UPDATE:

Immediately following the outpouring of public concern over military combat weapons engraved with Christian Bible verses, Trijicon, the weapons manufacturer, has changed course.

In a statement released today, Trijicon said it would "remove the inscription reference on all U.S. military products that are in the company's factory that have already been produced, but have yet to be shipped," and "Provide 100 modification kits to forces in the field to remove the reference on the already forward deployed optical sights."

This is exciting news, and I wanted to make sure you heard about it right away.
I can't thank you enough for raising your voice on this critical matter.

The United States' astounding success in Iraq and Afghanistan has finally been revealed: rifle sights inscribed with magic Jesus Bible codes…

One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, 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."
Other references include citations from the books of Revelation, Matthew and John dealing with Jesus as "the light of the world." John 8:12, referred to on the gun sights as JN8:12, reads, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Trijicon [the maker of the sights] 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.

Amen!

Hey, the way I see it, if you're gonna busy yourself defending the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution from those who would willingly put it in jeopardy, you might as well get as much help as possible from the tribal deity of your choosing.

It just makes sense.
