well, that is the opinion of some. I don't really think christians will be raptured first (I could be wrong). From what I understand, the idea that the rapture comes first came from a girl who had a dream about that and became fanatical about it.
I'm not too worried about it really. I'm sure times will be hard if we are forced to have some form of implanted ID system. I guess we'll just have to farm or something haha.
there are some people who believe RFID chips are the mark of the beast.
and it almost fits for the most part:
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a MARK in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the MARK, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev. 13:16-18
although it also mentions that you can also name the beast or know his number, so I don't know how accurate this is, but I've read about a computer system that stores all kinds of information from bar codes and stuff named Bavarian Economic Accounting Statistics Terminal (B.E.A.S.T. for short)
There are a few other tie ins such as the bible mentions those wearing the mark will have blisters and sores on the skin where the mark is. This is possibly caused by the body rejecting the RFID chip.
I know it may sound alittle crazy, but just think about it before you put these in your skin, don't wanna unleash the wrath of God on yourself because you didn't heed a fellow slashdotter's warning;-)

I just happened to have some play doh here at my desk, so I started playing with it. I guess to celebrate the 50 years, woopie!
