I'm not relating the homosexuality and kissing cousins, save that I think people should keep an open mind about other people being both. (Which you clearly have with homosexuals) I could just as easily have used the example of a particular religion or like topic, I just picked up on homosexuality because earlier in the thread you hit on the feel of what I'm trying to get at.

I'm simply stating that I don't think it should be knocked as wrong by basis that you don't
personally support it.
I do, however, recognize that your reasoning behind thinking it's wrong may have nothing to do with that and everything to do with your thinking it's wrong for
anybody to do it, regardless of personal feelings toward the subject. In fact, your reasoning could have everything to do with another reason that I have yet to understand (your writing is often very good and complex, meaning I sometimes have to read through a few times before I get everything out of it). If
that is the case, I don't have an argument against you, save that I think you're wrong for doing so, just as you think I am for my view. With that as the situation, there's no argument save the equivelent of a shouting match... which would accomplish nothing in way of argument and most likely cause feelings of bad blood, of which I've no wish with you.
I'm really not going after you so much because I think you're the most out of line in here, but rather because you're in opposition to me
and seem to have the most coherent/well-thought-out opinions
and can express them with more than a "Dude... gross."
