Unique ID In India Causes 'Fear of the Beast'

Posted by timothy on from the seems-fair-enough dept.

bhagwad writes "India's attempts to tag everyone with an ID number has run into a roadblock is some Christian villages. Apparently the villagers fear they will be associated with the devil since according to the Bible, everyone having the 'mark of the beast' will go to hell. These people are not afraid of punishment. They relish this opportunity to prove their faith because the Bible also proclaims that they will be persecuted."

    Gays are allowed to marry a member of the opposite sex just like everyone else. And they are not allowed to marry someone of the same sex, just like everyone else.

    Really, I was not aware that homosexuals were not allowed to marry just like everyone else. They just aren't allowed to marry someone of the same sex, just like everyone else.

    Heterosexuals are not allowed to marry someone of the same sex any more than homosexuals are.
