Jesus H. Carbine with a High-Power Scope

At the end of the scope's model number, you can read "JN8:12", which is a reference to the New Testament book of John, Chapter 8, Verse 12, which reads: "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." (King James Version) (ABC News)

Once upon a time, The East India Company greased its rifle cartridges with pork or beef lard. This was bad for two reasons: 1) to load rifles in the 1800s, a rifleman had to bite the paper cartridge open and pour the powder in the breach, and 2) the rifleman for The East India Company was invariably either a Muslim or a Hindu, one of which would have a problem ingesting pork, the other beef. This, probably completely unintended faux paux of the East India Company is what likely became the final spark of the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

Now, a defense contractor, Trijcon, has manufactured and sold to the U.S. military rifle scopes that are encoded with bible verses as messages. No kidding. Forget the separation of church and state violation, what might the possible outcome be when so many Muslims realize that we’ve been training them on religious weaponry. What about the Muslims that we’re supposed to be defending and helping when they realize that we adorn our weapons with religious spells and incantations.

From ABC News:

Trijicon confirmed to ABCNews.com that it adds the biblical codes to the sights sold to the U.S. military. Tom Munson, director of sales and marketing for Trijicon, which is based in Wixom, Michigan, said the inscriptions “have always been there” and said there was nothing wrong or illegal with adding them. Munson said the issue was being raised by a group that is “not Christian.” The company has said the practice began under its founder, Glyn Bindon, a devout Christian from South Africa who was killed in a 2003 plane crash.

“Mikey” Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has stated that the little bible codes are wrong and unconstitutional.  ”It allows the Mujahedeen, the Taliban, al Qaeda and the insurrectionists and jihadists to claim they’re being shot by Jesus rifles,” he said.

In addition, the ABC News report also states that Weinstein was told by servicemembers that there are military commanders who have claimed the sites are spiritually transformed into Jesus rifles.

Another bible verse used by Trijicon is “2COR4:6″, 2  Corinthians, Chapter 4, Verse 6, 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.”
