The Bible’s book of Revelation is a lot shorter (12,000 words) and it isn't fiction. See Revelation chapters 13, 14, 19, 20.
Those who do not take the mark of the beast receive special blessing — see Revelation 20:4.
Blessing only comes to those who’ve placed their faith in the finished work of Christ, not in their own works. See tag.
For some odd reason, I think that people who would happily be chipped would also happily point and scream like Pod People if you started reading the Bible to them.
Maybe the chip will also tell them to report Christians.
