Gov. Shutdown?

Coincidentally, I just watched this video yesterday regarding the same topic.



The further our nation drifts from God the more things seem to fall to pieces. The Golden Rule can only go so far in regards to morality. During the fight for gay marriage last year everyone kept saying that if you love each other, why shouldn’t you be able to get married? That seemed hard to refute without bringing up religion. But if that's the case, what argument could one have against incest, pedophilia, or polygamy? I'm sure one day people the people in California will get those wheels rolling as well. Let the moral drift continue...

Children cannot consent; that is how gay marriage is different from pedophilia. In theory, I don't see anything wrong with polygamy. Many religions have long accepted polygamy. The problem with polygamy is actually the religious component that's usually involved. Women (or girls) are often pressured by their families and religious communities to enter polygamous marriages or face excommunication and ostracism. With incest, the concern is the increased chance of genetic abnormalities; although, it's been debated whether the increases are significant.
