So in the news recently it came to light that Trijicon has been embossing bible verses within the serial numbers on gun scopes distributed to military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I can only shake my head. It’s easy for everyone in America to call bullshit when Islamic leaders profess their religion as being one of peace while at the same time their more zealous members strap bombs to their bodies and get on airplanes. But when you try and point out that Christianity is a bloody minded cult as well…folks are either confused or in rabid denial.
Bible verses on gun sights.
In a funny way, I find that worse than the muslim suicide bombers. These are gun sights being used to target people. And not just people...
A.
Single.
Person.
You don’t use a gun sight to take out a whole crowd at once. You use it to focus on a single person. A person. Not a deer or a bunny…our guys overseas are not out there to bring home the meat. Their targets are specifically human.
A shooter has time to see the face of his victim. They may have just heard a really good joke, or were just thinking about their family, and that final expression is what the shooter sees before ending his life.
It is part of war and no, it’s not pretty, but some assfucker at Trijicon wanted a product stamped with a bible verse to be part of that gruesome process!
What is really messed up are the folks who think this practice helps support our troops. Um…how? Only by attaching magical thinking and superstition to the presence of these verses on military equipment. How is this different from rubbing a rabbit’s foot, or tossing a penny in a well hoping for good fortune? This type of thinking is discouraged in the bible (look it up yourself)…but these folks think it is okay to treat the bible like its magic.
And with all this circular reasoning and hypocrisy…I’m supposed to have respect for religious people?
Not going to happen.
