Coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by a Michigan company, an ABC News investigation has found.
The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army.

ABC Douche-Baggers really have their panties in a wad, dedicating 3 so-called journalist to this big story.
Well, they call us infidels...
Cool!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
I guess the following article in Sunday’s Philadelphia Bulletin was very timely in light of this absurd report by ABC News. Does this Bulletin article describe this kind of s**t reported by ABC News or does it not? I mean it hits the nail right on the head. It is a must read!!!

Very Nice.... I’ve been wondering which scope to buy.
<< 2 Corinthians 4:6 >>
For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

This coding could mean anything, or nothing at all. The idea that it purposely relates to Biblical passages is ridiculous, IMO.
Treason, pure and simple.
The MSM and the ACLU, and probably the marxists in D.C., are going to have a major hissy fit over this, while I doubt anyone in the military could actually care less.
Hey, check out the attribution on this link...
But he was actually quoting Scripture while dispatching enemies, which works much better. And, his optic wasn't nearly as good as a Trijicon. :)
HEY ABC! I BET SARAH PALIN TOLD THEM TO DO IT
Click on the link and read the rest of the article. The Bible references are put there intentionally. But, that’s not the point. The point is that these idiot reporters and godless libtards are freaking out over this, towing the KKK line of “separation of church and state.” (If you don’t know about the KKK’s relationship to the “separation of church and state” statement, I’ll give you a hint: The phrase is part of the swearing in ceremony for the KKK, and the Supreme Court Justice who put that phrase into the legal vernacular was a member of the KKK...)
Cheers
Read the story. Trijicon says they put the bible references on their scopes on purpose.
Let the liberal douchebags cry all they want!
Yes, TREASON! I have a deep and abiding hatred for the people who pretend to be journalists these days. And if it isn’t treason then the stupid should be moved to a position commensurate with their abilities.
Holy cow... that comment section. I thought I read the bottom of the IQ barrel when I visit HuPo or the DU... But that comment section... just wow. It’s like a huge collection of people who are too stupid to post over at 4Chan.
Someone should gather up their IP addresses and force them all to wear mittens and a neck cone. They are so bereft of intelligence that they may be dangers to themselves.
APf
It doesn’t hurt to recognize America has God on our side in our war on the infidels.
One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, which reads: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
An apparent reference? If the author, who has access to a Bible, is too stupid to understand that these are direct references, how exactly does he think the enemy, without access to a Bible, is going to decipher these mysterious coded references?
"This is probably the best example of violation of the separation of church and state in this country," said Weinstein. "It's literally pushing fundamentalist Christianity at the point of a gun against the people that we're fighting. We're emboldening an enemy."
Right. /sarc
Yeah. Plus there's nothing like playing right into the hands of the enemy. If this is anything but a coincidence (which is almost impossible to believe), this company should lose it's contract.
Oops, my bad. Sorry.
LOL! Yup, I was tempted to rebut a bunch of those comments over there at ABC News, but then Michael Savage’s words came to mind, “Liberalism is a mental disorder.”
Cheers
I’ve been looking for a similar ABC article criticizing Commander in Chief Obama and his fellow travelers for campaigning in churches and violating their beloved separation of church and state.
Oh, wait. What? It isn’t really about that?
Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;
Hmm. Maybe
Really? Why? This is an American company that has put these references on their sights for years and it has never been an issue until abc decided that they needed a new way to hurt the war effort.
Revelations obviously, not Romans.
As per the article, the inclusion was intentional, and not by coincidence.
Gott mit uns, means "God with us", by the way.
You know, I was just thinking along those lines yesterday when Our Glorious Dark Overlord was spewing his BS from the pulpit. Obviously, the actions of godless commies are governed by a different set of rules than you or I must follow...
Cheers
Yup, that sounds more likely and makes me feel even warmer and fuzzier.
Cheers
That's how God works, right?
Hebrews 4:12.
Cheers
How does this play into the hands of the enemy?
This is a nothing story.
They know that Obama, Clinton and co. don’t really mean it—it’s just for public consumption and that’s cool for the sake of power.
The left won’t tolerate it from those who believe in a power higher than themselves though.
Why? Looks to me like the company was doing this long before it got any significant government contracts.

This is the most twisted statement of "logic"? I've ever seen.
A >"This is probably the best example of violation of the separation of church and state in this country," a non existent tenent
B "It's literally pushing fundamentalist Christianity at the point of a gun" An address from the Bible, silent, on a piece of equipment, is not "pushing" anything.
C "against the people that we're fighting." We aren't trying to convert them, we are trying to kill them.
D "We're emboldening an enemy" Why would anything, other than rolling over and playing dead "embolden" anybody? Do these people know how idiotic they sound?
I just completely LOVE IT!
My trijicon ACOG is JN8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”
Check Romans 4:5
The manufacturer admits they are deliberate references.
What’s ridiculous is that reporters & bureaucrats are freaking out over it.
Agreed.
Ain't that the truth... and it's not like they put the Jesus fish on it (which would be OK with me):
Besides, if you are using the scope, you can't see the serial number anyway.
Those scopes have saved more American lives than any other small arm advance in the last 100 years.
You’d think they might want to do a little real reporting, like on the murder of priests in Iraq and the ethnic cleansing of Christians.
Thunder and lightning just seemed a little more apropos. Smirky, though. And the makers seem to be serious Christians to go by the few other verses. If you must kill your fellow man, better to be reverent in your belieff.
"What would Jesus do?"
With a rifle?!! LOL!
With a rifle?!! LOL!
I thought that was funny too.
He probably wouldn't need to do much. I imagine it would be game changer if the muzzies found themselves at the business end of rifle held by Jesus.
Treason, pure and simple.
Right on the money.
