Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth led his first monthly Christian worship service at the Pentagon since the Iran war began on Wednesday, praying for "every round to find its mark" against the nation’s adversaries.

The service, livestreamed to a wider audience, saw Hegseth tell gathered civilian employees and military personnel that it was "all the more fitting this month, at this moment, given what tens of thousands of Americans are doing right now."

During the service, Hegseth read a prayer he attributed to a military chaplain, stating, "Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation. Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy."

He also quoted from the Psalms, declaring, "I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and did not turn back till they were consumed."

1. So Jesus loves "overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy"?

And who gets to decide who deserves no mercy? I thought that was God's job, even assuming Jesus was wrong about everyone deserving mercy. Seems to me that somebody's theology is kinda fucked up.

2. There is nothing to be celebrated about killing another human being....it's pretty simple.

3. That's one solid "Pro-life" message from...

a true "christian". In reality, nothing more than a death cult.

5. Well, since I stopped the whole religion thing

it seems that Christianity has changed quite a lot.

So, no more "love you neighbor", but rather "Kill everyone who doesn't believe exactly what you tell them to believe?" oh, and "Kill them all!"....along with a hefty dose of overt (used to be covert) hatred of women.

Being agnostic leaning toward atheism is looking pretty good right now, because if this is "god", I want no part of it.
