You're probably are not aware, but I generate supplemental income by completing surveys on-line. Well one of these surveys rather freaked me out. It was concerning my opinions regarding the use of biometric chips in making purchases. http://singularityhub.com/2009/07/02/will-your-id-soon-be-a-microchip-under-your-skin/ , http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/08/13/want-an-rfid-chip-implanted-into-your-hand-heres-what-the-diy-surgery-looks-like-video/, http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/news/surveillance/2007-07-21-chips_N.htm Now at first at least, this new technology will be voluntary, and used by the private sector, in lieu of credit/debit cards. See, the excuse given for turning the body into a human debit card, instead of just doing it the old fashioned way, is that the cards might be compromised by identity theft. So tying the RFID chip to something personal, such as the imprint of a vein, or fingerprint, would supposedly be securer. Plus, the companies that administer this will even offer special deals to those whom agree to get injected with this digital technology. What might be called the proverbial carrot approach. However, as a libertarian, I am concerned about the possibility of some potential corporative state http://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/business/corporative-state.html gaining access to this personal information. Not only my financial transactions, but also my personal actions, such as my location, and movements. And even more alarming is the prospect, however dubious perhaps, that some sort of religio-political cult might take power, and mandate that everyone not only get injected with this sort of microchip, but also get tattooed with a certain symbol. As one might expect, Christians, based upon this one passage in the Book of Revelations https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+13%3A15-18&version=NIV., fear that this might be part of receiving the "mark of the beast" http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_implants06.htm Now, I suppose that my atheist followers, on this page, will scoff at this prospect. After all, it would seem that there are parts of the Bible, pertaining to end time prophecy, that are anachronistic. For instance, the verses that state that the ones whom nailed Jesus to the cross will be amongst those who shall see him returning in the clouds. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/exploringourmatrix/2012/04/every-eye-shall-see-him-even-those-who-pierced-him.html Clearly the author of this book of the Bible, among others, expected that Jesus Christ would return to this world sometime within his lifetime. In fact they have written as much http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/says_about/end.html So it would be understandable if people were to simply dismiss all of this as being ancient dystopian fiction. However, to quote The Clash, in their song "London Calling" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfK-WX2pa8c, "You know what they said? Well some of it was true.". Plus, as this Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Du5K49db0 illustrates, there is currently a would be antichrist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV_3qvR55xs, whom wants to use such microchips to control the population, and wants to slowly torture to death those who refuse it. So that's the potential proverbial stick. That some megalomaniac wacko might try to self fulfill biblical end times prophecy, by treating Revelations as if it were a script to follow, in establishing a totalitarian "new world order". So look, I myself am a deist, more than anything, and I do not believe that God is a person, and/or that any one person could ever personally embody God. As John Lennon put it, in his song "Instant Karma" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqP3wT5lpa4, "Who on earth do you think you are, a super star? Well right you are.But we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well, we all shine on
Everyone," We all have souls, that are made in the "image of God". So therefore, as the Bible itself states, to a lesser degree anyway, we are all gods https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+82:6, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+10%3A33-34&version=NIV . So no one has the right to exalt himself over others. We all have by rights free agency, and self government, which are bestowed upon us by the one true God of nature, mentioned in America's Declaration of Independence. And I shall never collaborate with, and/or capitulate to the New World Order, by taking it's mark. If this is ever mandated by the political power that be, in order for me to engage in commerce, then I shall become an agorist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agorism. And furthermore, I expect that I'd be carrying out revolutionary resistance, until either the antichrist is defeated, or the messianic age of justice is brought about http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/judaica/ejud_0002_0014_0_13744.html, http://www.myjewishlearning.com/beliefs/Theology/Afterlife_and_Messiah/messianic-concept-reform-judaism.shtml. In doing so, I'd be carrying out the historic work of the zealots http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/judaica/ejud_0002_0021_0_21428.html, http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/15185-zealots.
