Tax avoidence is the way to salvation?
I was always taught that the mark of the beast isn't physical but internal, a sign of open defiance to God. I know I've got the mark because I don't believe in the existence of God. If you believe or act in a way that means you do not believe, you have the mark. The mark of the beast is said to be on the forehead (the mind) or on the right hand (the actions).
Remember that most of Revelations, if Christianity is real, would be in metephore. John was taken by God and essentially shown the future. Without context, the future can be quite confusing so it has to be conveyed in metephore. I'm sure John didn't intend to say that there would litterally be a woman with 12 stars on her head riding a dragon. Her head wouldbe pulled apart by the gravity or burned up by the millions of degrees of nuclear fusion reactions. Also, dragons aren't real.
