The tEH Satan!

Woe to you o earth and sea, for the devil sends his beast with wrath for he knows that time is short. Let him who hath understanding recon the munber of the beast, for it is a human number, his number is sixhundredandsixtysix

Six is considered the Devil's number because in the Book of Revelations, God and various other Heavenly entities are associated with the number seven (and of course, seven is referenced in many places in the Bible, ie Genesis). It's believed that six is symbolic of Satan because it comes one number short of the 'perfect' one.

It shows kind of a deep perspective on the concept of 'evil'. In my mind, I see it as saying that evil is not some grand polar opposite of Godliness that popular culture and religious extremism portrays it as, but rather the product of misguided and lonely minds - but nonetheless, minds of people who have equal potential to do good things. (I say this because, if you're not familiar with the story, Lucifer was one of Heaven's finest, until he started to believe that he was better than God - he was 'one attribute short' of true greatness, so to speak.)

P.S. It's 2 in the morning on the day after my birthday, and I haven't the least idea of what I just typed makes sense or is even vaguely coherent, nor do I have any desire to find out.

Perhaps, but 7 seems to be associated with bad things (7 deadly sins, 7 levels of hell, 7 plagues of egypt, 7 thingies in the revelations), and it doesn't explain why it's triple-six :razz:

I think it is like this:

777 - number of God

666 - number of the beast

555 - number of the humans

whats the number of alliens?

I love this site. Where else do you get such a wide range of weirdos?

I think it is like this:

777 - number of God

666 - number of the beast

555 - number of the humans

Of course! that explains why all those phone numbers in TV and movies are 555...

7 deadly sins, 7 levels of hell, 7 plagues of egypt, 7 thingies in the revelations

The 7 deadly sins I can rationalize off, because there are also 7 "heavenly virtues" which counteract these 7 sins, so that actually fits in with what Cass said.

According to Dante, there were 9 levels of hell.

There were 10 plagues of egypt.

And I'm not quite sure what a "7 thingies in the revelations" is, so I guess I'll give ya that one :razz:

Hey, there were still 7 levels of hell and 7 plagues of egypt... You just have to specify which 7 out of the full number you're talking about :wink:

Gah- touch? squirrelface, touch?.

Exactly! Oh well, I'm not quite up to scratch on the old mythology, sorry :razz:

From what I can remember it's 665 in Max Payne. But I'm not 100% sure.
