Hmm, I had no idea one way or the other about the Amish and fingerprints, but you made me curious. Seems it's not so, as in Illinois they worked with the state to avoid getting photographed for their state ID by getting one based on their fingerprints instead. https://will.illinois.edu/news/story/amish-can-apply-for-state-ids-in-2015 https://will.illinois.edu/news/story/amish-can-apply-for-sta...

Ironically, the Amish position is based solely on their strong stance on Aniconism[0], but in the process of their objection they have revealed that the state ID system gives people the choice of having their forehead or their right hand recorded, which are precisely the areas where the "mark of the beast" is taken, according to the book of Revelation.[1] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniconism#Among_Christians_today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniconism#Among_Christians_tod...
