Hegseth prays at Pentagon service for ‘overwhelming violence’ against enemies

Psychopath

Glorification of violence is a telltale sign of fascism. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

What a sick depraved individual...Im talking about the pastor.

Evangelicals are almost always the furthest from the actual teachings of Jesus than any most other Christian cults.

As an antidote for the non drunken sociopaths, here is [Pope Francis's Prayer for Peace](https://www.usccb.org/prayers/pope-francis-prayer-peace-and-protection-violence-and-terrorism) and protection from violence. I'm an atheist myself, but it's comforting to know that not all the religious are murderous monsters. > O Almighty and merciful God, Lord of the universe and of history. All that You have created is good and your compassion for the mistakes of mankind knows no limits. >We come to You today to ask You to keep in peace the world and its people, to keep far away from it the devastating wave of terrorism, to restore friendship and instill in the hearts of your creatures the gift of trust and of readiness to forgive. >O Giver of life, we pray to You also for all those who have died as victims of brutal terrorist attacks. Grant them their eternal reward. May they intercede for the world that is torn apart by conflicts and disagreements. >O Jesus, Prince of Peace, we pray to You for the ones who have been wounded in these acts of inhuman violence: children and young people, old people and innocent people accidentally involved in evil. Heal their bodies and hearts; console them with Your strength and, at the same time, take away any hatred and a desire for revenge. >Holy Spirit Consoler, visit the families of the victims of terrorism, families that suffer through no fault of their own. Wrap them in the mantle of Your divine mercy. Make them find again in You and in themselves the strength and courage to continue to be brothers and sisters for others, above all for immigrants, giving witness to Your love by their lives. >Touch the hearts of terrorists so that they may recognize the evil of their actions and may turn to the way of peace and goodness, of respect for the life and for the dignity of every human being, regardless of religion, origin, wealth or poverty. >O God, Eternal Father, in Your mercy hear our prayer which we raise up to You amidst the deafening noise and desperation of the world. We turn to You with great hope, full of trust in Your infinite Mercy. Made strong by the examples of the blessed martyrs of Perú, Zbigniew and Michael, who have rendered courageous testimony to the Gospel, to the point of offering their blood, we entrust ourselves to the intercession of Your Most Holy Mother. We ask for the gift of peace and of the elimination from our midst of the sore of terrorism. >Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Gospel of Matthew 5-7, "Blessed are the inflicters of overwhelming violence, for they shall never have to appear before the Hague."

He’s a dog and pony show. Look at me! I’m an important person. Narcissistic personality disorder is a trend in this administration.

If there were a God, I'm pretty sure he would think now was a good time for another flood.

Fake Christian, who would be seen as blasphemous and participating in idolatry of trump. He should go commit more adultery and go find his fourth wife. Evangelicals and Republican Christians would be the ones crucifying Jesus if they ever met him or someone who shared the same values. No wonder they hate Talirico so much.

Actual Bible verses from James 3 - ^(13) Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. ^(14) But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. ^(15) Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. ^(16) For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. ^(17) But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. ^(18) Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. The last two verses nail it. So twisting a war time prayer in Psalms to suit your own agenda is something which I cannot even comprehend. But on second thought, this is not an novel idea, even the devil quoted scripture to Jesus to try to make Him sin. Twisting scripture for your own personal agenda is not a new trick.

Most insecure and unqualified defence secretary always sounds like he's overcompensating. I bet he was always picked last for dodge ball and had to eat in the toilet stalls.

This guy is a neo-nazi psychopath who is not fit to clean a real serving mans boots, let alone lead the US military. F****** clown world.

He must have read a different Bible than the one they keep at church 

Time to start taxing them. They want to play, they can pay. Not that they don't already "donate" and "guide" people on who to vote for. Hegseths church should be the first example.

Hegseth isn't Christian. He wants to follow OT God. Christians are supposed to follow NT God. That's literally the purpose of the NT.

Next he will erect an alter to Baal at the Pentagon.

I dont know if praying to Jesus works that way.

It doesn't seem like any higher authority is listening. He's been 'praying' for a while now. Divine rejection is a b****.

If Jesus were here he would tell him hes doing it wrong.

Americans you may need to remember why you keep ‘Church’ and ‘State’ separate, to stop whatever this is

Good thing praying doesn't actually do anything.

There’s nothing Jesus wanted more than overwhelming violence 😬

Those who live by the sword die by the sword

The ghost of Dietrich Bonhoeffer is calling from the grave about these charlatans that claim Christ and then do not represent Him or His ideals in any way.

Be careful what you wish for

Was it not Jesus himself who said, "Blessed are the war mongers, for the cinders shall be theirs"?

so very Christian of him ..... what a psychotic.

pray… violence…. uhhhh

These people say they hate Islam as religion but.....

We'll know the war is over when they switch Pete off.

I hope he burns in hell!

Who are the goats?

The Sheep and the Goats 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

It’s very strange to be at a stage where all pretenses have been dropped. This is an evolution I didn’t quite see coming, and I have no idea what it means for our future.

i ain't even religious but that's a weird use of prayer

The irony that he thinks he is a Christian is absolutely deafening

Weirdo

is this what christianity is?

Poor guy is stuck in the OldTestament......

'21st Century Schizoid Man'

Sometimes when I bring up Reconstruction 2028 some people push back that we’re not that bad yet because they think about the Civl War Personally I think our leadership is literally in a religious violent bloodlust and blindly destroys anything in its path as long as it can create a quick meme out of it

They pray then kill innocent children in Iran.

Just like Jesus eh.

Do unto others what you want done to you! Famous guy from the past said that.

War Fighter Jesus is the Jesus for Pete. Turn the Other Cheek Jesus is for sissies. What a guy drunky Pete is. The best people.

How overwhelmingly disappointed his family must be

With the sheer number of pedophiles and sex criminals in the administration, I assume that anyone who supports trump is a pedophile. And I see this stupid grins that these guys like Hegseth have have and it makes me think...man from now on that's what a pedophile grins like in my head
