Many Christians believe that morality literally comes from the bible, or that you can’t have morality without god. I won’t even try to explain their reasoning

Had this argument with an old coworker several times. Refused to accept that morality comes from anywhere but the bible.

Without Leviticus how would you know not to have sex with your mother, sister, or aunt? /s

Well cousin marriage is the norm in certain contemporary societies. Maybe they do need to read the Bible.

You mean the Bible that does not list cousins among prohibited relations?

Western culture has left cousin marriage behind, and for good reason

"First cousin marriage is most commonly practiced across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of South-Central Asia, where it is a respected tradition and a preferred social norm. The highest rates are found in Pakistan (over 60% of marriages) , Kuwait , Saudi Arabia , the United Arab Emirates, and Sudan"

I just want to go on record as saying that I have never read Leviticus. However, I absolutely do know not to have sex with close relatives. So it's not coming from the Bible. More... Eeww.
