What are your thoughs on the Mark of the Beast?

The book of revelation is a bunch of garbage put in by early Christians with the intent to control people.

Early Christians and Protestants doubted it. The only people who like it as modern fire and brimstone assholes who can't wait for the rapture so their neighbor who leaves dog poop on their lawn will get his.

So, no different that the rest of the book.

It is the Apple watch obviously. Can easily be confused with a mark on the back of the hand in a blurry vision. Used to buy things, a status symbol, Apple has a cult like following... Apple is the antichrist? ohh, it all makes sense now...

We can joke about technology but we are getting ever closer to a time where people can be monitored from practically anywhere. Do you think that you have privacy in your home right now? Take away your telephones, computers, smart TV's and gaming consoles do you think that your home is secure? Your smart meter reports your electric use constantly and even breaks it down so you can see what appliances or activities consume your power. Using this technology the government can know when a person is in a residence from the change in use alone. Don't say a word but heat up lunch and the meter has you. How many other things are being used against you in this manner?

Often times things have more than one use and even though you never consider it the fact remains that others have hence multipurpose appliances. Surveillance equipment works in the same way and if you don't know what it is you will welcome it as something you know. The military has been using power use profiling for decades as they attempt to determine what the other guy is doing based upon energy usage. How many times does the government mandate a piece of electronics that we perceive to have one use when it actually has many uses? Just something to think about.
