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.

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