Ebbie:
Regarding your points. It's no shame growing up in a fundy household, the shame of any household is being taught to believe simply because and that shame goes across the scale. Your points:

1) The ancients did not know of a microchip, which puts no mark on the hand or the head. The ancients knew of branding. (And not all brands are physical, ask Chuck Connors).

2) Agree with every word.

3) Valid fear, across the board. As long as their are governments instituted by and on men and women, this will be a point in contention.
