[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't be confused.  Ben Shapiro never spent his time advocating for the elimination of marriage from the legal code.  He only got mad when the legal code extended it to gay people.

Intellectually honest conservatives who believe that marriage is a religious act would have pushed to remove it from the law in lieu of non-religious civil commitment. The fact that they never did shows their true colors.  They enjoyed this Establishment of Religion, and SCOTUS rightly decided that this could not be denied to others.

I don't believe Ben Shapiro pushed to remove gay marriage from legal civil unions as sanctioned by federal/state/local governments. He may not have voted for it, but he's been pretty clear that things like this is generally up to a democratic vote, and the prevailing cultural preference wins. What he is against, is mandating religious recognition of gay marriage, which is exemplified by cases such as Masterpiece Cake, and the recent supreme court decisions regarding discrimination exemptions for employees of religious institutions. What Ben Shaprio has been vocal against, is using the power of the government to force religious people to participate in gay marriages.

Again, I've only heard that Ben Shairo praise certain religious values as being the anchor for western values and morals, therefore causing the west to be so much more successful. I have never heard Ben say that he is right on something because of his religion. That would be an asinine argument.

Ironically, I'm an atheist. [/quote]
