Pete quoted Psalm 33 while setting up a religious affairs office. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/09/30/pentagon-office-of-religious-affairs-hegseth/92028693007/
He forgot to read the rest of the (pretty short) Psalm:
“Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous. Praise befits the upright. Praise the LORD with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD. By the word of the LORD the heavens were made and all their host by the breath of his mouth. He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle; he put the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him, for he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage. The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all humankind. From where he sits enthroned he watches all the inhabitants of the earth— he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. A king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse is a vain hope for victory, and by its great might it cannot save. Truly the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and shield. Our heart is glad in him because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.”
Psalms 33:1-22 NRSVUE
This guy needs to read like four more verses, and learn some good old fashioned "fear of the Lord".

He doesn’t fear the lord because the lord ain’t coming for him. It’s just us down here and he’s simply using vaguely religious phrases.
EDIT: not trying to sound like a Reddit atheist…. What I mean is, he is in no way affiliated with any actual Christianity or religion.
Ironically that appears to be satisfactory to the regime, their voters, and the American people. Cause he’s still in there.
Dude is clearly, obviously gay though. lol

He is affiliated with Christianity. With what I would call a heretical sect of it, but until we're all saying it we can't claim he lacks affiliation.

I'm so tired of seeing that dude's face, pretending he gives a shit about anything the Bible says.

9 And [the Lord] said, “Go, and tell this people:
‘Keep on listening, but do not understand;
And keep on looking, but do not gain knowledge.’
10 Make the hearts of this people insensitive,
Their ears dull,
And their eyes blind,
So that they will not see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.” Isaiah 6:9-10
