General Order #1
Yahoo! Coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the U.S. military by a Michigan company, an ABC News investigation has found. Brian Ross looks at the biblical verses written on firearms. The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army. U.S. military rules specifically prohibit the proselytizing of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan and were drawn up in order to prevent criticism that the U.S. was embarked on a religious "Crusade" in its war against al Qaeda and Iraqi insurgents.

I thought "Man-made Global warming" was to be the death of the world? This is getting too confusing...

If that is what you think... Then OK, you are welcome to your opinion.

Not just his opinion. Many people have that opinion.

Then I guess that means they are welcome to their opinions too.

On the contrary, I never believed in Al Gore's "Doomsday-due-to-man-made-global-warming" stories (and neither does Al Gore himself...)

Privately owned company. If they wish to have Bible references on their product, so what? You are free to buy a different scope, if you prefer.
