    Default The Mark of the Beast.

    I'd love to have this as my birthdate.

    The approach of the sixth day of the sixth month of a new century’s sixth year has prompted animated discussion among women participating in the website of Mother & Baby, a British parenting magazine.

    One pregnant woman, Francesca Renouf, said she had been so worried that she had booked a doctor’s appointment to ensure that she would avoid giving birth on the sixth.

    Others appeared to take the dangers less seriously. One woman, Emma Parker, wrote that she intends to call her baby Damien, after the satanic boy in The Omen. Another, Donna Magnante, said she would name her baby after Regan in The Exorcist.

    I just love this bit:

    On one popular evangelical website last week, a “rapture index” that calculates the likelihood of the Lord’s arrival stood at 156 — which the website declared was time to “fasten your seatbelts”. By contrast, another website claimed that the Antichrist had already arrived — he is supposedly George (six letters) Walker (six letters) Bush Jr (six letters), the president whose name adds up to 666. “The violence and destruction that began when Bush first entered office is now certain to culminate in the apocalypse, as predicted in the Bible over 2,000 years ago,” warned Stephen Hanchett at isbushantichrist.blogspot.com.

    I always assumed that the Anti-Christ was someone charismatic, someone smart, who could convince people of anything... Guess not.

    The bible says he's supposed to be a great deceiver, but good at it. I doubt George Bush is him. Anyway, he's supposed to wear a blue turben. Whether that's a metaphor or not, I'm not sure.

    A blue turban? So the anti-Christ is coming back as a Sikh?

    others believe that the world is coming closer to what is widely known as “the rapture” — the moment the Lord calls the Christian faithful home and millions of born-again evangelicals will suddenly disappear from the Earth, leaving non-believers behind.

    Some days ago, a TV report said there has probably been a translation error and the number should be 616. I just want all those "666 is so cool, I m´such a bad kid if I call myself that" - kiddies to know.

    I was born on 6/6/1966 and weighed 6 pounds, 6 ounces. I made the local newspaper, no one ever forgets my birthday, and as far as I know I do not have any marks of the beast on my body.

    husar is right, your safe lord godfrey!

    revelation is thought to actually represent the fall of the roman ''world'' with nero being the beast (and the number 616 being code for his name) , revelation does after all talk about millions of horsemen decending on europe and killing loads of people which is very similar to what happened but noones realy sure

    i think its funnyer to let people write 666 everywhere if they so wish and laugh at their ignorance!

    Nonsense. 666 is the Number of the Beast, it plainly says so, repeatedly, in the track of that name by Iron Maiden, which should be good enough authority for anyone.

    It would just be STUPID for the crowd to be shouting out "Six! One! Six! The number of the beast.." as they play their encore....
