On Rape and Incest...
Steve King has been heavily criticized for asking idiotic questions about whether there would be any population left without rape and incest.
Perhaps he is an outlier for stating it so bluntly. But make no mistake about it, he isn't alone.
Anyone who believes in the literal interpretation of the Bible thinks this way.
Part of the reason I say this has to do with the casual way that the brutality of the Old Testament is simply accepted as the "Will of God". Many of the revered characters in the OT were sociopathic bastards. Especially when it came to women.
But it is even more fundamental than that. If you believe that all life came from Adam and Eve, then you inherently believe in incest. Their offspring were all siblings so how the hell else could there be subsequent generations?

So of course man made God a man. He even co-opted the birth process & crafted Eve from one of Adam's ribs. 
Still, we would like to think that we have moved forward from the beliefs of ancient times.
And yet, an acquaintance of mine claims that King's mother was raped by a bulldog.
"and you are a product of WHICH of those options?"
You sound rather defensive... hitting a little too close to home?
