I'll be hiding in the woods when they try to force this kinda crap on me. Owning guns and a decent supply of ammo doesn't sound so bad when you think about it. But unfortunately there are a lot of factors to something like this happening. Time will tell and I'm keeping my guns.

18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.

What I've always wondered about this so-called mark of the beast, is how could God condemn all to hell who get this mark? It doesn't even make sense to me that an all wise all loving creator would condemn those who are forced to get the mark in order to eat and survive.
That's why I don't think the mark is physical at all. I think it must be more a way of thinking or of living one's life. If you live a materialistic self centered life, not caring much for anyone but your own needs or your own interests, I feel you may have the mark already, and not even know it.
Perhaps even a life that denies God exists would earn one the mark. How common is that these days to not believe in the Creator. It seems to be the main stream way of thinking for many.
At any rate, I don't believe the whole mark of the beast thing is being interpreted correctly. It just can't be a literal mark and nothing more. It must be a way of living one's life that either denies God or denies your fellow humans or both that earns one the mark.
Less ego and more brotherly love is what I want to hear from those who choose the way of light. Are you with me my brothers and sisters? Will it be love or fear? compassion or selfishness? giving or taking? wisdom or ignorance?
I say YOU choose by your actions and what's truly in your hearts, and you decide if you bear the mark or not by these actions.
