Does he think he can outdo Samuel L Jackson or what is this about? pic.twitter.com/aeOUGKC0o0
The mockery of Christianity continues.

My that is a tasty post
Lies. This verse is found in the Gospel written by Jesus’ 13th disciple, Jack Daniels.

If you'll notice, the "passage" he quotes is CSAR 25:17 and not Ezekiel 25:17.
The prayer, which is an obvious rip on the Pulp Fiction quote (which is also an obvious rip on a quote from the Japanese martial arts movie Bodyguard Kiba) wasn't made by Hegseth. It was made by one of the CSAR rescue teams before the Iranian rescue mission. It's clearly a parody and is something well in line that you'd expect from servicemen.
Should Hegseth be using it in a prayer meeting/sermon? Probably not. But it's not like he doesn't know what it is.

Exactly this. Hegseth wasn't claiming this was from the Bible.
OP sure started a conversation though! Mission accomplished!

So………..we've stooped so low, the only comeback has been "you should see how bad the other side is."
Here's an idea.
We elect non octogenarians, without some form of mental illness, who can hire a competent and professional cabinet and staff.
No hires who are completely out of their depth. No hires that make political statements at the expense of competency (and that was directed at both Biden & Trump).
Maybe then we can stop with the "your side is worse than my side" BS.

I think you give him way too much credit. Just sayin.

Hegseth is a follower of the Christo-fascist Doug Wilson. Terrifying interview of him by Sam Harris below. The American taliban is real. This psychopath can't even condemn slavery.

I love Hegseth, but this is a bad look.
Even really smart Mo-Fos make mistakes. This one is kinda innocuous, but embarrassing. Not a big deal at all, he just needs to fire his speechwriter for letting AI find him/her a "prayer" to fit his speech without doing some fact checking.
