Day of the devil?
15
Mon, 06-05-2006 - 8:47pm

Much ado is being made by the media about tomorrow's date:  6/6/06.  Many believe that 666 is 'the sign of the Beast,' a symbol of the devil.  My boss laughed this morning that she'll be wearing her biggest crucifix and carrying a vial of holy water to work tomorrow.  You may have heard of the pregnant woman whose due date is tomorrow, who was trying to convince doctors to either induce her early or deliver her baby by c-section so it wouldn't be born on this 'horrible' date. 


What's your reaction to tomorrow's date?  Do you believe there's anything symbolic or evil about the number 666?  Do you plan to do anything in recognition of the date tomorrow?

Well, I don't believe in the devil, so no signifigance at all to me. If you think about it...many Christians use 777..I am not sure what the meaning of that is either.
My best friend since kindergarten was born on 6-6-74...she is a lawyer and an absolutley wonderful person... If she turns evil tomorrow, I'll tell y'all about it! LOL

I'm probably a little late for this discussion, but I figured I'd throw my 2 cents in, lol... I look at the number 6 as a number of peace and balance, NOT as a number that represents the "devil". Besides, I think it actually represents Nero, not the devil, anyway, lol....though I guess some equated Nero with the devil.... anyway- I happen to like the number 6-- it follows me wherever I go. My birthdate adds up to the number six, as does my last name... and my house number is 42, and 4+2 is six... so, there you go, lol... and- I don't blast into flames when I enter churches. I know, I've checked, lol... so, I really don't think that "666" means anything with (or to) the "devil", lol... I would think "1" is more the "devil's" number anyway, lol... all about "me me me", lol...
