Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth quoted almost word-for-word a violent prayer used in Quentin Tarantino’s cult classic “Pulp Fiction” that’s loosely based on a Bible passage in honor of the Iran war during one of a series of controversial Christian worship services he’s been hosting at the Pentagon.

Hegseth told his audience he spoke with Admiral Brad Cooper, who has led U.S. forces during the Iran War, about how they use religious teachings to influence the policy and military decisions they later make.

He then said that reminded him of a prayer given to him by the head of the recent combat search and rescue (CSAR) mission to find and save Air Force crew members shot down in Iran.

He said he was told the prayer is titled “CSAR 2517,” and said it borrows some wording from Bible verse Ezekiel 25:17, but didn’t mention it was adapted almost word-for-word from a violent monologue delivered by actor Samuel L. Jackson in “Pulp Fiction” before the character kills someone.

A video of Wednesday night’s sermon has circulated online and drew mostly stunned reactions on social media Thursday morning, with some questioning if it was satire and others pointing out the controversy the Trump administration has courted the last two weeks from factions of its conservative Christian base.

The service was reportedly the second in a row that Hegseth used violent verses and messaging in discussing the war in Iran: “Grant this task force clear and righteous targets for violence,” he prayed last month.

Forbes has reached out to the Pentagon for comment.

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.”

As a certain Jewish man said, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God' (Matthew 5:9).
You're just an orange anti-christ worshipping manchild that'll be quivering in terror before the Judgement Seat, and the Big Guy sitting in such will shout at you 'SCRIPTURE MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?!' before He sends you to Ol' Scratch in an express elevator to Hell: GOING DOWN!, Kegsbreath.
Heretic Trumpy will see you there, Pete.
