LUFKIN, TX (KTRE) - A Polk County teacher is suing the state for requiring her to be fingerprinted for a background check, saying it violates her religious freedom.

According to her attorney, Scott Skelton, of Lufkin, Pam McLaurin believes the book of Revelation literally and that getting a fingerprint would bear her the mark of the beast and she would be "be tormented in burning sulfur."

If publicity is what she wants, I'm sure that her torment in burning sulfur will make the evening news in several large cities. (And if fingerprints = Mark of the Beast, I wonder why she hasn't been sandpapering her fingers for most of her life?)

Nobody wants publicity. Media outlets are more than happier to offer them.

Wow, it must be a sad existence to believe something so silly.

Sounds like a few of the posters here. This is ridiculous though, since the mark of the beast is only a fantasy. I certainly wouldn't want this fruitcake teaching my children anything.
