People get all wired up because it makes them feel different, personally I think of this day as the D-Day anniversary.

Hooah!

For those of you praying that you survive this day because you believe in this foolishness let me offer you some reassurement.  The time to fear was in the year 666AD.  For those of you who are interested in history it might be interesting to see if any histories written in that year survive today.  Given that it was the early part of the dark ages in which histories were written that discussed troop movements, battles, and most importantly, searched for signs of God on earth, perhaps there are references to evil times during that year.  A cursed year perhaps.  This is of course assuming that the 666 idea existed then.  If it did then I would be curious since I am sure most in the Church would have believed it.

Personally I think it bs but to each their own.

Actually Art, Johannes wrote in Relavations 14 about the mark of the beast which is Satan of course. Relavations itself is full of symbolic speeched and stories. All the books and letters Johannes wrote was read through personally by the Romans who kept him prisoned.

And acording to Relavations the Anti-christ, or the pending doom of the world will originate from Rome or those parts of the world. If the Romans knew this is what he wrote, they could have burned the letters along Johannes.

666 is merely the asociation with Satan, in the future apperently however, those who do not wear the mark of the beast will be hunted down or something.

Whoever changed the total topics on the comnet to 6 666, very funny.

This day is simply my parents 25th wedding anniversary and my ex's 23rd birthday.

Revelations is one book of the bible I have never the read.  Never the less, I think my point regarding historiography in the 7th century is valid and actually it might be quite interesting to study.

Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number
of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred
sixty-six.
-Revelations chapter 13, Verse 18

                ---

The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest
day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever
receives the mark of his name.
-Revelations chapter 14, Verse 11


The idea of 666 existed already by the year 666 I believe since Revelations was wrote a few years after Jesus' death. Christianity was recognised as a relegion by Constantyn in 313 AD, or rather he put an stop to them being hunted down, and in 325AD it became one Rome's official languages.

Of course the Bible didn't exist at that point except the scrollsand etc. So Constantyn had the Bible composed for them, the old Testament existed by then, but the new Testament were composed from the variety of books written. Ironic kinda that the new Testament were made by Non-believers, though the books them selves were written by Christians

So I would believe it existed by then, but all in all I think even though  the referances  originates from Revelations alot Myth and paranoia was born from it as well if even before.
I found the following link which was very intresting to read. Though I dont agree with the article.

Link

As Merric said however, its just another day passing by.

Ya I understood what you said the first time Trix, my point is that if we study the historiography of 666-667 I was curious to see if this issue came up.  It probably doesn't but for those interested in historiography like me it might be a fascinating little study to do at some time.

On wikipedia, I think, they believe the 'beast' is a roman emperor. Nero I think, or something like that. An interesting read nevertheless, anyways Happy Belated Day of the Beast.

I was on a school trip to Washington D.C. this week and the flight was on Tuesday, I honestly didn't care about any of this 666 curse nonsense, which means quite a bit because I actually do believe in curses (I've been known to make crazy stuff happen).  The rest of the people in my school were scared out of their minds.  I was more concerned with it being D-Day.

Why'd you go to D.C? Did it have to do with anything like NYLC?

Cause I went there for that.

Garet be completely honest your saying that because your alive and want to make a difference but if your dead why worry about it? it wont change a thing if you worry, dont worry about things you cant change has always been a motto of mine no matter how tempting it is.
