personally i think people have misinerpreted the book of revalations. in my bellief i fell it was speaking of the roman empire yet to come. yes the romans had control but were not at full power. then came nero who did what revelations spoke about. he made people worship him, those that did not were killed or put on patmos(prison island), he had his own currency, the mark is'nt physical one more of a hypotheitical mark. to try to explain that, when you follow the republican or democratic parties you place a mark upon yourself as either or, same there. you either are going to pledge allegiance to him(the beast, ie ceaser) or you will be his enemy and therefore be put to death or put in prison. those who followed him were allowed to buy, sell and trade. those that did not were not. but mine and 2 million other people in the world who share the same view as i do will be flamed and told we do not know what we're talking about. well, my cousin did some research on the subject and found a great deal of info behind the meanings of revelations. i won't bore anyone with my thoughts on this any longer.
as for the chip, i hear it can cause infection and if not removes immidiately can cause the arm or hand to be amputated. personally, aint noone gonna put no chip in my body. we are not designed to have comp chips put into us. no sir, not gonna do it.
