Virginia To Legislate Against The Anti-Christ

Filed in National by on February 10, 2010

From Daily Kos:

This seems reasonable enough:

RICHMOND, FEB. 9 — The House of Delegates is scheduled to vote Wednesday on a bill that would protect Virginians from attempts by employers or insurance companies to implant microchips in their bodies against their will.

But wait until to hear why some Delegates are supporting the measure:

It might also save humanity from the antichrist, some supporters think.

Del. Mark L. Cole (R-Fredericksburg), the bill’s sponsor, said that privacy issues are the chief concern behind his attempt to criminalize the involuntary implantation of microchips. But he also said he shared concerns that the devices could someday be used as the “mark of the beast” described in the Book of Revelation.

“My understanding — I’m not a theologian — but there’s a prophecy in the Bible that says you’ll have to receive a mark, or you can neither buy nor sell things in end times,” Cole said. “Some people think these computer chips might be that mark.”

Is this a problem that people in Virginia are seriously concerned about?

    That spinning sound is Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington spinning in thier graves. The superstious dumbfucks that they rebelled against have won.

    You got that right.

    If this was a just world, the ghosts of Washington and Jefferson would come back just to bitchslap the Virginia legislature.

    And in the meantime, NoVa roads are still a major clusterfuck — one that they still can’t get their minds around fixing.

    There should be an intelligence test before people like Cole are even allowed to run for office. This is a huge waste of taxpayer money.

  4. Or, viewed differently, this is legislation that requires the reasonable accommodation of employee religious beliefs and respect for their bodily integrity.

    Or do you believe your boss should be permitted to chip you like you were a beagle adopted from the local animal shelter?
