Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth read a fake Bible quote from Quentin Tarantino's 1994 movie Pulp Fiction during a prayer service at the Pentagon on Wednesday.
it totally looks like this idiot did not know this was not an actual Bible quote
He knew it wasn’t an actual Bible quote, but he did think it was a modified version of Ezekiel 25:17. Which it definitionally is. The actual string is:
I think that’s understandable if you’ve never seen Pulp Fiction (because you just assume the Pulp Fiction stuff was the USAF’s addition), but it’s still pretty funny.
The actual problem here, as usual, is separation of church and state being trampled over to make way for Abrahamic prayers in the US federal government.
Doesn’t seem like he made any attempt to clarify the bible-like quote wasn’t bible related and was mimicing quote about thugs murdering people…
And ironically being confused about whether their religious fervor is in favor of or against said murders…
At any rate, the christo fascist is quoting bible-like things with no further clarification/context… Seems more like he’s thinking it is a real Bible verse or hopes it’s thought of as one.
The fun thing with these shits is they like to walk the line of fuckery so despite all the bread crumbs, planted seeds, and ra-ra cheerleading… They can deny it or be defended because they didn’t explicitly do x… And when they do, there’s a torrent of noise behind them causing confusion and distractions.

Ezekiel 25:17 –> (edit: Bodyguard Kiba modification) –> Pulp Fiction modification –> USAF modification

25:17 is a small segment of the “verse”… Pulp Fictions rendition is made up all in except the “great vengeance and furious anger…” Part…
E.g. fake bible verse.
You mean “i.e.”, and yeah, he said that it’s “reflecting” Ezekiel 25:17.
He literally never said it’s an actual Bible quote or even all that close to one.

Yup. It’s not giving an example so “e.g.” doesn’t make sense
