Of course, even to me it is logical. I mean, a chip in the hand for example is so much more convenient to scan than a chip in the shoulder, you don't need a wallet, it will act as your ID, no worries about credit card fraud, forgeting your wallet, or worry about being robbed, and so much illegal activity will decrease, because a LOT of illegal activity is dependant on cash changing hands.
Unless robber gangs start going around and chopping off people's body parts so they can cash in.
Jesus taught that we can only serve one of two masters, he didn't say God and the devil as most would think would be the logical masters we would have a choice in serving. No, he said very plainly, that the choice is between GOD or MONEY.
Yes, the God of Christianity is oftentimes interpreted as an all good God. I equate Jesus with the concept of Asha in Zoroastrianism which interprets to everything that is good including truth. Jesus is called "the truth, the light, and the way." The way I see it when Christians go around telling people to accept Jesus as their lord and savior, I don't even think they know what they're saying, because all that really should equate to is the truth, and all that good stuff. The truth brings light, and light shows us the way to make our choices. It's not meant to turn Christians against Buddhists for example because they don't believe in a God called Jesus. It's supposed to instill the importance of recognizing the truth in men.
There's nothing wrong with money unless it's dirty money. Money that is being made, for example, through extorting cultures, exploiting cultures, defrauding and defaming cultures. It's one of the basic principles of unfair competition.
There is also a viewpoint that prophecies are essentially timeless, and have multiple fulfillments in different ways at different times; so that the "Antichrist" could be Nero AND the Umayyad caliph AND a nasty king of Persia AND Napoleon AND Hitler AND somebody who will be emerging shortly, without any of those people being "reincarnations" of each other, just instances of a single archetype.
Why's the king of Persia the only nasty one out of the lot?
