TextYes, there are people who take the piss out of the benefits system but there are also a lot of honest people, genuinely trying to find work and just get rejection after rejection after rejection. There was an article in 'The Sun' *cough*, about a bloke who had applied for 15,000 jobs over the course of 9 years and still, nobody gave him a friggin job. I got lucky, a well respected company finally took me on for my abilities but there are many people out there who simply cannot get a job, no matter how hard they try. Even people who have degrees etc.

TextIn all reality the Mark of the Beast is nothing physical. The newer bibles translated .......the mark ON yor right hand or ON your forehead . The correct translation is IN your right hand and IN your forehead . This simply means of you are not following Christs teachings then you have the mark IN your forehead or in your brain because you are unwittingly following Satan and not Christ . If you have it in your right hand then you are actively doing Satans work for instance to be an evangelical atheist . So no real mark just action or lack of action.
The above quote is my answer on the mark of the beast so in reality a good Christian that loves God can get a chip , tattoo 666 across his forehead and it means nothing . My quote above is the truth of Gods word and I probably should not have added the mark of the beast to my title . My intentions were to gt the discussion going and then show people the truth of this bible verse and how main stream religion teaches many parts of Gods word wrong making Gods word void by the traditions of men.

You are in the camp of belief that the passage is symbolic and and not literal. While I agree we should keep our hands clean and work on keeping our minds pure, the danger is what if you are wrong? Were a scenario to arise where compulsory RFID chipping in the right hand or forehead become a reality would you stand in line for it with clean hands and a pure mind? Just something to consider.

Dangerous IMO.
So because some have taken this passage more literal you can dismiss it as them following the traditions of men? You could say that about any meaning of any passage of the bible if someones take on it is different than yours. I believe this to be more literal...but I also admit I may be wrong, what makes you so certain, so dogmatic?
they should add " as well as others, great pain and sorrow
International Standard Version (©2008)
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, in their eagerness to get rich, have wandered away from the faith and caused themselves a lot of pain.
