    Yup this is the religion that people take so seriously that they get to decide what you get to read.

    Enough deference to this phoney ass religion and it’s phoney ass followers.

      https://people.com/jd-vance-heckled-says-pope-leo-should-be-careful-talking-theology-amid-donald-trump-conflict-11950188

      While speaking at the event on Tuesday, April 14, Vance, 41, who converted to Catholicism as an adult, insisted that the first American pope should “be careful when he talks about matters of theology.”

      I don’t feel like the current cabinet would be strongly-positioned for a theological dispute with the Pope.

        Some convert joins up, and starts dissing the Pope? Just excommunicate this loser, and ban him from Heaven. Surely the Pope has that kind of power.

    I convinced him that it was real and he should use it. I got added to the Iran war signal chat by accident earlier this week, don’t think he’s noticed I’m not supposed to be included. To be fair, he’s usually pretty lit.

    “The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,” Hegseth prayed.

    "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 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen.”

    It’s already bad enough that they have sermons in government buildings, but then it’s with this kind of content?

        Apparently he was reading a prayer related to the mission to extract the downed F15 pilots… No idea how any of this makes sense.

        Hegseth mentioned he was told the prayer is titled “CSAR 2517,” which stands for “Combat Search And Rescue” and alludes to the fact that it borrows some wording from Ezekiel 25:17

        Source for that is here

          Perfect, why the heck not, just remix the Bible however you feel. He already picks and chooses what parts to follow or ignore, so he may as well just change the text to fit his whims.

              That assigns too much agency to the LLM. They can’t be conscious. They’re only useful for producing langauge which appears intelligent.

              The LLM companies will make the LLMs say anything to not go bankrupt, though.

      And he basically replaced the parts that were supposed to be god referring to godself, with himself referring to himself.

      He’s trying to elevate himself to the position of god, in very cringy fashion.

      Overall, just very delusional and megalomaniacal, in addition to blasphemous…

    I know he’s stupid and a drunk, but I don’t believe for a moment he thought there was a biblical verse about aviators. They were obviously repurposing the Pulp Fiction quote for this particular pilot and his unit.

      Right. That matches his persona perfectly.

      I bet when he was around black people in social settings as a younger person he brought up Samuel Jackson to relate.

        He should not be holding a sermon in the first place. That is the main issue. It is rather inconsequential if the goobledegook he says differs from regular sermon goobledegook.

          I agree.

          That is the main issue.

          I guess?

          It is rather inconsequential if the goobledegook he says differs from regular sermon goobledegook.

          No, I don’t think so. It matters whether he is sincere or just a grifter.
