Suppose, Franklin, that it's Donald Trump who is evil and who is committing acts of evil. You're supporting a guy who fits more of the criteria for an Antichrist than almost anyone in America that you claim is evil or misguided. You're part of a fake anti-Christian cult, dude. (Not that he cares, of course)

A total disgrace to his father’s name.
chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell wrote, “Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday shared a custom prayer, referenced as the CSAR prayer, used by the brave warfighters of Sandy-1 who led the daylight rescue mission of Dude 44 Alpha out of Iran, which was obviously inspired by dialogue in Pulp Fiction. However, both the CSAR prayer and the dialogue in Pulp Fiction were reflections of the verse Ezekiel 25:17, as Secretary Hegseth clearly said in his remarks at the prayer service. Anyone saying the Secretary misquoted Ezekiel 25:17 is peddling fake news and ignorant of reality.”

It's been fun to see Petey mocked for it, but I do agree he wasn't claiming that prayer was straight out of the Bible. The more legitimately concerning aspects of this to me are (1) why in the everloving hell is the SecDef conducting overtly Christian worship services at the Pentagon????, and (2) Petey looked like an absolute idiot treating that thing as an actual prayer, which he said reverentially, as opposed to the "rah rah, let's go kick ass" reference to Pulp Fiction it was clearly intended to be by the troops who wrote it.chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell wrote, “Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday shared a custom prayer, referenced as the CSAR prayer, used by the brave warfighters of Sandy-1 who led the daylight rescue mission of Dude 44 Alpha out of Iran, which was obviously inspired by dialogue in Pulp Fiction.

The Pulp Fiction long monologue by SLJ is what was quoted, word for word (I think he only got one wrong). It is very different from Ezekiel 25:17, which is a single sentence. Pete Kegsbreath would know that if he actually read the passage.chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell wrote, “Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday shared a custom prayer, referenced as the CSAR prayer, used by the brave warfighters of Sandy-1 who led the daylight rescue mission of Dude 44 Alpha out of Iran, which was obviously inspired by dialogue in Pulp Fiction.

That was exactly my thought when the elected him. They saw a storm brewing over here.
Pope Leo : Trump Administration = Pope John Paul II : Soviet Union
He knows. And nope, he doesn't care. It's not about religion for him. It's all about the money. I bet he's got one hell of a successful stock portfolio at the moment. If he didn't he wouldn't be carrying Trump's water for him like this. No one would.

Overall that was a pretty depressing article. A few Catholics said that they were fed up with Trump and no longer supported him after his attacks on the Pope and the blasphemous AI image he posted of himself as Christ healing the sick, but most Catholics they interviewed were still sticking with him all the way- "he's doing so much good for the country", "he's better than the [Democratic] alternative", "he got us the Supreme Court justices that overturned Roe v. Wade", and on and on. They'll never abandon the guy - he really could just shoot someone in the head on Fifth Avenue and they'd excuse it somehow. They claim to love the Pope, but want him to do what Trump says - just shut up and stay out of US politics. There's a word for these people, and it ain't Christian.

Yeah, but he doesn't have to lose everyone all at once. He keeps doing stupid shit, he keeps losing support from people. Different people each time, perhaps, and many who will stick with him forever . . . but this is how you get to a 35% approval rating.

A certain segment of the electorate will both forgive and endorse any and everything that St. Donald of Mar-A-Lago does, . . ., as long as they are convinced that such actions "own the libs." And the fact that such actions are or may be harmful to their own self-interests is entirely irrelevant.
Agree. One cannot be both a Trump supporter and a Christian at the same time. Based on the body of evidence, and it is monstrous, the two can only be considered to be mutually exclusive.
