Almost too ridiculous – A company that makes scopes for the US government has been found to be including “secret” bible verses attached to the end of their serial numbers. I’m not sure how Chapter: Verse notations are all that secret. It’s not that much more of a secret code than the guy at the baseball games that used to hold up the John 3:16 sign (maybe if it said JN3:16).
There have been plenty of idiots that have framed the current conflict in terms of a religious war, a crusade, of Christians against Muslims (including George W. Bush). So many, that one has to wonder what percentage truly believe it to be, but only occasionally voice it in front of microphones.
To their credit, Trijicon agreed to stop putting the code on the scopes and is even providing kits to help in their removal. The codes have been in use for 30 years, so they weren’t added specifically for this war against people who are mostly Muslim. As far as the verses themselves, it certainly would not have been difficult to find plenty of more warlike and blood thirsty ones if that had been the intent.
