25:17 is a small segment of the "verse"... Pulp Fictions rendition is made up all in except the "great vengeance and furious anger..." Part....

E.g. fake bible verse.

E.g. fake bible verse

You mean "i.e.", and yeah, he said that it's "reflecting" Ezekiel 25:17.

“They call it CSAR 25:17, which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17.”

He literally never said it's an actual Bible quote or even all that close to one.

Yup. It's not giving an example so "e.g." doesn't make sense

For example fake bible verse

Doesn't seem like he made any attempt to clarify the bible-like quote wasn't bible related and was mimicing quote about thugs murdering people.. And ironically being confused about whether their religious fervor is in favor of or against said murders...

At any rate, the christo fascist is quoting bible-like things with no further clarification/context... Seems more like he's thinking it is a real Bible verse or hopes it's thought of as one.

The fun thing with these shits is they like to walk the line of fuckery so despite all the bread crumbs, planted seeds, and ra-ra cheerleading... They can deny it or be defended because they didn't explicitly do x... And when they do, there's a torrent of noise behind them causing confusion and distractions.
