Hegseth confuses Pulp Fiction scene with Bible verse

[j-mac]

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."

Did that twist your panties Mac? Awwww

And your signature is a fallacy. You have to do a whole lot more than call Jesus your "saviour" to be saved.

"Faith without works is dead" (James 2:14-26). A genuine belief in God means that you have to have good deeds and a kind heart to be saved. Professing that you "believe" is insufficient. True faith is active, transforming one's life, while inactive faith is useless and spiritually lifeless.

You cannot be a Christian and refuse entry to the USA to refugees and those fleeing natural disasters, political upheaval, or dictatorships. You can't just say you're a Christian, you have to "walk the walk" to earn your way into Heaven.

I really hope you don't profess to be Christian because your last sentence is dead wrong. NO ONE can "earn" their way into Heaven. That's exactly why Jesus had to come....and die

You know what is so sad about your cult?

You worship a man who is an adulterer, ...

I support Trump, POLITICALLY, for POLITICAL reasons.

Your weird emotional need to pretend otherwise, is just you being an asshole.

Go **** yourself.

You threw all your morals out the window without the slightest hesitation.

Now the only tangentially ethical thing you can plausibly whine about any more is...pronouns.

I reference "pronouns" to make a point about how fucked in the head libs are, that they attack the reasonable self identification of CHRISTIANS, while supporting the literally delusional self idenification of trans.

That you evaded the point and just spammed negs, is normal for leftards today.

NONE of you are able to support the completely insane positions that your movement has evolved into.

Buy my Bible! I redacted all the Commandments for you!

Buddy, with all due respect, go **** yourself.

Not making any prophecies, just pointing out that religious people are the norm and dismissing them is thus not reasonable.


Would you like to address that, or just make some more very vague and meaningless statements?

You can't go along with deportations, mass incarcerations, and abuse of minorities, and expect to go to Heaven Sue. You need works to prove your faith. You can't vote for Trump and his cruelty and call yourself a Christian.

 

[Hellokitty]

Wow, democrats seem to be hating the troops, I guess next they'll be calling to abolish the military.

You really going to put up a mocking SNL character? Good grief.

How does Canada treat illegal immigration?

Found it….

AI Overview



Canada primarily handles undocumented immigrants through investigations by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), which can lead to detention, issuance of removal orders, and deportation. While they may be released pending hearings, individuals who are considered a flight risk or a danger to the public can be held in detention centers or provincial jails.

Sounds no different than here…Maybe you should work on that?

Father Guido Sarducci is a man of god

We have dropped so far under the line of intelligent IMFORMATIVE speakers, and rely only on political party BS.

Um no…

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?

Your entire post is feelings. Things you wish were true.

You sure do support him, as long as he pushes that white supremacy agenda.
