To The Daily Sun,
MAGA "news" sources may skip this. I can't. The Military Times reports: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth prayed "for overwhelming violence against those who deserve no mercy, reflecting his combative Christian brand of faith." Also: "Hegseth's prayer service has drawn scrutiny for its explicit Christian implications for [our] nation with no established religion." Does "scrutiny" equal put a stop to this? Unfortunately, not. Hand of the Almighty come down on him?
As a literature student, my long-ago UNH years, I read of the "7 deadly sins": pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth. Hegseth's huge pride in death-dealing-powers reeks, smells. Of course, his boss is full of wrath and vengeance along with his destructive pride.
"These sins are considered 'deadly' because they can lead to spiritual death and further immoral behavior if not repented" (Wiki). We have astronauts suiting up to head into the heavens. On earth, we have mortals in power engaged in terrible, basest, most angrily destructive powers ― religiously noticed and warned against.
