Questions: Religion & Spirituality

The mark of the beast will be received either on the right hand or forehead. Some claim the mark is a literal implant or label placed onto or into the right hand or forehead. Others believe it is symbolic. Whichever, it is believed Christians will know it is the mark of the beast while others who are astray will not.

I believe it is symbolic. A salute is often done with the right hand to the forehead. Maybe the antichrist can identify your loyalty to him as to whether or not you salute to him.

Then there is the literal word "OR" in the scripture. "OR" meaning one of two choices.

There is also a common salute only involving the right hand:

We know Elon Musk is also heavily involved in AI.

Here is something quite chilling:

We know, however, leftists are commonly Athiest or Agnostic, and we wouldn't expect them to salute like that. And we know the Christians are the ones who would not be saluting when knowing it is the mark of the beast. So my theory is contradictory too. And notice the word "receive". When you receive, you take or accept, not give. So wouldn't saluting be an action of giving and not receiving?

Maybe I am wrong with my theory then...
