Sin does not exist? None, at all?
Then why is polygamy and consensual incest between family deemd perverse? What if cousins are incestual? Would you try to stop them?
If you do not beliee in sin, how, then, can you believe in "wrong"? How does that add up, Cephus, if you equate humans to animals and animals do not regard the term "wrong"?
Nope, sin does not exist at all. Sin is a religious concept and religion is absurd. Society, however, makes laws and rules under which the people who make up the society agree to obey or suffer the penalty thereof. These rules and laws are subjective, they vary from culture to culture, from people to people and across time. What is legal today may be illegal tomorrow and vice versa. Stop acting like, in order to be valid, a law has to be universal and eternal. That's a ridiculous idea.
If society decides collectively that polygamy and incest are wrong, for the society, then they decide such. There was a time when it was illegal in the U.S. to marry someone outside of your race. That changed. Today, it's entirely legal and almost universally accepted. Laws change. Times change. Get used to it.
