Well not quite, but it seems that some company who makes rifle telescopic sights has been putting coded bible verses on their hardware:
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.
Firstly if I saw 2COR4:6 on a bit of military kit I'd just assume it was part of a batch number or something but I'm really curious as to what the hell that quote has to do with the item in question - unless it has some clever way of illuminating the target.
The usual suspects have been banging on about how this gives ammunition to the Taliban, Al Kibble and all the other swivel-eyed rugbutters who say that this is a "crusader army" against muslims. Well yes, that's because that's exactly what this is so we might as well dip the bullets in pig fat before firing them (hey it worked before!).
Also on the American based forums where this got a mention the general consensus is that Trijicon sights are actually really rather good (Blackpowder - can you confirm?) - maybe Jeebus wasn't averse to a little duck shooting on his days off, I guess being able to walk on water comes in handy when you're wildfowling.

Ah Tritium based sights - I well remember using these in open sight format on a favourite 9mm pistol of mine before our glorious politicos deceided that only the Kevlar Cowboys of SO19 were to be allowed such things.
They were I recall very good - don't know this latest series but I suspect they too pass muster.
