No surprise that there's hysteria over this non-story (It's not like I couldn't find weapons with Islamic inscriptions).

The spinsters are hard at work, but what's interesting is that the Bible verses actually quoted are rather benign:

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.

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

So the verses actually talk about Jesus and knowledge and the folks at Loonwatch.com and their ilk interpret this as proof of 'genocidal' minded soldiers following the Bible.

Now that is desperation!

YES.

A fine example of 'What about-ery'

Just kidding - but it is bordering on what about-ery!

The problem though, my young American loon, the Jesus scopes are illegal under American law and the stupid manufacturers are proud that they are putting Bible refs onto military equipment.

So, you're defending a criminal and stupid act! Why am I not surprised?

No, putting Bible verses (or references to Bible verses) on government equipment is dumb.

Nice try though.

I understand you have a hard time distinguishing between what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God.

Christians don't have that handicap.

Young loon, talking in riddles won't change the fact you're condoning a stupid and illegal act.

At least we agree that it is dumb to do so.

And I know a great number of soldiers would have a great problem with this. Not everybody in the US military is Cristian. And remember this story was brought to light by the US media.

United States Central Command order that prohibits consumption of alcohol, sexual activities with local and third country nationals, offering food considered forbidden (haraam) under Islam to local nationals, and proselytizing by United States Department of Defense personnel while in a combat zone and certain pre-deployment training activities.

My god, what a madness. Neoconservative Christians and their military industrial complex are just as nuts as their Islamic counterparts.

This world has gone mad. I always maintained that religion sucks. This proofs it once more.

'Lighten up' and become a non-believer.

As much as I appreciate ur efforts, but u know they would come up with new religions, if u ever managed to convince them abt the present ones! SIGH...

^isn't that what organised sport and celebrity watching is today? A religion?

True Shaf, the media dumbs people down by chewing stories upfront for the brainwashed.

I'm the Freedom Channel though, lol
