about having kids its rubbish that there will be greater genetic abnormalitys than other couples, unless there is a family history of such diseases. charles darwin says there is nothing wrong with it and he did marry his cousin as did albert einstien

Charles Darwin & Emma Wedgewood: A Cousin Couple
"When the principles of breeding and of inheritance are better understood, we shall not hear ignorant members of our legislature rejecting with scorn a plan for ascertaining by an easy method whether or not consanguineous marriages are injurious to man."

as for the bible
Isaac married Rebekkah, his first cousin once removed. Genesis24:12-51
Jacob married two of his cousins , Rachel & Leah. I love this story! Genesis chapters 28-29)
Zelophehad's five orphaned daughters were commanded by God to marry cousins. Numbers 36
Eleazar's daughters each married first cousins, as they were instructed. I Chronicles 23:22
In the 18th chapter of Leviticus, the Bible provides a lengthy list of forbidden relationships. These laws are the scriptural definition of sexual impurity. Not one mention of cousins, of any degree, is made.
the New Testament does not specifically address the rules of sexual misconduct, with the exception of fornication, other than to refer
Biblical prohibitions of cousin marriage reside only in the minds of the unlearned. In fact, the Catholic Dictionary finds that Christ's parents-- Joseph & Mary-- were cousins.

the persons in Bible circumstances also married their brothers or sisters and different "incest is merely excellent" such issues as that. there are a variety of of factors in the Bible which at the instant are not culturally ideal at present. which contain women human beings not being allowed to talk or fairly have any rights. Stoning human beings to lack of existence. you word what I advise? save far out of your cousins, browski! it really is gross!

Well society would think its morally wrong but if you feel its right then go for it.Although if it continues through generations there is a risk of genetic abnormalities.An example would be the royal families years ago with everybody marrying cousins.

i guess i see your point but it is to early for me to read the bible this morning.. but i really cared for one of my cousins but i would not even think about doing anything because i knew in my heart he was my cousin... i think there could be something wrong with the children like inbreed...but if you feel it is right well i would ask your doctor and you minister before i did such a thing.. actually i would not do it because i feel it is still wrong...

erm thats just wrong, where i come from we call that INCEST!
ok i dont mean to be funny but the bible doesnt happen to be based on science and as for einstein and darwin they may have been geniuses but they didnt have the technology to study genetics to the extent people can now...if you had modern evidence i might be more conviced
but to be honest just because it is physically ok doesnt make it MORALLY ok anyway!

you CAN give birth to abnormal kids.Give as many excuses as you want cause any poor excuse is better than no excuse.
