The mind actually imprints on those around them as it’s growing up to prevent one from becoming attracted to our family, this is why most people are incapable of thinking about their family sexually. The Westermarck effect as it’s known shows that the taboo is actually rooted in biology.

Well ok but as you say, it is most people and lets say that it is two siblings who has never seen each other in their whole life until they are adults and then marry, epic drama style. But I am not surprised if it is like you say, not at all, but I still thinks it is also a bit of culture in this. The sister of Alexander the Great was married with their uncle and the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt sometimes married with their sister as a way to preserve the power in their family. So relationships like that are not unknown in history and I think that people did not mind either in those cases, I have at least not seen anything which indicate that.

Lets analyze it through the principle of double effect
  1. the nature of the act is itself good, or at least morally neutral;
  2. the agent intends the good effect and not the bad either as a means to the good or as an end itself;
  3. the good effect outweighs the bad effect in circumstances sufficiently grave to justify causing the bad effect and the agent exercises due diligence to minimize the harm.
  4. Shaky ground
  5. pass
  6. Far more harm than good would result
    ergo it is impermissible
Siblings or parent and child is one thing, the niece/uncle, nephew/aunt or cousins is something else, the former is clearly reprehensible while the latter is not necessarily wrong (hence how one can hypothetically get a dispensation for the latter)

The fact is, I have no problem with two consenting adults who love each other getting married.

Do these two consenting adults necessarily need to be “in love”? Couldn’t they just get married for the sex?

What’s your point? People get married for money. Where’s the outrage?
 
mark_a said:
It was a question, not a point.

You seemed to suggest that the two getting married should love each other.

I suppose I did say “love.” Still, if two people who hate each other want to have monogamous sex, I suppose that’s OK too.

Heck, my parents haven’t liked each other in years. 😉
 
If one believes in Creationism and Adam & Eve, and is opposed to Evolution, then one must realize there had to be incest involved. One might question why it was allowed beginning with the 2nd generation.

But didn’t you say earlier that polygamy is ok?

Mark, if you are trying to bait into an argument, let’s just come out with it. I did say that I didn’t have a real problem with polygamy, correct.

No, no, not at all.

I read your posts with interest and sought clarification.

Man, sorry Mark. I’ve been so touchy lately. Maybe I’m trying bait people into arguments…

I think I need a break for CAF for a little bit.

Again, sorry.
 
I don’t think you you’d find many psychologists who would consider incest harmless.As Dakota Roberts pointed out our brains are hardwired to bond with parents and siblings in a manner different from the bonding in a romantic/sexual relationship. If the two become confused a real danger of the disintegration of the personality is possible. This isn’t just a cultural taboo.
 
African Christians (the ones in Africa mind you) practice polygamy…

The Bible doesn’t condemn it really; the Church does because their stuck in a western mindset… Jacob Zuma protestant president of South Africa has 5 wives…

Solomon had a 1,000 wives… David had a bunch of wives too…
 
Polygamy tends to die out wherever the status of women increases. It has always been forbidden by Christianity from Christ’s time, but was not prohibited by the OT. Which raises a question I can’t answer and that is When did Judaism prohibit it? Is it in the Talmud? I’m sure it is prohibited by Jews, but I don’t know when the prohibition, which must be very old, began.
