Thanks for adding this

[-] prole 3 points 1 week ago

Oh wow the dude kept adding to it. I remember reading this a couple of years ago, but it is kind of crazy that it just keeps going.

Ha ha, oh now things are getting a little feisty and controversial. I love a good meme that starts a fire. Nice……very nice.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago

I remember the first time I heard someone use that phrase Mark of the Beast. It was by a conservative who commented online in the pre-9/11 internet, and it was in relation to a new article discussing the possibility of using RFID chips in humans for very specific reasons. Pets have been having RFID implants to help find them when they get lost.

The guy insisted that these chips are the mark of the beast and he would rather die than get them.

I don't know if he is still around, but he if he is, he is probably someone who thinks Bill Gates is the devil for wanting to chip people but think Elon Musk is awesome for the same.

Lol back in the mid-90s, there were people at my evangelical church that believed credit cards were the mark of the beast. Credit cards.

I'm pretty sure they all still had them though.

I mean, they're not wrong. Enabling lower-income people to impulsively take on high-interest debt is one of the main factors perpetuating wage slavery.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Mine was convinced it was barcodes. Standard barcodes.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Completely ridiculous. Everyone knows it's only QR codes that are the mark of the beast!

The Mark of Mr. Beast

Completely ridiculous. Everyone knows that barcodes belong to the back of the head, not forehead.

[-] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago

A thing assigned to you that's in your hand or your head that's needed to engage in commerce? That's...umm...I can see where they could get that idea, especially with the rise of online sales.

Pets have been having RFID implants to help find them when they get lost.

Just a small correction, microchips in pets are there to identify them and identify who their owner is. They don't have any geolocation capabilities, its equivalent to hiding an SD card under their skin.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Yes thank you. Memory is rusty. But I am sure you can understand since it was literally 24 years ago...

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

I'm generally opposed to quotes from that awful fuckin' book, but context here works.

[-] prole 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It really is just a bad book... Like religious beliefs and politics aside, it's just not good reading.

The only people who think it is haven't read any other book in their adult lives.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You'd think an all-knowing being ought to be able to write a compelling book. Instead we get one filled with the worst crimes, yet it somehow manages to be soul-crushingly boring. You ever try to read it? Most people only manage a couple pages a day, and that's considered devout commitment to it.

the power of gold^tm^ christianity would say blasphemy.

not enough gold linings.

Non-Christian and non-Bible person here, but I think it's probably best to be accurate about citing these things:

Revelation 13:16-17 King James Version

16 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:

17 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.

Source: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+13%3A16-17&version=KJV which also lets you switch around between other versions of the passage.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

You won't be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast. Think crypto chip.

[-] tacobellhop@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

Forehead or wrist. Yeah so neural link barcode or starve basically

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

So Musk is the Famine horseman, got it… Obligatory "fuck this timeline"

[-] ericatty@infosec.pub 5 points 1 week ago

Someone commented somewhere that I can't find now... Trump as Plague (covid, firing bird flu, ebola teams), Putin as War, and Netanyahu as Death. With Doge also trying to end USAid, Snap, contracts and programs our farmers rely on, and Social Security... that tracks well for Famine.

I don't believe in it, but the idea haunts me that people are trying to force it to happen.

[-] tacobellhop@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

Regardless of the literature I think there’ll be another point soon where it will be undeniably obvious to people that lines are drawn in the sand and at that point it’s too late.

[-] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

not yet. soon, buy not quite yet.

[-] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

They should sell this hat. Id buy it. 🤣

[-] prole 2 points 1 week ago

I would buy it too, if even just to display

[-] RaptorBenn@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

What is the mark of the beast? 666?

[-] prole 3 points 1 week ago

No, that's the number of the beast. BIG difference.

Lol jk they're both stupid bullshit

[-] prude@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The mark of the beast is orange spray tan.

[-] RaptorBenn@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago
