And I'm the one that jaded you.
The Bible is just a soapbox for these halfwits to stand on. They use it to justify unsavory opinions and give themselves a sense of absolution. They are completely dissociated from what Jesus taught, and are simply preaching to the empty-headed masses that live on fear and prejudice.

They are no different of the inquistors of the late middle ages or the preachers in Puritan New England and the United Kingdom.

i would say they indistinguishable from Prosperity Preachers who also fleece the same type of magat audience.
The prosperity preacher can demand the audience of mostly poor parishioners donate money for his second or third private jet while saying to them it is what God would want, and the magat audience is so "poorly educated" they clap like seals for them.

Pete Hegseth quoted a fictional Bible verse from Pulp Fiction, mistakenly presenting it as scripture during a Pentagon prayer service.
So you are claiming that he was speaking at a prayer service and knowingly quoting fake scripture? Is that what you are going with?
So, did you bother looking up the verse?
Ezekiel 25:17 (KJV): 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.

why do you not add what Hegseth ADDED to it such as comments on "righteous man" passing through a "valley of darkness" and the "downed aviator.." , etc?
Oh ya, because you are magat hack engaged in spin who cannot simply admit that if a Dem said this you would ridicule him merciless while telling us you are being told 'not to hear what you heard' by those trying to spin and deny it.
This is a fuck up of the highest order to do to a church crowd at a major prayer service. If you are going to use scripture to make a point you damn sure should triple check it and get it correct.

- Pete Hegseth used a phrasing that sounded like a Bible verse during the prayer service, but it was not an actual verse from the Bible.
- He was paraphrasing a moral idea from Pulp Fiction—the idea that “the things we do in the dark will come to light”—and presented it in a sermon-like style, which made it sound scriptural.
- This is actually a rhetorical device: by framing it like a Bible verse, he was trying to make the message resonate more with a religious audience. It’s not uncommon in preaching or motivational talks to use pop-culture phrases in a “scripture-style” cadence to emphasize moral points.
So:
- He didn’t intentionally “quote a fake Bible verse” in a deceptive way;
- He adapted a secular quote into a spiritual teaching moment.
The criticism comes from the fact that the audience might assume he was citing Scripture, when he was really drawing from a movie. It’s part of why media coverage highlighted it—it’s unusual and jarring to mix a violent pop-culture reference with a prayer service.

Except it did not you idiot.
You do not get to cut out the middle section, while ignoring the other stuff said and say 'see it is correct as he got words 15-25 correct and we are ignoring the first 15 words and the last 20 ones'.
That would be idiocy and only magats do that.
Quoting a movie while quoting a verse. I get why y'all would be upset.
Personally I get annoyed when military leaders try to motivate me with the Bible. But I do not give a crap if they quote a movie along with the Bible verse.
What's annoying is the attempt to motivate through religion. Not the movie quote.

It is speaking to Prayer Assembly with a movie bastardized quote which basically makes a mockery of Jesus's core message that is the abuse.
Making the mistake in the locker room with the troops is not as big a deal.
If you are going to go speak at a European History summit, then make sure you are quoting actual european history and not bastardized movie quotes, and when it comes to prayer groups, where what you are representing is scripture, the bar for accuracy is as high as it gets.

A partial quote, where you get MUCH OF IT WRONG but cut out the part is right and then say "they correctly quoted the bible" is something only a stupid person would say. Thus you.

Example of actual quote...
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God"
If i change that to "blessed are the peacemakers, who get peace by killing off all their enemies first, for they will be called children of God"...
And you quote only the words i said that match the actual quote and say like an idiot, as you did "those words match the actual quote" while IGNORING the words i said that do not,... you have to be an idiot (ie you) to think that is correct to do.
