Having read the Bible doesn't mean you must be religious
Believing that the Book of Revelations has some sort of prophetic insight and that warnings about the Mark of the Beast or the Antichrist have any relevance at all does mean you must be religious.
Invasive idiocy.

That was my first thought, if you want smaller than a badge, then maybe a ring or bracelet should be tried before an implanted device!
I can't think of any benefits here that a ring/bracelet wouldn't provide, plus the added benefit of removability without surgery.

Finding relevance to the modern events in ancient books doesn't imply religious belief.

They are normalizing mechanisms of maximal control. Just like the perp walk of innocents in airports. Chipping is what we do to cattle. And of course, a simple hospital style bracelet would afford a substantially larger surface area for embedding of technology.
I am not religious, but I got enough religious programming in Sunday school that this scares the shiznitz out of me. When this embedded human chip becomes a requirement, I'm moving to an underground bunker Revelations 13:16: And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17: so that no one could buy or sell unless he…
>I am not religious, but (bullshit nonsense from Revelations about the Mark of the Beast) You appear not to understand how "not being religious" works.
Just think about how often Franklin's "Liberty vs Safety" is quoted here and around the rest of the internet.
Or how often people like to compare the world to 1984 or Brave New World.
I got one of these implanted in my wrist around ten years ago. AMA?
Does it use active RFID, or passive? If the former, when does the battery die? If the latter, is it possible for someone to burn you from inside by emitting the right microwave frequency with enough power?
I guess this is always the case. No need for chips.
>And for me it's just a matter of I like to try new things and just see it as more of an enabler and what that would bring into the future Please do not normalize this shit and drag the rest of us down into your dystopian horror film with you.
calling it "shit" that needs to be "normalized" without any basis for this claim whatsoever sorta makes it seem like the dystopianism is within you, and not in the thing itself, huh?
