Weaponizing God
COMMENTARY
While there is far too much to fully address, the intention of this future section will be to highlight clear patterns of cherry picking, hypocrisy, and twisting scripture. Though I’m not religious or deeply versed in scripture, I can still recognize when religion is being manipulated or used for personal gain.
Due to the lofty nature of this section, I don’t have a timeline for completion.

2026 April
2026-04-01 Pope Leo condemned the war in Iran, saying leaders who start wars have hands full of blood. He said, “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood”. This came after Pete Hegseth prayed for “overwhelming violence” against his enemies, invoking the name of Jesus Christ for bloodshed.
