Earlier this week I blogged about a U.S. military contractor placing Bible verses on rifle scopes.
Well, the contractor has decided to stop that practice.
"Trijicon Inc. also said it would take off Biblical references from all U.S. military products that are still in the company's factory and ensure future items do not have any inscriptions on them.
The rifle sights, in use by U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, raised concern that the inscriptions break government rules barring proselytizing by American troops."
