Fearing digital media because it will place the mark of the beast upon your flesh:
A 22-year veteran kindergarten teacher in the Texas Bible Belt could lose her job for refusing, on religious grounds, to give fingerprints under a state law requiring them.
The evangelical Christian, Pam McLaurin, is fighting a looming suspension, claiming that fingerprinting amounts to the “Mark of the Beast,” and hence is a violation of her First Amendment right to practice her religion.
Didn't this come up during the early 1980s, around some idea to tattoo people after nuclear attack?
