Fox News on Sunday introduced Christian prayers that were sponsored by a Bible app.

"We have more Fox and Friends coming up, but you know what this is a transition for transitions if you've ever had one so so so Fox and Friends, this is very Fox and Friends, so ready your heart," Fox News host Pete Hegseth said on Sunday, segueing from a rant against TikTok.

"It's the 5th Sunday of Lent, and our prayer series continues with the reading of prayer from the Hallow app. We all need it, let's do it this morning, close your eyes — if you would bow your head," he continued.

1. Isn't that what Martin Luther got all worked up about some 500 years ago?

The Church basically selling prayers was what got the Reformation going. Maybe we need another one.

13. Whats next, selling indulgences?

[NanaCat]

15. Well, he got worked up about a lot of things

Like when the Jews wouldn't convert, even though Marty thought he had the perfect argument to win them over.

So what's one more hissy fit from him?

2. Damn it...

Now I am totally off my corned beef and cabbage.

(BTW: Jimmy & Tammy Bakker is with two “k”s)

[turbinetree]

10. Thanks for catching this I have corrected..............Thought I had two K's

[Hugin]

11. No problem.

Minor quibble in an otherwise righteous rant!

[turbinetree]

12. Thanks...........made my day......

3. What's next? Hannity selling indulgences?

I can’t believe Huckabee hasn’t thought of that yet.

[Shermann]

4. I'm skeptical of this Hallow app

How do I know this isn't run by a Chinese company that is going to redirect my prayers to some false Chinese folk religion god?

5. Wanna pray the right way? $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year

"Ya gotta pay to play," said Jesus

[Hugin]

6. That Dude has billboards up all over town...

And already appears on a gazillion over the air broadcast stations. I suppose he’s trying to break into cable and streaming now.

7. I saw commercials for this awhile ago. Mark Wahlberg is promoting this app.

I was wondering if he was the owner. I thought it was creepy.

16. Isn't he the guy that starred as a porn stud?

I guess since he's older he feels like he needs to "get right with God."

[tulipsandroses]

18. Yep. In his real life as a teen convicted of racial crimes

Most recently seen cozying up to the orange turd.

20. Mark Wahlberg never did actual porn (perhaps I misunderstood you).

He was in New Kids On the Block with his older brother, left them early on and later started Marky Mark and the Fun Bunch.

He started doing major Hollywood movies in the early to mid 1990s.

I think you are likely getting the porn thing from his starring role as a porn star in Boogie Nights, which was actually a really good film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

He was the highest paid actor in the world in 2017, btw.

He also was a racist, violent thug growing up in Boston, and served time in jail.

Early films:

In 1993, Wahlberg made his acting debut in the television film The Substitute. After this appearance, he dropped the "Marky Mark" name. His big screen debut came the next year, with the Danny DeVito feature Renaissance Man. A basketball fanatic, he caught the attention of critics after appearing alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in The Basketball Diaries (1995), a film adaptation of the Jim Carroll book of the same name, playing the role of Mickey. He had his first starring role in James Foley's thriller film Fear (1996).

He earned positive reviews after films such as Boogie Nights, Three Kings, The Perfect Storm, and Four Brothers. During the early 2000s, Wahlberg appeared in remakes of 1960s films such as Planet of the Apes, The Truth About Charlie (a remake of the 1963 film Charade), and The Italian Job.

21. Thank you for clarifying! nt

19. It's a young, thin blonde guy named Alex Jones. (not the infowars Alex Jones)

[Blue Owl]

8. Prayers intercepted by satan

[LastDemocratInSC]

9. Pete Hegseth has proudly proclaimed other absurd things

including the fact that he doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom.

[NanaCat]

14. Lent the holiday is indeed capitalised.

Just like Easter or Thanksgiving.

The third person passive voice isn't 'right' but 'is written.'

Not defending the traitor network, but let's criticise them for their actual errors, and not over ones they didn't make.

[Happy Hoosier]

17. Getting paid to read prayers?

... do these idiots even read that book they say they believe?
