What was it like when you guys reached that number?
The number 777 is a cooler number. The number 666 has been ingrained into our psyche by a repressive religion to represent evil. What's so evil about it? Some "evil" guy that didn't even show up untill the Dark Ages? Right. :rolleyes:
I didn't even notice that I passed 666 untill I hit 800.
. He then changed 666 to 616 to conform to the Latin rendering since it was generally accepted that Nero was the Beast. In either case, a Hebrew transliteration nets 666, while a Latin spelling nets 616. Nero was the “man” and either 666 or 616 was his number.
-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
I've already stated fear of the number 666 is called Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia. I think it was in LOrd Mantis' thread that he made when he racked up a total of 666 posts.
Kind of makes you think about it a bit more, 666 seems a better fit, if 6 is the Devil's number, 3 6's cannot be good. 3, good or bad appears frequently in judeo-christianity.

So what your saying is if 4 showed up in another religion as that religion's evil number then everyone should be afraid of 444?
Just because the Abrahamic religions have a taboo doesn't mean it fit's in this day and age. Hell if you want that then go rape a young girl. Just make sure you dont get her pregnant, the Lord God All Mighty hates it when the raped girl gets pregnant. You gotta marry the girl in that case. Question to all the ladies, how many of you would like to marry someone if they raped you?
4 in japanse is Shi. Shi is the first syllabol in Shikyo which means death in Japanese, that is why some Japanese people use the alternative word for 4, Yon.
And I wasn't talking about other cultures. 3 appears prominently in Judeo-christainty, Holy Trinity, Unholy Trinity, Jesus was dead for 3 days, Jesus died at 3 pm, 3am the opposite time is devil related, So if 6 is the devils number (it actually says that in the bible), then a sequences of three 6's is probably going to be something bad.
On a side not, 3 also features prominently in Norse culture/mytholgy, as are the multiples of three, 9 and 18.

Umm... I pulled four out of my ass... o.O
My point was the same though. Just because one religion fears a number doesn't mean everyone should. Even if you think your God or Goddess or whatever is the one and only all mighty deity, you can't force that belief on others. The number 666 to a non-Abrahamic-religion-person means the same as the number 234 or 728 or 665. It is just another number.
Meh. Whatever though. I guess I just won't understand what the fascination with 666 is...

To find the truth, you must risk everything.
its not supposed to be a nice game
autostats are rediclous

I'm sorry, I just decided to google it a bit.
Amazing what you can find.
And yes 666 is actualy a mistranslation, it should be 616.

Then again we consider KJV to be an "Accurate" translation. :rolleyes:
Man I love Christians.
