Praise God for Trijicon
Trijicon? Who the heck are they? I had no idea either until I read this article on Yahoo! News.
Trijicon is a US defense contractor based in Michigan. They make combat rifle sights which can be used day or night to pinpoint the enemy. But the unique thing about their sights is that they contain scripture references at the end of the stock number. The two specific references called out in the article are to “JN8:12″ and “2COR4:6,” which of course are references to John 8:12 and II Corinthians 4:6.
The inscriptions have sparked criticism of the company and the military. Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said that his foundation has received complaints from members of the military. He sees the inscriptions as “religious favoritism within the military.”
But fortunately, the military and Trijicon are standing up to the criticism and complaints. According to the article, “A spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said the inscribed sights don’t violate the ban on proselytizing because there’s no effort to distribute the equipment beyond the U.S. troops who use them.”
So yay for Trijicon and the US military! Praise God you’re standing up for your beliefs.
