Hegseth confuses Pulp Fiction scene with Bible verse

[Delldude]

Wow, it’s almost as if they are not that religious at all...

The left?

They've really been exposed.

The left?

The “christian” conservatives.

They've really been exposed.

They dont’ care. Its a symbol of how fucked in the head they are. It has nothing to do with religion; it has everything to do with public policy they support.

Or maybe Ringo is weak and I'm the tryanny of evil men?

Forgive them, Christ would.

I really don't know how to add to this, other than the obvious reminder that this adminstration has turned Christianity into a farce.

I feel bad for the non-MAGA Christians who are seeing this done to their religion.

Hegseth's Pentagon prayer sounds like 'Pulp Fiction' line; here's why
Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service Brian Kaylor

While the prayer echoes scripture, only part of its final line appears in the Bible. Ezekiel 25:17 reads, "And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them."

Instead of the biblical "I am the Lord," Hegseth said, "my call sign is Sandy One" — a line not found in scripture, but popularized an iconic scene in "Pulp Fiction." The rest of Hegseth's quote closely mirrors the fictionalized Ezekiel 25:17 Samuel L. Jackson's character, Jules Winnfield, cited before killing a character in "Pulp Fiction."

"There's a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17," Jackson's character said. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Hegseth's prayer caught the attention of X and Reddit users, who commented on its parallels with the "Pulp Fiction" line.

Some questioned if the prayer was satire, while others called it "beyond embarrassing."

Kegsbreath was joking.
Such a funny guy.

Like when he gave out classified in formation on a military strike.
