This is hilarious! (Thanks Alex for pointing this out to me!)
A certain US gun manufacturing company, Trijicon, founded by a devout Christian, produces weapons marked with religious markings such as "2COR4:6" and "JN8:12", relating to verses in the books of II Corinthians and John. The rest of the story here.
The company has a morality statement on its website: "We believe that America is great when its people are good. This goodness has been based on biblical standards throughout our history and we will strive to follow those morals."
Oh yes, by the way, the markings are in the gunsights, so that soldiers can look at the Christian messages every time they blow the brains out of someone.
First-class morality!

What measure theory is about
It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.

The principle of dynamic programming
max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]
The bottom line
