Ben shapiro is such a clear thinker, he not only makes great points that are fair and not based in emotion, it's incredible how he can seperate his emotion to keep fact and clear points at the forefront of the discussion. This man should be applauded for what he does. He completely made all of my thoughts on this matter and manifested them in such a clearer manner than I have been able to muster.

 

 

 

Not only that but he is also very entertaining  and witty on the spot in his public speaking, glad I didn't write this guy off as a far right wing nutter, almost did.. He's not even close to that. What an incredible thinker andfair debater, doing this daily. 

 

A guy who believes in magical creatures (religion) is hardly the standard-bearer for separating emotion and argument. He also seem to be very irrational in regards to the whole gun argument and way to apologetic when it comes to Trump. 

 

Straw-manning anyone who believes in religion as someone who is incapable of separating their emotions from arguments is inherently an irrational stance to take. "Person X has religious views Y, therefore he is incapable of separating emotion from reason on all issues" is a logically fallacious argument. If you're going to dismiss people and their arguments based solely on their religious beliefs instead of the merits/flaws of their argument, you're not really in a position to be delineating who is and isn't a paradigm of rationality.
