The big deal is that I dont want my tax dollars being used to to pay a company who feels the need to force its founders religious beliefs on the masses.

If a few words written on a piece of equipment that no one even gives fudge about is so horrific and must be stopped at all costs!!!-- then shouldn't the money used to pay anyone in government and military be reprinted with no mention of god on it?

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Muslim groups reacted angrily Wednesday after it emerged that the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan were using rifle sights inscribed with coded Biblical references. ADVERTISEMENT The company producing the sights, which are also used to train Afghan and Iraqi soldiers under contracts with the US Army and the Marine Corps, said it has inscribed references to the New Testament on the metal casings for over two decades.

If you hate God so much, move to an atheist God forsaken country like North Korea, and be happy. They would love to have your God hating butt there. If you hate what the government does bad enough, go stand on a street and protest with a sign or something. While you're there, shove some of the homeless people aside so you have room to walk.

Are the ACOGS offered without the ridiculous reference to biblical passages? If not, then yes, it is forced.

Here is the scripture they should have used on the scope. Not only does it use the word 'light' but the scripture itself accurately portrays these people.
The murderer rising with the light
killeth the poor and needy,
and in the night is as a thief.
Job 24:14 KJV
