went in and read a few and it still shows 666!
Ahhhhhhh.....................

FWIW, they mis-translated somewhere back in the early dark ages, the
number should have been 661. Has something to do with Latin not having
the letter 'U', and substituting 'V' instead.

Whew, that was close. Glad to hear it. Maybe it was just 3 9s anyway.

Kinda makes all those exorcism stories where the kid has "666" written on
his head or rear end somewhere ridiculous, doesn't it? But it won't make no
never mind to the true believers....They'll come up with the same number of
stories during the next 50 years as they have during the last......

Please don't get the Bible thumpers started. Its Christmas time. Its
probably the only time of the year that Christians are looked upon as
good, everyday people rather than as over-zealous, right-wing kooks
(and those people who actually fit that bill bring that negative light
on all of us). I am a Christian, but I don't go around brow-beating
everyone else into accepting my general religious beliefs and/or
doctrinal minutia. Everyone has his/her religious convictions - even
athiests. I am happy to share my views in a public forum on why I
believe what I believe and how these beliefs have made my life better
WHEN ASKED. I share my convictions with my close, personal friends
much the same as I share other personal information with these people.
Besides, there will be a lot of disenfranchised right-wing Moral
Majoritarians in Heaven when they have to share that blessed place with
Muslims, Jews, Democrats, Socialists, Catholics, Cher and any number of
other people/groups they thought would never make it. Most of these
people would never even have welcomed someone like Jesus Christ into
their own congregations. And, the heck with Jerry Falwell, I'm wishing
everyone "Happy Holidays!". End of rant.
