I’m trying to see where a database somehow translates to the “Mark of the Beast”? Where do they ‘sell their soul to the devil? Where do they renounce God?
People are so obsessed over the database part, they need to look instead for why the Mark is damning. It isn’t that it is a database, but what is required to take part in it.
I see none of that here.
Perhaps this is how it starts. Info gathering to account for everyone. Later, the info is used to require everyone on the db to be marked in exchange for loyalty to the beast. Then there is a db of those who are not processed. Hope it’s not in my lifetime.
Uhhhhhh
soooooooo
How many tiny steps do you estimate remain
from here
to there?
don't think you can exactly pigeonhole the role of information technology quite so smartly as that.
on the other hand, if you cannot see that information technology is the perfect enemy of liberty, ultimately, then you must make a living by it.
And you thought that it would be announced outright that the mark is swearing allegiance? You don’t think it will be a slow indoctrination to finally end up that the database is what you and they use to identify who is part of the “system”?
the “Mark” of the “beast” was the sesterii, denarii etc. Roman coinage that had the head of Nero (known as the beast) — it’s already happened.
