According to AL.com, “His objection to voter ID, Joshua Wahl said, was that he believed all biometric identification, including photos that could be used for facial recognition programs, to be the mark of the beast foretold in Revelation. ‘In particular, I object to the biometric nature of IDs in Alabama which started pursuant to the REAL ID Act,’ Joshua Wahl testified. ‘And there’s a passage in Revelations 12 where it says that the forthcoming mark of the beast will be a number of a man. Biometrics by its nature is a number of a man. You know, that’s what makes me uncomfortable, and that goes against my convictions.’”
Of course, the Wahl family sued, claiming Alabama’s voter ID law discriminates against their religious beliefs. Thankfully, they lost in the 11 Circuit Court of Appeals, but it could still make its way to SCOTUS. The more significant point here is that morons in America believe such nonsense as the “mark of the beast.” I’ve been hearing this crap all my life. Everything is the mark of the beast: SSN, driver’s license, vaccines, paying taxes. America should not tolerate such idiocy. Welcome to stupid America! I thought 666 was the magic number.
