Poligamy and Siblings marrying:
1: Consenting Adults
2: They are not hurting you directly
3: What they do in their private life is none of your concern
4: It would be bigoted
5: You can't prevent human beings that are commited and loving to each other from marrying
Not very moral and ethical are y'all, or at least consistent.
LOL

So ladies and gentlemen, and gays and lesbians, the horse is out of the barn, and you WILL have to give these kinds of relationships the same legal standing and two men having sex with eachother calling it a marriage.

Who said anyone opposed it, we did not put the laws against it on the books. Just because polygamy or marring my sister is not my cup of tea, you can go ahead and do it if you want to!

As opposed to your consistency which states "I believe in the Bible, therefore..."
1) I will judge you despite this going against the tenet of "judge not lest ye be judged"
2) I will murder individuals through capital punishment
3) I will cast the first stone, despite being with sin
4) I oppose slavery, but I shouldn't because it says it's OK in the Bible
5) I will allow my wife to go out into public when she's menstruating, even though the Bible says she shouldn't
6) I will play football on the Sabbath even though the Bible forbids touching a pig's skin on that day
Etc., etc., etc.
We all have our inconsistencies and our moral and ethical drawbacks. There's a reason Kant's categorical imperative is not practical. You can't apply a rule to every situation regardless of the circumstances.

Actually that does hold true for polygamy but not for incestuous relationships as the risks of genetic disorders from them are grounds for not allowing them.
But no matter what is or is not allowed as marriage it does not affect the lives of those who do not choose to practice these things.
By the way, when exactly did the christofashists get elected as morality police.

Polygamy can help to spread disease and does not indicate the loyalty and devotion necessary for marriage , Siblings who reproduce are likely to have children who are born with genetic birth defects. Civil unions between gays could potentially reduce the spread of disease, and gays are unlikely to reproduce

the problem Bgold is that the liberal judges and lawyers do try to push Kant's imperative and most of the time it is confirmed.

get over it....im a right wing conservative and there's only one major issue that i dont side with the conserves and that's the prevention of gays marrying. let them do what they want. if it bothers you then maybe you need to rethink your own sexuality!
oo wait....lol

I guess if you are ancient Egyptian, then you are right on course.
Good luck! Are you wanting to marry your cousin, sister, dad, mother?

Polygamy and sibling marriage are already illegal, yet still practiced by right wingers...

I'm not for polygamy or incest, but this is an extremely valid point.
