Actually I found myself to be agreeing with every view Ben held in the previous half of the movie. On one side the Democrats are bent upon making marriage weaker by strengthening divorce laws and on the other side they are arguing for gay marriages?
Isn't that hypocrisy? I hate the Leftist lobby at work in Hollywood which makes such partisan movies...
He actually didn't offer that much arguments...
And that hypocrisy stuff you wrote makes no sense.
I'm afraid ibrunomcp was right:
The closest to any argument anyone made against gay marriage was the governor mentioning thousands of years of tradition. Nobody else made any argument at all, they just decided they were against it, period.
The hypocrisy would be for a country that does not have a "State Religion" to say, "You may practice your faith as long as you live by the rules of my faith."
Apparently, for some people
· It is not hypocrisy for people to marry and divorce over the span of 72 days -- or sometimes 72 hours in the case of celebrities.
· It's not hypocrisy to marry someone you met three hours ago while you're too drunk to stand upright.
· It's not hypocrisy to go on national television to compete for a spouse.
As long as it's one man and one woman standing in front of the officiating official.
I don't know about other faiths, but before Christianity started to split off more versions than one could count, the Christian Church considered marriage to be of merely secular interest until Anno Domini 1215 when they declared it to be a Sacrament of The Church.
