Well I do not believe in God. I do believe that Jesus was a real man seeking to better the world. However I do not believe he was a magical being, just a mere mortal like you or me who's been dead and gone for nearly 2,000 years.
If anything I'd treat him with indifference and ignore his ravings.
I'd expect to see vigilante violence against this man by the more "pious". I'd expect him to be declared a false prophet almost immediately and banned from participating in the services of Cathedrals, Churches, Chapels, etc.
A few have declared themselves as the Son of God, not necessarily...
What about modern times? Like say during the War on Terror in Afghanistan or Iraq? Or Somalia? How would that work?
Also it seems rather militarily stupid for half an army to be pulled out of battle while the other half goes in. What of they were about to achieve a military breakthrough...
That depends on whether the attraction is sexual or not. Even if I were sexually attracted to my sister, something unconcievable to me, then I'd probably still halt myself from entering a consensual sexual relationship with her. As I stated before, I am not okay with pedophilia.
I find...
Well I see "incest" as any regular form of relationship. Just because it's between Jeff and his Mom, or Erica and her Dad should not make it "depraved" or "immoral".
Regular relationships can lead to sexual abuse just like incestual relationships.
Well isn't that a double standard?
Some of it is due to my need for logical explanations, but the rest comes from my study of history and how religion is used to trick those into warring with other countries, kingdoms, and deities as well as to control the local, and foreign, populace.
Disregard any government laws. It's all legal.
Despite my own hatred of pedophilia, this is ok if consent is given completely willingly absent of any pressuring forces.
For all we know he could be fantasizing about his girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever.
No. I doubt you could get 100% consent...
If a mom and son, cousin and uncle, etc. love each other then why ban it? For example, Queen Victoria, of the British Empire, loved Prince Albert, her cousin I believe, dearly, but when he died in 1861 she was depressed. So depressed that she stayed out of the public eye for over a decade.
