Specifically this section
"Mark of commerce
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
� Rev. 13:16-17 (NIV)
Futurist Christian eschatology typically holds that the Mark of the Beast is one way in which the Antichrist will exercise power over the Earth during the period of Tribulation, because of the prophetic statement in Revelation 13:16-17 that "the Beast" (θηριον) will require all people to receive the mark (χάραγμα "branded mark or character") in their right hands or foreheads in order to buy or sell, making survival for those on the run much more difficult. A possible translation of the meaning of the number 666 may be: the number 666 will be the number that all currency will be based upon. Exact interpretations of this vary widely. For example:
* Some Christians interpret the mark as a requirement for all commerce to mean that the mark might actually be an object with the function of a credit card (eg. RFID).
* Steven D. Miller proposes that the mark of the beast may refer to a social security number or card.
* Terry Watkins supposes the mark to be a microchip and or barcode on the human body."
and in answer to her statement, no I don`t, as I neither belive or follow the bible nor do I subscribe to the whole "New World Order" conspiracy.

A spokesman for the UK Borders Agency said: �We will not tolerate anyone who comes here to play the system, which is why we are rolling out identity cards for all foreign nationals. These cards will help us stop people illegally accessing benefits and make it easier to crack down on illegal working.
That's good enough for me.

I have one as i live in spain im a foreigner .Iam an extranjero which is a resident foreigner.i dont object to it as all the spanish nationals have 1 from the age of 16 i believe.its used to cash cheques as id for credit cards as id for the bank for getting loans etc .infact anywhere id is required its perfect.contains all the details like a drivers licence does.
fantastic idea and cost me 4 euros for the pictures and 7 eyros for the card. the spanish have one like a bank card with a chip in it with all your iinfo.the best thing ive noticed since living here 3 years.
no need to cost what the uk government say .tell them to ask the spanish for help.
IVE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE SO AN ID CARD IS PERFECT

ID cards in Spain do not seem to be helping the Spanish fight terrorism. Police station blown up yesterday, two coppers killed by bomb on Mallorca today.
Typical response from the anti-ID card brigade.
Of course no card, no amount of surveillance or anything else for that matter will completely bring acts of terrorism to a complete halt, but if ID cards can help to reduce these acts in some way, or trace some of the perpetrators of crime they must at least be given a try.
I would go one step further and make everyone register along with fingerprints and DNA. This would aid the police to trace anyone suspected of a crime, and we would also know who is legally allowed to be in the country.
I know, I know the shout will go up, some will counterfeit these cards, maybe but even now certain documents are already counterfeited, along with Bank Notes etc. but have you ever seen one?
