I’ve been a proper hardcore atheist today, scouring the net for things not to believe.
And there really is a wealth of them. The problem is that this blog is so easily suckered into believing that spoof sites are real that it’s hard to credit that some of these exist. It’s quite tough to work out which rapture ready site is funnier than the next.
Well, with my back covered when this turns out to be an abstract joke and not just a scam, this site must be close to a winner. It’s called Bible Prophesy: Mark of the Beast. (I’ve put the URL despite my best intentions, just to prove this site exists.)
666: The Mark of the Beast
What is it? Many Christians believe the 666 mark will be a biochip implant to create the cashless society of Revelation 13.
Why is it so bad? All who take the mark will be damned by God to be cast into the Lake of Fire.
Why will those who take the mark be damned? I think it’s because God made Silver and Gold as honest weights and measures to be used as money! Money is NOT paper (which is a promise), not electronic credits, not chips, not a mark, nor a number!
The Use of Paper Money Violates All of the Ten Commandments
For more on the nature of gold and silver and why they are real money, please read my other site, silverstockreport.com
Without quoting any more of this,basically, it says the Book of Revelation predicts bio-chips that will be used to store ID details and serve as money. But, these are the Mark of the Beast and anyone who gets one won’t be a candidate for the rapture.
Phew, glad I haven’t got one then.
(In fact, it’s a probably a stroke of luck that my access to folding money is so limited, given how rapture-unready use of non-metallic currency seems to be according to this site …..)
Wait, a lightbulb moment! Anyone looking for a good defence for not getting the new national ID card can probably claim to be a follower of this belief system. Where do I sign up?

Now that is confusing… When you consider the “interest” (all puns intended) that the Churches (of various flavours) have in money – in all it’s forms – it seems that there really will only be poor people in Heaven.
I am somewhat intrigued though. A paper is not money, why is there a problem with it? Did God not make the wood which became paper? Does human moulding of God’s materials make something sinful – in which case we could only use raw lumps of gold and silver as currency (and I presume raw wood chips…)
Lunacy is wonderful. Isn’t the internet great!
I thought the mark of the Beast already came via the three “01010” guard marks in UPC_A barcodes (UPC right-side 6 is 1010000).
