NAtional ID is not the mark of the beast!
Calm down! I am a Christian and think it is a good idea.
You already need ID to drive a car hold a job and open a bank account!
National ID is a great idea! You dont need ID to buy things. You will not need ID to buy milk so don't freak out!

If a national ID card makes you a "slave to the world government," then I guess it's already too late for everyone with a passport or driver's license.
Get a grip on reality. If you want to freak out about "an issue that concerns freedom and privacy," you might try a real issue such as global terrorism.

I don't care too much for how much control the government is getting over the people, and for that reason, I don't care too much for the idea of the National ID card. But, I think it's pretty silly to get so worked up about it to think that it's some sign of the end of the world.
My Q is, so many Christians just LOVE Bush... why do they love him if he's helping to usher in the Mark of the Beast?

It was such a sorry mistake that the people of America voted that demon in.You are right this is just the beginning (with the card).Next you will have a micro chip inserted into your hand to be able to buy and sell.With out it you can't do diddley squat. But being a slave to the government is going down the wrong path.The people should refuse to do this and be on Gods side.

Why is it republicans spout off about wanting less government and then go set up more invasive, freedom-stealing claptrap?
Yeah, I think this may be Revelations too. I was just hoping I'd miss living through the end of the world. Oh well.
Peace. Peace on Earth. Peace in afterlife too.

Remember the mark of the beast is going to be in the palm of your hand, card, or in your forehead, chip. They are already putting the chip in your pets so they can be returned when lost and NOW they are going to try to do this to children for their PROTECTION.... This is all being applauded about and saying, "How good this will be for our kids. Now, no one will be able to take them from home with out us being able to find them fast." Playing straight into satans hands and his plans.
The issuing of cards at grocery stores and gas stations for cheaper grocery's and gas, was to make it easier for the government to issue this national ID card. If accepted, this is the mark of the beast!!!!!!!!! It will be in the PALM of YOUR hand. Think before you accept anything of this kind. Sure groceries are cheaper with the ones that we have now, but when you HAVE TO HAVE A CARD to live, I would rather die at their hands than to give my SOUL to satan.
AMERICANS and CHRISTIANS need to pray for all that will be subject to this terror.
It is coming SOON.

Pretty creepy. I'll have to read up on this...but no, sounds pretty baaad...unless you are an illegal immigrant.
This is even worse..
A US company has been given the green light to implant microchips in humans. It's intended to provide medical information ... but will it turn into a surveillance system?
How would you like to have the equivalent of a barcode built into your arm?
It would be convenient. A quick scan could save the need to show passports or ID cards. It would be handier than carrying cash or producing medical records.
And a particularly clever barcode would let people find you if you were lost or abducted.
Would it mean less hassle and more security? Or would it make you feel like a DVD tagged in the supermarket? Or like a criminal being monitored everywhere you went?
These are the questions being raised by the emergence of microchips that can be implanted in people's arms - with the technology moving from geeky future-gazing to a mainstream proposition.
VOTE
Would you want a chip in your arm?
Yes
For medical records only
No way
Results are indicative and may not reflect public opinion
This week, the United States Food and Drug Administration gave its approval for an implantable chip which can be used for medical purposes.
A microchip the size of a grain of rice can be inserted below the skin - and will carry an individual's medical records which can be read by a scanner.
The makers of the VeriChip say it will carry information that can save a patient's life during an emergency - such as details of medication, blood groups and allergies or if they have conditions such as diabetes.
In the UK, the British Medical Association says that it would see no ethical reason for not allowing such an implanted device, as long as it was proven to be safe and there was no coercion.
But there are other applications which are likely to be more contentious.
The implanted chip is about the size of a grain of rice
In a question and answer session, following the announcement of the FDA's approval, the Florida-based company behind the chip, Applied Digital, pointed to other commercial uses.
Security, which remains high on the US domestic agenda, is likely to be a key area for such microchips - offering the chance both to identify and track anyone carrying this type of implant.
Military bases, federal offices, prisons or nuclear plants were mentioned as places where the technology could be applied.
These internal microchips would be checked to regulate entry to secure locations. And once inside, scanners placed around the site would precisely locate the movements of each individual.
There would be no passes, ID cards or dog-tags, because all the information would be held on the chip lodged invisibly below the skin.
If this sounds far-fetched, access to a high-security crime database in Mexico is already being limited to the staff who have had a chip implanted.
While there might still be consumer resistance to getting part of a computer stuck in your arm - the underlying technology is already moving from the laboratory into the High Street.
Pet theory
"Radio frequency identification" chips have been attached to products in the supermarket to monitor shopping patterns.
US security
Implanted chips could control entry to secure buildings
And in response to fears about child abductions, several schools in Japan have experimented with tracking chips being put into pupils' clothing.
Even if we don't want to put microchips into ourselves, we're not squeamish about animals. Following the same basic principle, chips have been injected into millions of pets and farm animals.
But there have been concerns about how such technology could be abused and become a form of undisclosed surveillance, with movements and activities electronically monitored.
Last week, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) urged lawmakers in Virginia not to put such trackable chips into drivers' licences - arguing that it would breach people's privacy.
Such devices would allow the authorities "to sweep up the identities of everyone at a political meeting or protest march," says the ACLU.
In considering the potential threat to civil liberties, the UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner, says it is important to look at the underlying principles, rather than only the technology.
Threats to privacy
And a spokesperson says that much of the capacity to track people already exists - the question is how this information is used.
This "chipped" cat was registered in the US, but found in Oxfordshire
If anyone wanted to introduce such a system into the UK, there would need to be assurances that the information was not being used for any purpose other than clearly declared.
The Information Commissioner's office pointed to the current example of delivery drivers who are tracked using their mobile phones. This is deemed acceptable, as long it is being used for very specific business purposes.
But civil liberties campaigners, Liberty, warn that the arrival of such tracking chips needs to be matched by a tougher legal framework to protect people's privacy.
Spokesperson Barry Hugill says the law is lagging behind this accelerating technology - and that more questions need to be asked about how the information gathered will be used and protected.
"When the technology is so powerful it seems wrong that it should be left to multi-nationals to decide how it should be controlled."
Even though tracking chips are intended for legitimate commercial purposes, there are concerns about how this detailed information about people's movements could be collated and who might have access.
In the wrong hands it would be the "stalkers' dream", he says.

Carrying a card will not bother me. I already have to carry a card in order to legally drive a car. Having a microchip implanted in my skin I would not allow to be done even if it meant leaving the country and living elsewhere.

But you legally have to have your state id on you at all times, so really what is the difference?
Now they ask me to implant something or get a tattoo (not of my choosing) an I'm out of here!!!!
