Trijicon putting bible verses on military scopes.

Do they put Jewish or Islamic verses on the scopes too? Nah of course not.

Pretty clearly violates separation of church and state. Probably more gregarious that it directly violates "U.S. military rules specifically prohibit the proselytizing of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan and were drawn up in order to prevent criticism that the U.S. was embarked on a religious "Crusade" in its war against al Qaeda and Iraqi insurgents."
 
Its not a matter if I see this as being right or wrong but the fact that is is not wrong. If the company has alway put the verses on the sights and the military decides to go with them anyways, so what! Big deal. I think the president of Trijicon is clinging to what is left of the capitalism he has left. Heck, he is clinging to his rights under the Constitution period. They dont hve to have Jewish or Islam writing on them. As a nation, we should stand for our rights as Americans because if we dont we are going to be under the same control as the Iraqis now. They have no religious tolerance outside of Islam. We have the freedom of religion. I am against church and state dont get me wrong, but this has nothing to do with it. The military could have just as easily went with EOTech sights, which are rated better anyways for a comparable price. I am sick of the political correctness with this government. We have become so worried about offending someone that it has just gotten stupid. Our president cant even call a blatant terrorist a terrorist. What is wrong with that? Why did it take 3 months to send troops to protect our troops that were already in Iraq? And to say that a little Bible verse is offensive. I dont care if you believe in the bible or not, it doesnt hurt anyone. Its a symbol for something much bigger. Lastly, If I may rant a little more. If I were president, I would line up hundreds of terrorists and put up a video camera to televise what I would do. I would dip the bullets in pigs blood and mow them all down and announce that our bullets would be dipped in pigs blood. I bet that would stop them. AND..............I would use sights by the fine makers of Trijicon. We have freedom to do what we want. Dont like them? Dont use them.
 
You know what, I believe in God... But I really don't understand the bible verses on the scopes... Maybe the manufactures should explain why they put them on there... I was in the Marines and no one ever told me that their was any bible versus on the weapons that I carried....

You dont have tounderstand why they do it, they just want to share their beliefs through their business. I do the same with my T Shirts. My business name is Covenant Hardwood Floors and I have the symbol of the Holy trinity on it. Its my stance and my way to show what my agenda is with my business. To do my work as if I am doing it for the Lord. Even If they put Islamic quotes, it wouldnt bother me in the least because they have the freedom of religion too. This is different than Bible classes in public schools. If Bible classes were taught it would only be right for Quaran to be taught as well. So I am against church and state for the fact that I believe Islam teaches vengance on infidels and I dont want that taught in schools, so I got to be against Bible classes as well because it is "politically correct" and we do have the distinct separation of church and state.
 
I'm not against putting bible verses on anything, you know what they say there is no athesis in fox hole.... My uncle is preacher and passing the good lord around dosen't hurt at all....
 
This story is getting really loud out there. I am curious to anyone that thinks its bad or should be happening. Terrorists, Saddam's Bath Party, and Muslim Extremisits all over the world LOVE American currency. They steal it, counterfit it, and use it to buy and sell, yet they dont seem to mind it says "In God We Trust". Odd how tables turn when it suits their need.
 
Where is the power of the people?


WASHINGTON — A Michigan defense contractor will voluntarily stop stamping references to Bible verses on combat rifle sights sold to the U.S. military, a major buyer of the company's gear.

In a statement released Thursday, Trijicon of Wixom, Mich., says it also providing to the armed forces free of charge modification kits to remove the Scripture citations from the telescoping sights already in use. The Marine Corps has purchased more than 200,000 Trijicon sights and the Army has bought about 100,000.

The references raised concerns the citations break a government rule that bars proselytizing by American troops.

and Christian Extremist Terrorist and Hindus and Buddhism and Judaism and so on. All Radical Extremist are dangerous. emoBadLanguage
 
Not many of any other religion that are actually killing anyone right now. Except for the one guy that killed the late term abortion doctor.
 
I think the government needs a lesson on the constitution. It abides to everyone but them I guess.. Heck I am only thirteen. But I realize that everyday we are closer and closer to getting more opressed on practicing our religion. All the verse is for is for inspiration. If my life was on the line. I would need some inspiration.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Haveny you guys heard of all the christians with bombs strapped to them to kill unbelievers? Those crazy christian suicide bombers, LOOK OUT! Ha ha. And to say anything about extremist hindus or buddist show that you cant tell the difference of religions. There are better religions to label as extremists, yet muslems are the only ones who threaten the lives of those who dont believe in allah. Buddists are peaceful athiests. Hindus are peaceful polythiests. I dont know of any extreme Jews, nor have I ever heard of them. The fact is, political correctness is what your statement reverts back to. As far as christian extremists, I can name a few, yet not to the extent of trying to commit genocide. Plus, I would question any christians faith is they wished harm on others. As far as my own opinion, I dont care what you believe. But if you try to "soften up" the people who want us dead by pointing fingers, then shame on you. Lastley, the koran insists on believers doing harm to infidels/nonbelievers. So these extremists are actually just faithful muslims. The Bible doesnt tell us to seek harm on others or to kill others for unbelief, does it? :emoticon:
 
Lets not forget: Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"says the Lord. On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:14-21

Is this just a dream or proper instructions. TRust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: PRoverbs 3:5

Jesus came to save all humans from eternal hell, not just the ones who call themselves Christians, but even the Muslim's who have yet to see the truth.
Our Brother Paul advanced the gospel so far while in jail in chains, not with a gun and bullets, but with love! My Christian brothers, lets not lose sight of the goal, and remember that we must die everyday to our own life and understanding and submit it to the Lord.

That scripture sounds a lot like what a pinko, tree hugging, Godless, whining, sissy Liberal might say.... Really, it's just easier to kill them. All that other stuff looks just too hard, and we will seen as weak. (sarcasm there)
