Dunno, but he was remarkably reluctant to go on the school day trip to Guildford cathedral.

(One for the film nerds, that one. That's 'movie' nerd for Suzianne.)

Not sure what movie this refers to, but this cathedral seems very nice, I'd like to visit if I ever make it to London.

Is it Anglican, or something more multi-denominational? (It seems Anglican, but the website doesn't actually say.)

Microchipping pets is commonplace here in the US, countless lost pets are returned to their owners every year because most all vets and shelters and municipal and county dog pounds have scanners that can read the info on the chip.

Not the same, nor for the same reason, as putting these in humans.

I believe this is the OP's contention.

I don't have enough information to come to that exact conclusion yet, but it seems likely. More likely than the mark being a roman coin in Nero's time.

Guildford Cathedral was the location for the scene in The Omen where the young Satan is taken to church by his parents and throws a fit until he is taken home.

I expect it's Anglican, as I went to an Anglican school quite close and we went on trips there from time to time.

So if they come out with any "mark" that gets implanted in your right hand or forehead, will you take the mark?

I met a lady the other day that keeps a flash drive on her medical bracelet. She said it helped save her life and pushes for others to have one.

Absolutely not.

That's a little different than an implanted microchip containing your banking information.

Okay, I've seen The Omen, but it was a long time ago.

Yes, I thought it seemed Anglican to me, too.

Edit: and Damien is not a "young Satan". He is supposed to be the AntiChrist.

I am happy to be corrected, it was a long time since I saw the film also.

Though, in my defence, Christians haven't exactly been of one voice over who Christ is in relation to God, so whose to say? Maybe they are two parts of the Satanic Trinity?

This is of course not much different from having emergency numbers on your cell phone.
Of course your cell phone can be recorded by the NSA, any if it has GPS, your whereabouts can be tracked too.

99% of Christians understand that Jesus is the Son of God, but what we differ on is whether Jesus is Divine (Trinity concept).

As much as Satan tries to mimic God, I find he fails with the Trinity concept. I mean yeah, I get the God/Satan part and the Jesus Christ/AntiChrist part, but I don't understand what "satanic" character can be compared with the Holy Spirit.
