Every other sexual perversion that two consenting adults take part in seems to be accepted and embraced in this country; why is incest so much less tolerable?

In some cultures, the term cousin and mate are synonymous.
Albert Einstein married his first cousin. And so did Charles Darwin, who had exceptional children.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the longest serving US president in history married his cousin (not a first cousin, however they shared the same last name).
Leviticus 18 lists all forbidden sexual relationships. Cousin relationships are not included.
God commanded many cousins to marry, including Zelophehad's 5 daughters, Eleazar's daughters, Jacob (who married both Rachel and Leah, first cousins), and Isaac and Rebekkah (first cousins once removed)
before the age of consent it doesn't matter who, it is wrong. if they are both consenting adults then they are responsible for there actions and it doesn't matter how taboo it is.
Personal opinion
(By blood not marriage)
grandparent + grandchild = wrong
parent + child = wrong
Siblings = wrong
everything else = not wrong (not endorsing any behavior)

It crosses the line, it cannot be compaired to all the other "sexual perversions" that happen behind close doors. It is twisted, and I am sure people do it just the same. I think it is unfortunate that boundies won't made at a young age for those who take part in it. I also think that having sex with a relative is just one of those things that will always be unacceptable.

The problem with incest (Other than being morally repulsive to 99% of all people) is the genetic offspring will have deformitys.
In other words, incest will make retarded children.

Because if if incest leads to a child, the child could be deformed

If it's consentual then I don't see a problem with it. Personally I would never do it, but the way I see it, to each his own

It is wrong to say it no longer matters... God's Word and His commandments do not change.
