Roger,
Onmight understand the orthodox Christian’s opposition to a national ID card (and there are millions of us) by considering the following:
1.) Human nature is baaaaad to the bone. The gathering and centralizing of data for such a project will entail the placing of such info in the hands of…who? Let us not also forget that any database can be hacked into. The Christian understands that people (govt.) are not to be trusted, hence our system of checks and balances. Knowledge is power and absolute knowledge is…combined along with that other axiom and you have one hell of a toxic brew. The old theologians call this the ‘sin nature.’
2.) Most here know that our apocalyptic literature is rife with references to a world dictator who would control and oppress through just such a system of information and identity control. The secularist may snort and sniggle here but, hey, it is our prophecies that are coming literally true.
