How cringey to stand on a stage in front of an audience and read cheesy lines from a movie like it was gospel.

Goes to show you how much he actually reads and knows about the Bible, I assumed all of us with access to a Bible looked up Ezekiel 25:17 after the first time we watched Pulp Fiction to see if Sam Jackson’s “cold blooded shit to say to a motherfucker” was a real verse.

For wickedness burns as the fire; It shall devour the briers and thorns, And kindle in the thickets of the forest; They shall mount up like rising smoke. Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts The land is burned up, And the people shall be as fuel for the fire; No man shall spare his brother. And he shall snatch on the right hand And be hungry; He shall devour on the left hand And not be satisfied; Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm. Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; Together they shall be against Judah.

For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.

Isaiah 9:18-21

These guys all think they come off like badasses, when in reality it is clear that their maturity was arrested somewhere around 8th grade, and they think quotes from action movies are wicked cool, man.

Such losers.

LMAO and everyone in the room was legitimately “praying.” Though one guys in the video may have realized and tilted his head. He was probably thinking “wait, why does this sound so familiar?”
