    :lol:

    They have got it all wrong. The Number of the Beast is 6 + 6 + 6 -> 18
    Learned that in a movie or somesuch... so it must be true then.

    [​IMG] Err since when is this news? My friend said it was 616 rather than 666 couple of months ago, he said it was something to do with change in translation when rome converted to christianity, or something like that I accepted it because he knows more about it than me and I couldn't be bothered to argue. Hmm.

    Aha! 'would use numbers to hide the identity of people who they were attacking: 616 refers to the Emperor Caligula' and a google reveals that Emperor Caligula was a roman Emperor. Wow so he wa right.

    [​IMG] Tatoos look better on other people, especially fameles ;)

    But getting back on topic, I think that new and upcomming metal bands will still abuse the '666', so that newspaper report will not make much difference. Its still funny though.

    According to Gematria, 18 is the number of Life. So are they now saying that Life is no longer beastly? ;)

    That was a great website Rally, it gave me information for those so-called 'Kabbalah Masters' that worship Madonna!

    Actually I am very interested in various religions so the whole site will make great reading.

    Teekc - look it up on say - www.religioustolerance.org - it's quite interesting methinks, especially the contrast between it and how people perceive the 'dreaded Satanists *shockgasphorror*'
