Because virtually no incestuous relationship can be considered anything but abusive in some manner shape or form. Then there is the issue of how problematic the genetics involved would be. Thereâs a lot of very secular reasons why incestuous marriages would be problematic. Just look at the royal families of Europe up until fairly recently.
âIf you expand the definition of marriage to two men and two women, why stop there?â Jeffress said. âIf itâs an absolute constitutional right, why canât 16-year-olds get married? Why canât polygamists get married? Why canât siblings get married? Where do you stop? It opens up a Pandoraâs box of societal-wide chaos.â
Isnât it amazing that the only people who come up with these kinds of perverse scenarios are the ones who claim to be opposed to them?
Projection is a very revealing thing.
Oh, those zany Baptists!
Until these goons understand and accept the basic precepts that under gird civil society, there is no hope convincing them. But they live by their interpretations of a book written before mankind understood why it rains.
If we allow a man to marry a woman, why not a brother and a sister? See how that game is played, twit?
If a man can divorce his wife, why canât he also kill her?
The old slippery slope argument, and of course the implicit message is the slope isnât slippery if it includes my group, but it gets really slippery for anything just beyond where Iâm standing.
Donât these fools ever stop and think that heterosexual marriage is allowed, yet we donât have hoards of mothers marrying sons and fathers marrying daughters, brothers marrying sisters. In the rare case it happens, it is seen as a one-off issue, not as a leverage point to collapse the entire enterprise.
Because the community is responsible for stoning her to death, thatâs why.
Why is it conservatives automatically go to incest or pedopheilia any time they talk about non-jesus-approved sex? Seems thereâs some repressed desires theyâre attempting to hide.
âIf you expand the definition of food to tubular pieces of chopped and pureed animal parts and call it a âdog,â why stop there? Whatâs to keep people from putting dog excrement in a bun?"
Notice that these are the EXACT same arguments used against interracial marriage in the 1960âs. These religious zealots cannot fathom the fact that society has moved beyond their Iron Age holy book, and that is what is driving their anti-gay zealotry.
Well suck it up Christians. Society has evolved.
Are we really expanding the definition to two men AND two women? Is there a word for that 4-way relationship? If not, we need one.
When is it open season on annoying lie-spreading bigots who never shut the fuck up? Been a long winter here, I want to get out and bag a few while theyâre numerous.
If we allow men to marry women, whatâs to stop them from marrying their daughters!??
Same âlogicâ that only douchebags can understand!
I think the easiest way to answer this question is with another question. If we allow straights to get married, why not siblings?
The intentional grouping of homosexuality and gay marriage with incest, prostitution, polygamy, bestiality, pedophilia, rape, ⌠even murder ⌠is simply further evidence that the Republican Party is still laden with sanctimonious, socially-regressive bigots who wish to impose their own religious mores onto the rest of society.
Fox Contributor: If We Allow Gays To Get Married, Why Not Siblings?
Sounds like Sr. Pastor Jeffressâs sister should be a little nervousâŚwhy is it that right-wing âChristianâ bigots are so fixated upon their own latent incestual tenancies? How embarrassing.
Pastor Robert Jeffress: If We Allow Gays To Get Married, Why Not Siblings?
You were in âaddressing the f*cking idiots modeâ-- werenât you Pastor?

If we allow males and females to get married why not interspecies? if we allow dogs to poop in Dallas on the curb why not humans? if we eat all sorts of mammals why not deceased childrenâŚthere are a lot of arguments that can be derived from the most Christian pastorâs line of thinking.
There you go again talking rationally about some âChristianâ politicianâs ugly comparison of gay marriage to something criminal be it incest, beastiality or about whatever perverse tryst the speaker fantasizes.
