I think Hegseth quoting fake bible passages from Pulp Fiction, presumably because he doesn't know they're made up, perfectly illustrates the role of religion in right wing extremist politics.

I think Hegseth quoting fake bible passages from Pulp Fiction, presumably because he doesn't know they're made up, perfectly illustrates the role of religion in right wing extremist politics. It's a tool to control the masses. Nothing more.
In that respect, I am in 100% agreement with the pope.
I'm an atheist, but I grew up in a Christian community. US and Israeli violence is not in line with the core message. (Although there are people in my old community who supports them.)

Are they doing all that they do in the name of religion? -

@veronica Hello, I came across your profile, and something about your smile felt really warm and genuine. I just thought I’d say hello

But that doesn't mean people can't find ways to defend unspeakable acts of cruelty in the name of religion if they want to. So I honestly don't know. US has a long history of doing this. And they're far from alone in it.

@notyourfanboy Yeah, apparently he paraphrased Samuel L. Jackson's character's version of Ezekiel 25:17 from Pulp Fiction. It's not what the passage actually says.
