"None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD." Leviticus 18:6. he said it, not me. But then He goes on to specify just what that means, and cousin is not classified as "near of kin" Actually, it's legal in many states, as well as Japan, the Middle East and most of Europe. so are same sex civil unions, pal. You don't get it, when NinjaNaco likes doing it then it's not a sin anymore. So, I guess we need to turn him gay and we could solve one of the world's arguments

Still, why?! Oh, whatever. Your arguements seem to hint that you wanted to be a smug know-it-all (who has his facts wrong) just by posting the thing, and this perverted image is really not worth the time I'm giving it. Reading motives into other people's actions? Who's the know-it-all now? Actually, I refrained from posting the link to the pic's deviantART page because I gave a long spiel on what I think about cousin marriage (and, by extension, cousins dating) because I didn't want this thread to become filled with flames and arguments about the pros and cons of such things. But, since it's become that anyway... Also, if you're going to claim that someone has their facts wrong, please offer proof that that is the case, rather than just stating so as if your word is law. She meant in real terms, like if you had a choice between a female cousin and a non-related female. Just as Tim does, You mean you think " he meant in real terms." Her actual post, in my opinion, was ambiguous.
In the case of "between a female cousin and a non-related female," it would depend on the kinds of people the two women were. If I did marry my cousin, it would be because she was the right woman for me who happened to be my cousin, rather than because she was my cousin. Also, if I was in love with a cousin, I wouldn't make any moves on her unless I was pretty sure she was open to the possibility of having a romantic relationship with me.
Which is all well and good, but I find it funny that inbreeding is okay in your book. People who are related can date/marry if they find themselves attracted to each other, but it's wrong if two men do this, or two women. According to The Bible, as hannah quoted earlier, both things are considered wrong in God's eyes; family is family, regardless of distance. You can believe what you want, but you are contradicting yourself by saying one perverse marriage is right, and another is wrong. But Fusion said it best! ;D

I don't know how I'm going to be able to sleep at night knowing there is an incestuous picture of two fictional animated characters on the internet.

People who are related can date/marry if they find themselves attracted to each other, but it's wrong if two men do this, or two women. According to The Bible, as hannah quoted earlier, both things are considered wrong in God's eyes; family is family, regardless of distance. You obviously haven't read the Bible well enough. It does say "near of kin/close blood/etc." (Leviticus 18:6) but then it goes on to specify just what that means: Your mother (18:7-8) Your father's wife (18:8) Your sister, whether she's your dad or your mom's (18:9) Your granddaughter (18:10) Your daughter (18:11) Your aunt (18:12-14) Your brother's wife (18:16) Your stepdaughter (18:17) Your wife's sister (while your wife is still living) (18:18) The text then goes on to talk about homosexuality, not having sex with a woman during her period, and other such things. In listing just what it means to be too "close of kin" for romance/marriage/intercouse, cousins are not mentioned. Ergo the Bible is OK with cousin marriage. So, it is not a contradiction for me to approve of cousin marriage, but not homosexuality. No, I am not. See above. Great, now we're endorsing flaming other people.

Just because the Bible doesn't mention it in exact words doesn't make it right. *prays Serge locks the thread, or at least derails it with IMGs and quotes* Well, you posted this thing...

I would request this topic be locked, as Serge is ruining it with Michael Jackson pics... (And we can all agree that he's creepier than Tim/Joss, right?) Wha-? Just because the Bible doesn't mention it in exact words doesn't make it right. It does mean I'm not a hypocrite. That's not the same as insulting someone.

You could simply delete it from your post... And Funkyfist, Hannah, FusionFox ... your behavior in this thread has been extremely immature. You remind of all the guys who used to tease me in middle school, and that's not a compliment. So if you can't say anything mature, please don't say anything at all.

Hey, I was trying to make everything happy again by posting someone with a happy expression and balloons. Don't have to assume wrong-doing just because you don't like him. :C It was nothing against you personally, gosh.
And I didn't see teasing, I saw disagreeing? Oh shucks.
You posted something people don't agree with and people have a right to reply, just like you do so yourself when other people post things you don't agree with.
It's how the world rolls, babeh.

There's a difference between "diagreeing with someone" and "mocking someone's viewpoint." the people I mentioned above did the latter.

Well said, Serge. I was simply stating my opinion when the picture and its content. Nobody is trying to personally attack you, NN. I would request this topic be locked, as Serge is ruining it with Michael Jackson pics... (And we can all agree that he's creepier than Tim/Joss, right?) So close. But nah, Tim/Joss (Toss? Jim?) still wins. Well, I think posting an image such as this is kinda asking for it. As I said, no one is trying to pick on you, but simply saying that they don't like the ship. You can like it all you want, but don't try to convince people they're wrong and then call them out for making fun of you. It's almost the social equel of throwing things at a lion, and when the creature attacks you, you claim it was unprovoked.

There's a difference between "diagreeing with someone" and "mocking someone's viewpoint." the people I mentioned above did the latter. Sometimes disagreeing sounds like mocking because the person is disagreeing with you, which is what could be taken as saying you're wrong, which then leads to the assumption of mocking because you think that that wrong is right. Some people just have different approaches to 'debate' to try to get the other person to think again and try to understand how it looks to the other side, which can also be taken as "mocking." Well, it made sense in my head before I typed it out. [Edit] And Funky's picture is just meant to be semi-relatedly funny - you weren't talking about siblings, anyway, so I don't think it applies to being a mock of you, but to lighten the mood.
