Interesting-DoD contractor puts bible verses on it's products

[DesignatedMarksman]

Apparently Trijicon has been putting bible verses on the ACOGs for some time now. It's on the serial number on the sight.


"The Any Light Aiming Specialists" Is the slogan on Trijicon's brochure. It may or may not be derived from that verse as well. Regardless, I think this is pretty cool and I'm going to see about getting an ACOG for one of my AKs.

"When Jesus spoke to the people again he said, " I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." "

Here are some of the verses....

Trijicon TA11F

ACOG3.5X35MT5:16

Matthew 5:16-"In the same way, let your light so shine before other, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."


Reflex II

REFLEX1X242COR4:6

2nd corinthians 4:6-"For it is the God who said, 'Let your light shine out of darkness' who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in Jesus Christ."

[Gartref]

I'm sure Jesus is thrilled.

[Chellis]

Yet if they were verses from the Quran or the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I'd bet money DM wouldn't be happy at all.

[THE LOST PLANET]

Oh Yay!

A direct connection between christianity and waging war... lets hear it for the new crusades ...

[Cannot think of a name]

That's the kind of crap you'd expect to see in some anime cartoon or something. Creepy.

[Anglachel and Anguirel]

God is smacking himself on the forehead and desperately trying to avoid pushing the "Poetically Ironic Smiting" button.

Seriously, why don't they put on some verses about "Turn the other cheek"? Or how about, "If someone wrongs me, how many times must I forgive him? Seven times?" "Seventy times seven is not enough."

Sounds like a cynical ubergeek marketing ploy to me.

[Maineiacs]

Can anyone else picture God sitting up there going "D'OH!"?

If it worked perfectly and allowed me to see my target, and they were a pro-american company, I wouldn't care.

I am getting an ACOG...

Did I Mention that the founder of Trijicon was a Christian? I emailed the company about this. I'll post the email here in a minute..

In this case the Ironic Smiting button is the trigger. And they don't choose fun time verses for the same reason Jules in Pulp Fiction didn't.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!

If it worked perfectly and allowed you to see your target but was made by a government you didn't like, you'd refuse to use it? So, in a war zone, you would refrain from taking over arms caches from your enemies and instead would leave those weapons and accessories for your enemies to use?

How about if you had a choice between a thingy that worked but was made by your enemy and a thingy that was crap but was made by Uncle Sam himself? How impressed would you be by cutesy-putsey little sayings on the product then?

No shit, really? Whoever would have guessed?
