Jewish tradition lists seven (?) sins as "obvious" to anyone as a violation
of natural law.  These include some that really are obvious, like murder,
and some that are not, like idolatry.  I don't believe that incest is in
the list, though I could be wrong.  (As a sidelight, the Jewish view is that
non-Jews are bound only by these seven laws; the full set of Biblical com-
mandments applies only to Jews.)
