means Jesus advocated anything but peace at all costs - it's war war war or bust
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword” (Matthew 10:34).

So, to argue that it is an affront to the definition of marriage is preposterous.

Also, I could care a less if polygamy exists, etc. As long as there are consenting adults, I could care a less. I also think that brothers and sisters as well as cloe kin present a problem because the baby could be harmed via genetics. So, there is a valid, non religious reason for excluding that. But, if there is a way around that, I could care a less if brothers and sisters marry.

In the end, marriage should not be in any law book other than the consent issue.
Actually the thing about genetic deformities is a myth. All that geneticists found was that if you were prone to a disease by heredity, you have a slightly greater chance of getting it if you were inbred. So, there's not much of a risk there.

It seems your position is unique as most gays do argue against expanding marriage to cover other people.
