OT - Bible Verses on Gunsights

[pmulcahy11b]

I wish we could win the war of terror already - I am getting anxious to see the next one already!!

Unfortunately, I'm quite sure you'll get your wish way too soon. Veterans of this board know I think the world is heading into a real-life T2K scenario.

Is there Pepsi in Hell?

Given that it's the second most disgusting name-brand soda I've ever had, I would imagine so.



(Most disgusting being Diet Pepsi.)

Hey, I resemble that remark!

[Grimace]

Yeah, this is the case of a few uppity people who've got nothing better to do deciding that bible verses on sites will be the end of "peaceful" civilization in the Middle East as we know it. C'mon...WTF!

Read the article...3 DECADES these verses were on their items! 30 YEARS!

Don't tell me this is the first time anyone has noticed the numbers on things in 30 years time. This is just ridiculous, wasteful and stupid.

And if you don't want a bible verse...don't look it up. It's a number. Only turns to words if you open a bible and read the verse. Only people who care about it would do that...or some idiot who just wants to do it to complain about it.

Atheist or not, this is a waste of time and resources for something that's never been an issue before and really isn't an issue for a vast majority of people using the sites.

As Cpl. Kalkwarf pointed out, this comes from a private company. They can put whatever they want on the site. Their right to do it. Now if the government later decides to cut off it's nose to spite it's face, then more power to it. Part of me wishes that Trijicon would have just told them to stuff it.

I'm thinking of this thread, and of the scene in Red Dawn where Robert is marking the stock of his AK with kill marks...and thinking, this would be another good flavoring detail for GMs or players to use.

See my post below -- the thread is not entirely wasted.

But with your comment I cited, I'm reminded of a practice that author Richard Bach uses -- if you can't think of an answer to a question or you need a good thought for your situation, just pick up any book, randomly open it to a page, and read the first sentence you see. And it actually does work sometimes!

Still a little disappointed they didn't have Ezekiel 25:17.

And with a little button to play Samuel L. Jackson reading it.

[weswood]

Speaking for Christians, I'm clinging to my Bible and my gun, and I don't care if my fancy sights have bible verses on them....unless they help me aim better!

[copeab]

Perhaps the inscriptions should reference Ezekiel 23:20 instead.

Now that's an idea! A little MP3 player embedded in a weapon to play music to fight by!

[Legbreaker]

Well the Israelis already have that nifty bottle opener...
Now thats exactly what every soldier needs after a long hard day on the front - something to open the beer!

:P

kinda like Barrett did to Kalifornia. Man that was cool.

I just had this image of a label on a can in Hell -- "Cola -- and it's crap, too!"

have to disagree, I don't mind Pepsi. Now the Diet part..... Diet anything. Heck the changed the chemical replacement of sugar again and we still don't know the long term effects of it. A friend of mine had been Hooked on Diet coke like millions are, but started having problems. He went to the doc and found out that it was the diet coke. He asked the doc if he would have to quit any sodas, and the doc said no, just diet. But he should not drink as much of the regular stuff either. So now my friend drinks regular coke now in moderation and is fine.

If I remember correctly the stuff they are presently using was really really bad for us many years back according to the food and drug guys, but it seems some corporate hack paid off enough people to get it too be OK-ed.

So i guess hell has nothing but diet crap now, damn...... (pun intended)
