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."

    Personally I think Christians (practicing their faith in "loving others") are the best kind of citizen one can have. They follow the just laws, they pay taxes and help their fellow men.

    And they used to own slaves, then moved on to lynching and segregating blacks...and used scripture to justify it. Talk about moral relativism...
