My predictions of the future
Jacob Harrison:
Back in the good old days when society was more Christian, homosexuality was a major taboo. Homosexual sex was seen the same way as incest, a morally reprehensible perversion.
However with a decline of Christianity, homosexual sex became accepted, and now there are same sex marriages.
Since people don’t see homosexual sex as a perversion, what’s going to stop them from not seeing incest as such? Since people stopped becoming repulsed by homosexuality, I predict in the future that people will stop being repulsed by incest and it will become accepted in society. There will be brother-sister marriages, brother-brother marriages, sister-sister marriages, mother-son marriages, mother-daughter marriages, father-daughter marriages, and father-son marriages.
This is why society needs a return to Christianity to prevent my predictions from coming true.

Because incest, when it results in pregnancy, leads to problems with recessive traits being reinforced.
Societies that accepted incest generally died off. Those that did not accept incest generally survived. (The same goes for cannibalism.) We are the descendants of people who did not accept incest.
As for banning homosexuality, that was imposed much later, with the Theodosian Code during the Christianisation of the Roman Empire. Other non-Jewish, non-Christian, non-Islamic cultures (say, India or America) were more accepting of it (and of transgender people) until the taboos against it were brought in by European colonizers.
Societies that accepted homosexuality survived. Societies that did not accept homosexuality survived.
So, yes, there is a marked difference between homosexuality and incest, and your slippery slope argument is, as with so many slippery slope arguments, laughably false and ignorant.

But there are condoms today, so they wouldn’t have to worry about pregnancies. Yet there is still a moral repulsion to the idea of incest like there used to be to homosexuality in Christian society.
dpareja:
Yes, there is a moral repulsion to incest because our minds haven't caught up to technology. And remember that male condoms are only around 98% effective (when used properly), so the taboo still makes sense even in light of our advancements in medical science.
As for homosexuality, that taboo was imposed--when you kill everyone who displays their homosexuality, everyone else gets the message pretty quickly. Prior to that, homosexuality was generally accepted.

But the immoral society of today also accepts birth control and abortions so even in the 2% of cases where condoms fail, it won’t cause babies with genetic disorders to be born. Eventually people’s minds will catch up to technology.
So Niam, every time you have sex with a condom, you have a 2% chance of becoming a father. So you might have fathered a poor neglected child who never met his or her dad due to your immoral behavoir.
