Bible) occurs when it is immediate family (as in first and perhaps second cousins) not 7th. Proof of this is found in the old testament in Leviticus chapter 18.

7th cousin, wow No your not incested. Only way you could be incested, is if your mother had sex with her father, not only would you be your mothers sister,or brother you would also be your grandfathers daughter, or son. Thats how incest works.

to be honest, if we all go by the adam and eve model, then we are all committing incest. but that's far enough to not really count. and besides its not like the incest of European royalty, now that's something to think about.

No, if that was the case then almost everybody would be the product of incest.

No you are not the product of incest. You are perfectly fine.

I don't think it really counts at that point anymore. It would be a totally different story if they found out they were long lost brothers and sisters or something, but cousins that far down the line really don't count.

As far as i know anything past 3rd cousins is legally ok how many people even know who their 7th cousins are. I'm sure there is a lot of 7th cousins getting married
