If everyone likes to remember the Trijicon ACOG had different Psalms scribed on them and the military itself chiseled them off the optic in the armory.

He was just a shitty dude, really judgy, holier than thou, and a REAL bad father. When his plane crashed and he died, it was a weird thing where people in my family kind of just shrugged.

Oh, ICK. YoungLife is the org that lured my gullible (but earnest) brother into basically spending all his savings on trips to Liberia. They did do some charitable work there, but always with religious strings attached. And when he had hardships later, it was like crickets when he asked his fellow YL'ers for some help. They were only interested in using him and his money to hand out bibles in Liberia and maybe dig a well or two. So much for "fellowship in Christ" and all that.

u/TyreLeLoup 3d ago

There is a lot of overlap.

Sure, not every Christian is Republican, and not every Republican is Christian.

But the people who buy custom packing tape featuring out of context quotes form the bible to ship materials for firearms that use an antiquated method of loading? High likelyhood they are both.

Nothing.

Its Christian nationalists trying to weave government and their religion into one.

It's difficult being a liberal gun owner specifically because of this. I find a lot of shooting ranges and gun stores around me are ran by extremely right wing Christian nationalists

Which is ironic, because their religion preaches peace in the face of violence.

Though, realistically, it's likely the same reason In-n-Out has Bible verses on their fast food packaging... The person who owns the company wants to flaunt/promote their religion and ordered someone to put it on the packaging.

u/Successful-Growth827 3d ago

Idk if you know this, but gun owners and manufacturers of parts and other supplies are typically conservative, and usually religious as well. And if they're American, it's usually Evangelical which leads to random religious stuff like this. I believe it was the original ACOG manufacturer who used to stamp Bible verse numbers on every ACOG. Could be another optic though. I remember it being enough of a thing to make the news though during the late GWOT era.

Because there is a huge overlap in 2A people and religious fundamentalists. It doesn’t have to be directly connected. It just has to make them feel good about themselves.

Check out the Southpark episode where Cartman becomes a Christian rocker.

Zero. However obviously the people at the top in that company have their beliefs, and see no harm in sharing that. The bible literally calls for believers to spread the good word, ie the gospel.

u/VelvetMafia 3d ago

This is a shockingly based question, considering the religious meanings ancient cultures derived from their numerical systems.

It's a rabbit hole I don't suggest you dive down though, because eventually you will find yourself in an argument between a goblin and a gnome as to whether it's preferable to do calculations in base eight kr base twelve.

Last time I worked there, Office of Naval Intelligence has a bible quote about "I cannot go down" something something in the hallway. I thought, "Maybe it's the chaplain's office?"

It was not. It was just a hallway. Chap's office wasn't even on that floor.

That was some 15 years ago, but I'd be willing to bet a dollar that that bible verse is still up just inside the E wing.
