Andypants,
I know that there were some heated arguements umonst those with sight. But I am adding this link where you had forseen alot. We just got so into differance of religion that we lost sight of what we were trying to do. To protect and serve. I too had said it rather harshly than I usually do. Instead of respecting your insight. In this area I am growing. The thing that has me all mixed up is the chip, if this would really damn our soul why if it is physical? Could not a Christian stop attending church, and do things to survive, but love his God in his heart? Will a chip really hurt the spirit? I always seen the chip as a way to track, and in that area I didn't like them. Like monitoring every where we go, like what they give people to wear on their ankle who are on house arrest. That is what I do not like about it. That is what strikes fear into my heart.
Could we talk these gifts without all the strong feelings of our own personal beliefs of who God is? I am sorry for any hurt feelings I may caused.
Safe Journey
