Part of my point is if you look at it from a religious standpoint (yes I know, not many people do, and makes me look like a zealot to many here, but oh well) is that the "poison" would be a selling point for a "world potentate". It would also be a good way of tracking people down who have gone off and started thinking for themselves...almost seems a little 1984-ish or Big Brother-ish

I agree, this is some creepy shit. What will happen when the christians refuse to accept it? (when it does start to hit the public) will we be cast out of society? My dad and his cronies used to discuss this a lot.

Well, I'm 99% sure that Steppenwolf is right, to an extent. But according to the whole idea of rapture, 7 years, anti-christ, etc...yes we will, and then you will need to go into hiding b/c if you don't take it then you will be executed. BTW, the belief of Christians (backed up in Revelation 13) is that you must have the mark to buy/sell/trade, thus making currency obsolete.

Well well. In that case, my family is gonna go out with shot guns in our hands. 2 for each person. They're not going to put any chip in my body. I hope they like buck shot.

Yes, I've read the Left Behind Series, and its a great work of FICTION. I found it very interesting & quite enjoyable- though I still perfer my Stephen King Books.Some poeple take things a little to seriously and then rumors like this get started. I don't doubt something like this may be used in the future- way in the future. But just becuase Big Brother wants to keep an eye on us- not at a "mark" from the anti-christ.Christ, you read the article yourself I hope- the best place are the upper arm & the back- not the "designated" places bible thumpers predict.....

You can have your pets 'chipped' so when they go missing their details can be accessed easily. The tech aint new anyhow and it doesen't have to run on a lithium battery, it'd be a bit on the big side don't ya think? I could see this kinda thing being used instead of cards...who knows, the signature is only just obselete.

You apparently have it out for me.Go back and read the fact that I said this was interesting...nowhere did I say it was the mark, I said it had some similarities to what people believed that to be.BTW, fiction is often times based on extremely accurate past truths.

It's so difficult to interpret Revelation--who knows what the passage may actually mean?
-
While it is true that "666" in Hebrew numerology spells Nero, thats who they beilieved it was, the mark means basically that you will swear your allegiance to "the beast" not God. I tend to side more with The Left Behind books and feel that we will live in "regions" with designated numbers and that will be our mark, if you take it of course.

I think eventually it will be like star trek. Humans united.
