Inaccurate comparison. Those bible references are not advocating violence.

They tried to sneak in a religious agenda, and hid it to get away with it. And that should be taken queer - both of it. Some letters engraved into a scope is not the issue. The intention behind doing so - that is the issue.

What agenda? If it was to proselytize it was a particularly bad job of it seeing as it took 20 years for anyone to notice. Haplo certainly didn't.

Or what would some of you say if they had engraved some atheistic statement instead...? I know that some visitors in this forum would be pissed, and accept this bible reference only because they consider themselves as christian believers.

Strawman argument. Telling others what they would do with no proof at all.

I don't think anyone really cares what you have problems with.

P.S. I also doubt that the army has ordered "Rifle scopes model xyz with bible references engraved on them". If I would buy a spare part for my bike and find something like this, I would bring it back and confront them over it (as long as I have not bought it in a church-shop - whiczh is extremely unlikely  ).

And they'd be right to tell you to get stuffed.
