Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~Can you name any serious non-Biblical reason they aren’t just as normal as any other consensual sexual relationship?
~The sex part already is, as a matter of fact. It’s only marriage that’s sometimes prohibited.
~Abraham and Sarah were half-siblings.
~Jacob married his first cousins, Rachel and Leah.
~Cain and Seth married their sisters.
~FDR, Albert Einstein, Muhammed, Rudy Giuliani, and Charles Darwin all married close cousins.
~The genetic dangers are extremely small.
~You can’t control whom you love.
~Sex is private.
~What could be better than bringing such a close family relationship to the next level.
