“JESUS CODES” OR JESUS! CODES? ABC Raids Message Boards to ?Break? a Decades-Old Story. “The manufacturer of gun sights used by the U.S. military inscribes references to New Testament passages on them, a fact known to the public for 23 years.”

The Office I work in is having a good laugh at the idea this is a SECRET Code. Hey, I?m a Catholic and we don?t do Bible references that way, but even I know what is going on as I look at something like ?2COR 4:6? inscribed on a tool or someone?s desk nametag, tee shirt etc. I suppose it is a secret if you work in an environment where there are no Protestant Christians, and you aren?t one yourself. (Which is an odd situation given that 30% or so of the US is.) Although I?m sure it wasn?t their intent, this tells me more about the ABC newsroom and editorial staff than about Trijicon.

I hear each scope is equipped with “cross” hairs, too. Will these Christianists never stop?
