Why can blood relatives not mary?

The only answer I seem to get is because there is a high risk of producing genetically flawed offspring.

First of all incest is legal in every state. Marriage doesnt mean you have to reproduce. Anyone else with a genetic disorder that has a high risk of passing it on to offspring is not legally bared from reproducing. A woman can drink and smoke all she wants during pregnancy. It is not illegal for women over 40 to reproduce. If tardbabies were the reason that relatives could not legally marry then wouldnt our legal system be saying that tardbabies are unwanted people?

Is there any other good reason why blood relatives cannot marry?

God forbids the marriage of close blood relatives.  If you have a problem with that, bring it up with God.

Since He's omniscient, you can just ask him whenever.  However, He tends to be picky who He talks to, so you probably won't get an answer until you're dead.

If faggots can marry then I don't see why relatives can't as long as they don't have any offspring. I mean... it's not like you can chose who you fall in love with... you are born that way...

Maybe if my family didn't suck. Plus I don't know who my dad is so I'm automatically down 1/2 my family.
