Any person who either would or would not buy a sight from Trijicon based on the fact they put a bible verse on it -not even the actual verse mind you, just letters and numbers for all intents and purposes- is an idiot. Period. Either you like the sight for how it functions, or you prefer something else. If a tiny little printed series of letters and numbers effects your decision to buy, you are stupid.
Trijicon bible verses revisited

Don't forget everyone is entitled to their opinion whether agreed with or not. I do admit refusing to by a good optic because of biblical references is a bit daft but that's an individuals choice. We were given the option of "Choice". Joshua 24:15
Absolutely. Everyone is 100% entitled to their opinion. That doesn't mean that one's opinion isn't stupid, or wrong, or clouded by ridiculous ideals, but one is entitled to it just the same. I don't care that someone might deprive them self of a great sight based solely on being anti-religion, but I will call them stupid for it.
Probably worth noting I am neither religious, nor a Trijicon fan-boy. I want an ACOG someday. I would prefer it didn't have a reference to a bible verse on it. That said, I will probably own one, and I will probably love it.

Fair enough. I do not totally agree with you but thank you for clarifying. Only time will tell when and if they stop doing it. As to it's negative impact we will never truly know to what degree it has , but yes I agree there has to be some. Being a Christian has never been an easy thing. I commend Trijicon for standing behind what they believe in regardless of the impact that it has on their company or sales.

Gauging someone's intelligence on this doesn't sound very intelligent.
I have my rx34 mounted on a magpul edition 870.
It provides a good sight picture with the highest cheek riser on the magpul stock. Looks kind of odd tbh but works great.
I didn't know what that piece of print on the sight meant two days ago. Today I do but it still doesn't mean it isn't a great sight... personally I'm not offended by any religion but I am frequently offended by what humans use religion to justify..

It has to do with the world we live in today. People get extremely offended over simple things, instead of just brush it off and move on.
I'm not religious, but bible phrases don't offend me in the least. As far as I can tell, Christmas is still a pretty big deal for most people. Christianity is an intrinsic and historical part of both Canada and the USA, and I surely prefer it to the alternative.
Lol so many people r making me laugh here..I love that you ended your post with scripture and that you have it in your signature. ..I am not being sarcastic..I like it
Onagoth...I am quite certain that with their military contracts and high quality products trijicon will be around for a long time
So if I understand you correctly, you think it's stupid to make purchasing decisions based on a company's ethics and values?
Fair enough, I'll grant you that it's not necessarily a fair gauge of someone's intelligence exactly, but it is probably unarguably a fair gauge of someone's maturity. Being offended by a series of letters and numbers that one would have had no clue as to the meaning of unless being told that aforementioned letters and numbers contradicted one's personal views and letting that effect one's ideas of whether or not they want to purchase said sighting device is grade school level immaturity.
I'll fix it:

If they (they company's ethics and values) have no bearing on your life, the lives of others and the quality of the product, yes. If their religious views don't coincide with yours, but that is the only factor the prevents your from purchasing an otherwise sublime product, yes. I know that is stupid, it's not a question of think. Bear in mind we're not talking about a company that laid off it's works to outsource to china or anything here. We are talking about a company that believes in a fairy tale. Who, pray tell, is that hurting?
The atheist often proves himself to be more asinine then the believer by lowering himself to the level of (anti)religious fanaticism.
Again, not religious.

Simply because a company's ethics and values does not impact you directly, don't assume harm isn't done to others. I have seen dozens of families and individuals negatively impacted by this religion first hand and don't wish to financially support those who subscribe to this doctrine. I know many who are absolutely wonderful people, but I know many, many more who are not. To assume a person is stupid because their experience is vastly different than yours is puzzling.
Okay, but you think they could put something more currently relevant to today's problems. Revelation 3:9 or Revelation 13:18 (By the way 13x18=234+ the reverse 432=666 your welcome).
I'm so called agnostic so its fine with the Bible verse, just wish people would get just as mad at all the occult symbols and mockings going on, almost all corporations world wide have them.

Someone who would not purchase a sighting device because it has an ambiguous reference to a bible verse because:
Is surely an idiot, yes. Go to bed, it's past your bed time.
