So Michigan-based defense contractor Trijicon has elected to engrave references to Bible verses on over 300,000 combat rifle scopes used by American forces to kill enemy combatants. Are they kidding?
The telescopic sights manufactured by the firm utilize tritium (a radioactive form of hydrogen) to help soldiers aim their weapons in low light situations. Perhaps someone in their misguided marketing department thought it would be really clever to cite various scriptures such as “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.’”
Using the words of Christ, which are meant to inspire humans to strive for a higher purpose on Earth, on a product designed to help kill people. Really?
