you have directly experienced Christians directly expressing aversion to non-bodily-invasive state or federal ID, specifically on Christian grounds?
- xnyan 4y agoYes, frequently. It's not uncommon at all where I was raised (US South). We can talk to my father, or almost any member of his congregation, about how a national ID is a government plot to identify, control and harm the faithful.
- badwolf 4y agoIt really isn't that uncommon of a belief.
- adamrezich 4y agoreally? still, to this day? one would think that evangelical Christians would skew conservative, and therefore be in favor of state/federal ID, for election security purposes.
- mikeyouse 4y agoThese people are extremely conservative - well past treating "election security" as a primary concern and far closer to "welcoming the return of Jesus / the rapture" as their single motivating force. They'll of course support most other conservative causes, but only so far as they don't conflict with salvation.
- TylerE 4y agoYes. The Bible Belt is very very real.
- p_j_w 4y agoYes. They (my parents) believed any sort of centralized federal ID was a "slippery slope," though they weren't educated enough to know and use that exact phrase, towards an implanted chip, barcode tattoo, or whatever form they were convinced it would take.
- spoilqueue 4y agoI certainly have. Multiple times.
