U.S. Military Weaponry Company: Killing For Jesus!

abc_scope_100118_mnThis goes into the holy f*ck file. According to ABC News:

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.

This is just plain scary on sooo many different levels. Not only does Trijicon, manufactures weapon sights used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but they are also used to train Iraqi and Afghan soldiers.

Their website reads: “Guided by our values, we endeavor to have our products used wherever precision aiming solutions are required to protect individual freedom.”

dscn1916Man, I was slightly pissed to learn that In & Out Burger puts Bible verses on their hamburger wrappers. This is light-years beyond that. Can you even get into the mindset of these weaponry manufacturers; they actually take the time to secretly inscribe the word of Jesus on their concoctions of death!?

What a throwback to the days of the Crusades of Europe. Yes, convert or die towelhead: we’re killing you in the name of Jesus! The secret biblical messages include a reference to Second Corinthians 4:6:

“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.”

Also, included are citations to the books of Revelation, Matthew and John that deal with Jesus as “the light of the world.” The gun sight reads:

“Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Yes, killing the way Jesus would’ve wanted it. It gets better: Trijicon has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps.

The company’s web site also trumpets: “This goodness has been based on Biblical standards throughout our history, and we will strive to follow those morals.”

Finally, a weaponry company that Pat Robertson can fully get behind! Watch Trijicon’s promo video and see how much creepier  knowing its all for Jesus:

    There is more and more evidence of a high level military leaders who do, if fact, believe we are in a crusade and it will lead to end of times. I thought soldiers passing out bibles was an all time exercise in arrogant stupidity. This is just further proof of how ignorant of the culture we are dealing with and sure to go a long way in convincing radicals that we need to die.

    I suppose it’s progress. In past crusades there were papal plenary indulgences. Now we’ve advanced to gun manufacturers engraving New Testament code on gun sights. Not bad for just a handful of centuries.
