Such as the new OnStar that can be put into cars--they can totally stop your vehicle. Right now it is billed as a unique way to stop thiefs but, it could stop a Christian from fleeing for their lives later too.

Why are you asking only Christians? Why not ask Buddhists or Jews or Muslims? Why not ask atheists?
Why would I want to flee for my life? I have done nothing wrong and don't intend to.

I'm always concerned about the 'use' of technology. I think we should be. We can't just blindly accept whatever anybody wants to do. I think we should be advised of the uses of such technology, and the 'possible abuses'! Then, I believe the American public should vote on whether they want it or not. In fact, in the case of the OnStar technology, I think if there are some people that want it in their cars, so be it, but I think there should be a lever or something in the car, so the people that 'don't want it, can disingage it themselves.

Onstar is nice for directions and all, but I can read a map. Onstar is just another way for the government to be in our lives. Even without Onstar the government still tracks us thru our cars. How? The computer in vehicles records everything you do, how fast you go, how often you wear your seat belt, etc

I'm not a Christian, but I'm not a fan of these technologies, either. I'm a huge proponent of privacy rights, and the invasive technologies coming out recently really, really frighten me. *Everyone* should worry about new technology!
By the way, since Christians make up the religious majority in the U.S., I highly doubt that they will have to "flee for their lives" anytime soon....

yes im concerned about this movement. im not sure when im going to be fleeing for my life in the near future - or why an non-christians wouldnt have to do the same under the same circumstances.
consider the fact that our last 3 presidents were all "Christians" who are the key perpetrators of this 'big brother' age.

Being that we are in the end of days, it is common knowledge that persecution will increase upon believers till the coming of the Lord.
All this man made technology is mere tools of the devil that he will use to deceive the hearts of men so he can steal their souls.
Jesus said that when we are taken in front of persecuters, judges, rulers, not to give heed as to what we will say. For he said the Holy Spirit will come upon us and that which is spoken will be of the will of the Father.
So as long as are rooted in God's Word, in faith, in love, and covered by the blood of the lamb, we shall overcome all the world puts against us.
For greater is he who is in us then he who is in the world.
Rev. 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Its called not buying Onstar.
Or getting it removed.
Or breaking the damn thing.
Its only bigbrother esque when they start making people buy it.
And christians have the least to fear from Onstar.

Why would a Christian have to flee for their lives. They are the ones who chase other people.
