Oh brother....

They said the same thing about Social Security numbers... and grocery store barcodes.

[SquirrelKing]

I thought the bar code was the Mark of the Beast.

Or maybe Gorbachev's birthmark?

[Drango]

conflict with Christian beliefs

Say what? Any validity he had on the other points (and he had some) are now hogwash.

[Firefigher NC]

It's not the mark of the beast but the national ID still stinks.

""I don't want the information about my personal life put in a public record for anybody to get a hold of who can hack into a computer," Paugh said."

Nor do I.

The Bible's book of Revelation describes the beast system and "mark of the beast," warning that numbering people signals the arrival of the Antichrist.

He may be onto something. This afternoon, just as I was assigned a number at my supermarket's deli counter, I felt a distinct aura of evil emanating from the salami display.

warning that numbering people signals the arrival of the Antichrist

Not quite! It will be after the Antichrist comes to power that his false prophet will make people take the beast's mark. That said, I don't doubt that a national ID could possibly set up the stage for the day when the mark of the beast is required. But, for now, there's nothing anti Christian in a national ID.

It doen't count unless they make you stick the ID on the back of your hand or forehead.

[RichInOC]

You mean this...

...isn't the Mark of the Beast?

[nmh]

I don't worry about this. I won't be here.

1Thes.4:17

[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

All this will take place over He takes His own home.

[Paloma_55]

They don't realize that fighting the prophesy is NOT what they are supposed to do.

They are supposed to embrace it, like HE did.

[TheHound]

Is there some reason I should oppose this? I cannot think of one.

[hosepipe]

Mark of the beast = Democrat voter registration..

[Former Fetus]

How about this Biochip ?

[Leatherneck_MT]

Screw the Govt and the Real ID.

Close our Borders and start clearing out illegals and then Maybe.

[AndyTheBear]

The Bible's book of Revelation describes the beast system and "mark of the beast," warning that numbering people signals the arrival of the Antichrist. People who accept the mark are defying God, Paugh believes.

This is a heck of a stretch. There are many, many elements that need to come together, prophetically speaking, to signal the Antichrist. This isn't even close.

This guy seems to be a quack at eschatology. I hope he is better at preaching the Gospel.

[Sarajevo]

So residents who don't have the new IDs won't be allowed to board a plane or enter a federal building without one.

Hmmmm, no jury duty, no reporting to federal tax court, AND HEY! I can't go to federal prison, I won't have the new ID...../sarc

[quietolong]

Not the only thing getting "Marked"

Just wait tel the thought chip is gets out of the lab.

Does the federal Real ID Act provide financial penalties such as "if your state refuses to comply with the Real ID Act, your state will lose federal highway funds and federal education funds"? If so, would states who pass anti-Real ID Act laws end be being successfully "pressured" into accepting it?
