Is this the “mark” of the beast?

You can ask again and again.

I do not know. Neither do you. My professed ignorance about this matter of the mark, does not make your wild guesses and nonsense interpretation correct.

It's the "mark of the beast" dummy. Of course you don't know what it is! I'll give you a hint. Look at your avatar. Just turn it upside down.

So now you're going to backpedal about saying it's frightening?

The modern day "mark" will eventually become a reality whether people want to embrace the Biblical implications or not.

There are just too many neat government perks to mandate it.

1. No more missing persons if a GPS system is in it.
2. No more running from the law.
3. Use it to buy or sell and no more not filing taxes. In fact, maybe no more need for the IRS which costs taxpayers trillions of dollars a year to prepare income taxes ever year. Think of the savings.
4. No more dirty money under the table.
5. Health histories implanted in it will cut medical costs and make things much more efficient.
6. No more pass words to remember, assuming that computers can identify you once you sit down to use them.

And the list goes on and on.

Those who oppose it will be seen as a religious nut who is opposing progress......as usual.

At least Raj will take the mark.

I'm ready though to endure whatever I have to by refusing to take the mark.

It's in the Bible. The carnage will be unprecedented.

And it will be an eerily spooky place spiritually speaking too.

I think Kelly and I were talking about different things.

I was speaking about the times when the Mark of the Beast arrives, once that occurs the worst occurs.

There are many downsides old chap. For example, targeted advertising, where you will trigger personalized advertisements in every shop you enter. (Not to mention an existence of reduced human interactions).
