The Mark of the Beast.


The Mark of the Beast is violence.

Anyone who believes in the use of violence to win the day is marked with the Beast.

And anyone who believes in hate is marked with the devil.

And this includes religious people who use judgement and damnation as weapons.

"Then I saw another beast that rose out of the earth, it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon."  Revelation 13:11 (NRSV)

The Republican Party of the United States is a Beast.

It uses violence, hate, and religion to win.

And the Evangelical Christians who support it are marked with violence and hate.

So do not resort to violence to win.

Cry out to God!

He will hear you.
