I am talking about Hegseths Christianity

Why is it always NON Christians judging others' Christianity? Do you realize you're the judgmental prude that liberals used to hate? Geez

Because we have fake Christians like Hegseth shoving it in our face

 

[SweetSue92]

I just don't know how these people are not insulted by this.

This one is easy. We're not judgmental prigs.

SHOVING IT IN YOUR FACE.

What, he knocked on your door and assaulted you with pamphlets? Please. Christianity offends you, especially from people you don't like. Boohoo, it's such an outrage to be offended.

This is bad enough, but honestly, coming from men it's such a terrible look.

Why would anyone be insulted?

What's the problem?

My goodness there's a man in the thread.....

Is it late-stage capitalism that we have all these men simpering and whimpering like the veriest Victorian teenagers riddled with hypochondria and tight corsets?

GEEZ

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."

Could it be that Hegseth's speech writers are deliberately trolling him? They had to know where they got that line from. Hegseth is truly hated by the military and many of his staffers have quit in response to his incompetence and generally creepy, drunken behaviour.

Could it possibly be that his staffers are deliberately making him look stupid and incompetent with this obvious reference to Pulp Fiction?

Um. You know that military recruiting is through the roof, right?

What is your Christianity?

[Superbadbrutha]

That's because college is too expensive and jobs are getting harder to come by.

We've become a nation of soy boys.

50 years ago there was practically zero soy in the American diet. Less than 1% of the American diet was soy. Today, soy is the #1 source of calories on the American diet, mostly in the form of ultra-processed soybean oil and soy protein isolates in processed foods.

Soy contains endocrine disruptors that can play havoc on thier hormone balances.

Yeah, that's a good question. Maybe they'd rather collect unemployment than be a part of this.

There have been so many embarrassments from this group, every goddamn day, that I think we're mostly numb to them.

Interesting. SO, the real reason you're such a ***** is soybeans. Hmm.

I don't eat soy. I bet you eat plenty of it.

FYI: Tarantino stole it from Sonny Chiba.
