my recommendation is to cruise over to one of mickiel's award winning threads and do some light reading. somehow that guy can put all the idiots of the world into perspective for me.

he just started a new one about Romance being proof of god. it's in 'general'. and it's always nice to get into his threads toward the beginning so you can watch the overall decay of thought. enjoy with caution. i would strongly urge you not to reply to him at first, then it goes from being entertained to pulling clumps of hair out of your head to keep from screaming.

Thanks for not reading any part of the thread before commenting... do you really think that argument hasn't been brought up like hundreds of times in this thread.

"through your own reasoning that people with Huntington's disease shouldn't be able to have sex much less marry with ANYONE. As any children they have would automatically have [an increased chance of genetic defects]... namely Huntington's."

Yeah, I'm really going to spend an hour or two reading every post in 17+ pages in this thread.

Never said reading every post... but you didn't read any.

But thanks for not addressing my rebuttal

I don't know how reliable this is but I found this article

Incest/Inbreeding Taboos - Sibling Marriage And Human Isolates - Family, Marriages, Sister, Population, Samaritans, Communities, and Siblings

It is evident that full sibling marriages accounted for 15 to 21 percent of all unions. When considering how many sibling marriages were demographically possible and socially acceptable (i.e., some families would not have children with siblings of the opposite sex that survived to marriageable age; or have children with opposite sexed siblings; or have children with siblings with the customary age differences—Egyptian marriages conventionally occurred between an older man and younger woman), we find that almost all possible brother-sister marriages were, in fact, contracted. This strongly suggests that sibling marriages were not only common but the preferred norm.

intellectual apathy? really?
why would you enter the debate if you didn't know for sure that you were bringing something new and unique to the discussion why would you even participate?
