Sign of the beast is comming(I am not religous at all)

[HashiriyaS14]

It is historical fact that towards the end of the Italian Renaissiance, the Illuminati infiltrated the ranks of the Freemasons and worked through their organization for awhile.

Does this mean that modern Freemasonry is an evil organization? Of course it doesn't, nor do I believe that the Illuminati continues to exist. The Illuminati wanted to ruin the Catholic Church, not take over the world.

This does not mean that I am conspiracy-less though, The Bilderberg thing scares me a teensy bit.

As far the the "sign of the beast", I have heard a lot about this microchip implant thing. It is nothing new. They have been implanting similar devices in house pets for more than a decade. It is believed that at certain levels of military and government intel, it is required. There is no official documentation of this particular "conspiracy", but if it were true, it would make sense.

Yeah the pet thing is just to desensitize us to the idea of chips. Conning us into believing they are good. However when they become mandatory that is when we revolt. Take out as many people as we can!

For the record Looney, I've seen the end result of an R6 "drifting".

Well, that is if you consider dumping the bike sideways and sliding under a cargo van, drifting.

RIDE BLUE!!!!

Jesus said he will come like a thief in the night (for us belive the Christain faith). Which ruffly translates into he won't be posting his return on an internet web site, and the evening news to give us a heads up.

I believe that God is in control. He gives us freewill, but that doesn't mean he can't & won't lay the smack down whenever necessary!Supid people God

That is referring to the Rapture. Not everyone will ascend straight into His Kingdom and that is in His word too.

I love the Bible.... Its a great work of FICTION.

[hannibal]

The bible says you wont be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast. People have thought this could take many forms, the latest being implanted chips.The Mexican govt has been using implanted chips to identify high ranking officials. Their excuse for using such technology was to prevent corruption in the govt.

Masons are pretty interesting. If theyre all about doing good for the community, why the hell are they so secretive??

You know what I dont understand? Why you are intentionally trying to incite anger or argument among people who are obviously religious. Quite simply, that was an extremely uninformed, ignorant, and rude comment.

To make you ask questions like that.

But seriously, it's a pretty common phenomenon. Fraternities of all sorts have been doing it for a couple thousand years. It is a level of distinction and commonality between people. For the Masons specifically, it is part of their fundamental beliefs. "To be one ASK one".

They are not seeking members, they are interested in those seeking enlightenment.

I believe the bible to be the truth. Also, in the email notification that I got for this post, it reads "I love the Bible.... Its a great work of NON-FICTION." Did someone edit this post?

[HashiriyaS14]

Is that how Masonry works? You need to ask a Mason? I'm sort of interested in it, but I wasn't sure if you are supposed to actively show interest or just wait to get "tapped".

If anyone I know is a Mason, they're keeping it pretty quiet.

[creophus]

Yeah, ask around. I have a friend who is a mason and he won't go into much detail unless you ask him about it. Of course he doesn't actually tell me anything other than there are meetings where you can bring visitors.

[JT_MONEY_2004]

likewise, the mason's i've met have been very secretive in their words and actions, I dont believe for a second these guys are all do-gooders, cause a few i know toted guns, smoked drugs and wasn't about S**T, as far as i could tell, they certainly weren't building habitats for humanity.

Frankly,the chip thing worries me, for the same reasons it does many other people. Sometimes coincidence is more than just coincidence...sometimes its real and what's supposed to happen. The thing that worries me most it that they use things we find necessary against us. I personally think it'll start w/ the "weak" in society. I mean those in need, for example, If you were to make the chip mandatory to recieve certain benefits, then the first poeple they would corner would be the poor and old. People needing state and federal help, WIC, Foodstamps, section 8 housing and such. They'd get the other's thru travel restrictions and such.

For the guy who commented that he has "faith that society won't let this happen." are YOU gonna let it happen? You're society also, and the burdon weighs as much on you as anyone esle.

REMEMBER TO VOTE YA'LL... ON THE ISSUES.

First of all, I don't think you give NICOnauts in general enough credit, so far at least, if anyone has been incited to anger by that statement they've held it in check and everyone, as always has done a GREAT job remaining rational in their discussion.

Also, I don't think uninformed and ignorant come into play here. Sure, it was rude, as the subscribers to this thread area all obviously religious to some degree, but uninformed and ignorant? Where can we find information that proves the Bible other than in the Bible itself? Due to the ludicrous nature of religion in general, not just Christianity, the Bible has to rely on demanding faith to maintain a good following. I've got nothing against Christians really, I just hate religion as the basis of most of the world's problems. I mean my dad is a minister, and I followed the religion for a long time until I reached the crucial 'test your beliefs' turning point. I guess the Councils of Nicaea and the hypocrisy evident in the Bible just turned me away from it. To each his own.

P.S. I'll hold off on the chip for a little while to see what happens to other people first =D

Edit: I wanted to add a space and a p.s.

Sums up my thoughts exactly on this matter.

I dont really have anything against the Shriners in general but there was this one mean one that pelted me and couple of my friends with peppermints one time .
