It was also a roman custom to mark slaves or political affiliates with marks and tattoos in the forehead or hand. In my opinion we worry too much about a literal mark of the beast, while forgetting that it could also be a spiritual and moral adherence to anti-christian ideologies (head/brain) and works (right hand, the one that you write and shake hands to seal business deals)

You nailed it.
It's a mentality. Thought process. 'Worship'
Like how we call the mindless drones 'NPCs'
And more over, the mark/seal of God is talked about more than the mark of the beast.
Also in the forehead, but not the hand. So ppl are sealed NOT for action, but for the ability of 'free thought' or 'think for themselves'...
good comments made here!
It is both. Read Revleations 13/17 over and over again.
good observation :)
Very possible. U/alphaliberal
