Trump attacks Pope and posts picture of himself as Jesus all in one day

Right.. CSAR isn't in the Bible. It isn't anywhere. It's a rip-off from a Pulp Fiction line. Don't make up verses and then attribute them to the Bible.

Again, for the third or fourth time now, that's the joke. Every Bible-studying Christian doesn't have to be told that, but I've had to repeatedly tell you, while you lie about being so knowledgeable about Christianity. 9_9

No it wasn't dipshit. It was a prayer. That's not joking. It's twisting the Bible to serve your own purposes. And Christians do not like that.

Yes, it was. CSAR 25:17 is obviously a joke on the Pulp Fiction quote. That doesn't mean it can't be used in a prayer.
But keep going. You're proving more and more how utterly out of touch you are with Christians.

No Christian prays and then makes a joke out of it. It was no joke. It was a transparent attempt to justify killing people by quoting a verse as if it were from the Bible. And Christians all across America are justifiably disgusted.

In crayon... CSAR 25:17 is a joke verse (knowingly not a Bible verse), based on artistic license taken in Pulp Fiction. It was not used as a joke in the prayer. It was an earnest prayer for missions, like the rescue of the downed pilot and weapons system officer. Yes, if evil people intend to kill our solders, we will absolutely pray for them to be stopped, by any means necessary. The Bible has many examples of God commanding people to wage war (which you obviously don't know, even while you lie about knowing Christianity so well).

Context

Hegseth did not introduce the prayer as an authentic Bible verse, instead saying he received it from the lead mission planner for the "Sandy One" Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) mission in Iran. "They call it CSAR 25:17, which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17," he said.

Transcript:
"So it's this prayer was recited by Sandy 1, which is one of the Sandies, to all Sandies, all those A-10 crews prior to all CSAR missions, but especially this CSAR mission that happened in real time. They they call it CSAR 25:17 which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel. So the prayer is CSAR 25:17 and it reads and pray with me please. The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of camaraderie and duty shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness. for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy one when I lay my vengeance upon thee and amen."

I see..So it is a joke but it wasn't a joke. lol Looks like you've run out of arguments. No Christian would quote a line from a violent film like Pulp Fiction as if it were a Bible verse to justify killing. And certainly not while praying. It's clear from this that Hogsweat is just an ass-kissing hack, using religion to excuse his political views. And you're an ass-kisser of an ass-kisser, frantically trying to rationalize his idiocy but failing utterly. Confine yourself in the future to subjects you know something about because religion is definitely not your forte.

[Syne]

Yes, people very often say serious things with some levity. It helps to diffuse tension. The sentiment expressed is serious, about combat search and rescue of soldiers behind enemy lines, and prayer for success is sincere. We get it. You never faced any real danger your whole time in the Navy, and you're such a hermit you don't know these very basic things about humans.

Many Christians have seen Pulp Fiction, even if on TV, where it's been edited for content. Like I told you before, many Christians do not follow every tenet or haven't always, especially when they're younger. Even once rather puritanical Christians aren't so much nowadays. But you wouldn't know that, because you haven't been one for, what, 30-40 years?

And you're such a moron that the Dunning-Kruger effect means you can't even realize how dumb you are and grossly overestimating your grasp of every subject... even when clear evidence is presented to you. That you're so self-deluded that you think you, an unbeliever, can lecture believers about their own beliefs is utterly hypocritical, as you'd scream bloody murder if someone tried to tell you your own lived experience. Here, let's see.

It's interesting how atheists are suddenly so up in arms about President Trump jousting with the Pope, posting a light-hearted meme about his larger-than-life role healing America, and about Pete Hegseth's use of an adaptation of a Bible verse from the Combat Search and Rescue community.

The old stereotype of Republicans were that they were all tightly moralistic and judgmental prudes waving Bibles as they condemned all the free and open, liberated, open-minded people. The "Religious Right" was what they called it.

Then along come President Trump and his people who aren't particularly religious and obviously like to have a bit of fun.

And the atheists totally lose it. How dare he deviate from their stereotype!

After a generation of total disrespect, of insulting religion in every way possible, they are outraged when President Trump has some fun with it.

I think that at least two serious points can be made.

The Democrats obviously hope that this controversy, largely of the their own making, can be used to split MAGA by prying conservative Christians away from the insufficiently devout Trump. They hope that somehow conservative Christians can be induced to embrace open borders, anti-patriotism, race and "gender" divisiveness, men pretending to be women and vice-versa, sordid crime-ridden city streets, higher taxation, rampant welfare state fraud, endless "green" boondoggles, one-party control of media, education and government... and the left's rampant atheism... just because President Trump doesn't fit the left's own stereotype of a religious bigot.

Yeah right, that's gonna work.

And secondly, this stuff illustrates how today's excessively moralistic politics is largely coming from the left. Who are the ones who are always condemning the morality of their opponents: 'racist!', ''bigot!', 'misogynist!', 'homophobe!', 'transphobe!', 'xenophobe!', 'fascist!'. It's a whole litany of moral insults and fire-and-brimstone condemnations. Just about every political policy that they advocate for is justified by moral arguments of one kind or another. All implying that anyone who opposes their agendas isn't just mistaken, but flat-out evil.

It's another illustration of how President Trump has flipped the American political script. The Democrats are now the party of the ruling government/media/education elites, while the Republicans are the party of the People. The Democrats are the tightly-wound intolerant party calling down moral judgments while Trump is having fun poking them with a stick.
