U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret 'Jesus' Bible Codes

[Zanza]

The US Army should put "God with us" on its belt buckles.

[Sheilbh]

It seems rather tasteless giving them to Afghan allies.  Like giving them bullets coated in pi.....

[PDH]

Res ipsa loquitur. 

None of your Hebrew magical spells around here, buster!

[Slargos]

That fundies are stupid? That is no surprise, at least not to me. 

What indication, other than this article, do you have that says this company is run by fundies?

If you have some prior knowledge of their conduct, I can accept that this should come as no surprise to you, but otherwise you're just grand standing.

Res ipsa loquitur. 

Yes, does circle argumentation ever work for you?

maybe muslims or whatever need to be less stuck up.

It isn't circular. We have a data point - a company whose founder thinks it a good idea to put NT quotes on their products.

Any betting people wish to bet on what chance the company wasn't founded by a fundy?

I'm having trouble giving any sort of shits about this.     

Edit:  I'm trying to find it in this picture:

but can't be sure where it is. 

According to the photo in the ABC article, it seems like it should be in that little stamped stuff there kinda on the bottom, but even at that size, I can't read it to be sure.  If it is there, is it that whole thing, or is there a jumble of numbers/letters right next to it (like a serial number or model number or something)?

We have a, ie ONE data point. For you to be unsurprised, we require at the very least two.

Unless of course you do not need a data point specifically for this company, but rather rely on generalization and prejudice to supply posteriori data. Of course, I know that you are a glowing ball of jewish light, and would never stoop to letting your prejudice guide you, and thus we are back to square one, with my suggestion that you, in fact, simply misspelled several words of the original sentence.

Um, why?

Heh, I'm not prejudiced against people putting Jesus quotes on military hardware; I just think they are stupid if they aren't doing it ironically. 

Edit: from the article:

The company's vision is described on its Web site: "Guided by our values, we endeavor to have our products used wherever precision aiming solutions are required to protect individual freedom."

"We believe that America is great when its people are good," says the Web site. "This goodness has been based on Biblical standards throughout our history, and we will strive to follow those morals."

Are you claiming these aren't clearly fundies? Get real! 

[MadBurgerMaker]

Oh nevermind...there are more pictures on the ABC site:





  Oh noes.

Edit:  Heh.  Interesting verses, considering what they're stamped on.

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"[a]made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Edit2:  And why does the article call them secret Jesus codes?

I lack the endurance to explain my point more clearly than I already have, so I'm going to leave it.

This is the second time today, though, that a poster I generally perceive as relatively intelligent just doesn't seem to have their brain set to "think". Makes me wonder.

Maybe you're a poor judge of relative intelligence.

I named my rifle.

one is for fighting and one is for fun!

Not at all unlikely.

I've definitely learned that the problem in this story is the Muslims.  I should have known really.
