Countdown to the day of the mark of the beast
8 May 2006 by Ron
This is only the beginning. Expect much strangeness as 06/06/06 approaches. Kudos to the Times of London for reporting it mostly in the right tone (Mothers expect Damien on 6/6/06), including things that range from the sad…
The approach of the sixth day of the sixth month of a new century’s sixth year has prompted animated discussion among women participating in the website of Mother & Baby, a British parenting magazine. One pregnant woman, Francesca Renouf, said she had been so worried that she had booked a doctor’s appointment to ensure that she would avoid giving birth on the sixth… one popular evangelical website last week, a “rapture index” that calculates the likelihood of the Lord’s arrival stood at 156 — which the website declared was time to “fasten your seatbelts”
…to the excellent…
in America the marketing of the apocalypse is well under way. Slayer, one of America’s most popular heavy metal rock groups, will start its Unholy Alliance tour, subtitled Preaching to the Perverted…. inevitably the internet is awash with frenzied doomsday debate and 666 speculation, all reflecting America’s continuing obsession with angels, devils and the possible nature of heaven and hell… another website claimed that the Antichrist had already arrived — he is supposedly George (six letters) Walker (six letters) Bush Jr (six letters), the president whose name adds up to 666…. as one contributor to Arianna Huffington’s blog pointed out last week, F is the sixth letter of the alphabet, O is the 15th letter (1 5=6) and X is the 24th letter (2 4=6). Could Fox be the studio of the Beast?

This sounds like a moment ripe for some massive and well played hoax.

I’m getting much (mostly good-natured) ribbing, since my birthday is June 6; if I’m in the mood, I usually point out that there’s already been a 6/6/6, 6/6/66, 6/6/106, 6/6/166, 6/6/606, 6/6/666…well, you get the idea.

Sorry to bogart the thread like this, but reading the story in the following link is cracking me up. You’ll all love the way it reads, even though the topic is a little “unsettling.” But, umm… yeah, since 6/6/06 is unsettling as well, then umm… yeah… trying segue, but not doing too good a job of it.

Randy!, that could easily stand side-by-side with my Panzram story as examples of god’s mysterious ways-
Wait a minute! You bogart, you…
8 May 2006, on 2:23 pm
That’s nasty. I had to stop reading!

Maybe some fundies will wet their pants!

The only bad thing to happen on that date is the release of The Omen remake.

Gotta love the stupidstitious. I helped a TEACHER friend of mine at the store last year to shop for end of year picnic food for the kids. The cashier hailed the amount at $66.66 and immediately suggested that my friend might want to add “a candy bar or a little something” to change that amount. I knew this teacher was a xtian (who isn’t around these parts?), but I never would have thought any rational, thinking person could believe for a moment that 6’s were dangerous.
It was a shocker to watch her scurry to the candy rack and grab a pack of m&m’s.
Christ, what kind of therapy does it take to overcome THAT line of thinking?????????

My bro’s birthday is June 6. 1966.
I grew up with him and I’m pretty damn sure HE is the AntiChrist.
P.S. I’m totally NOT kidding, btw.
P.P.S. Nah, I’m just bsing ya.
P.P.P.S. Or maybe not.
P.P.P.P.S. Boo!

I, for one, WILL be celebrating the National Day Of Slayer. Too bad they won’t be in my neck of the woods until July. But I will be there!

The endless overestimation by humans of their own importance never ceases to amaze me. Why is it humans continually forget that the language they use to describe a phenomenon does not become intrinsically part of the phenomenon? The measurement of the passage of time is largely arbitrary, and there are many different calendars in recent memory (Islamic, Hebrew, Gregorian, Persian, Baha’i, Indian Civil, French Republican) and perhaps hundreds over the history of mankind. Some are solar, some are lunar, some lunisolar, and I’m sure there were probably some that were neither (based perhaps on the weather, or the motions of the other planets in the sky.)
Sometimes people are just stupid… and apart from astrology, not much is more boneheaded than tying significance to the numerical values of a Gregorian date… given that the Gregorian calendar wasn’t even in use on January 1, 1 CE. If it had wouldn’t the date June 6, 6 CE have been much more significant? I mean come on, during the transition from Julian to Gregorian, something like 11 days were just skipped (in order to get the seasons back in sync with the calendar), so if there was something magical about the date 6/6/2006 wouldn’t that magical thing happen 11 days earlier? 5/28/2006?
Just so much human arrogance and stupidity. To think that the universe is going to end and the world is going to bathe in fire because of the scratch marks one has made on the cave wall to count the passage of days boggles my mind. I’m reminded of a Dilbert strip I once saw. It went something like this:
FRAME 1:
DOGBERT: I have decided to become a prophet of doom. I believe that the world will end in the year 2000.
(Dilbert says nothing, he’s working at his computer.)
FRAME 2:
DOGBERT: My compelling logic is that 2000 is a big round number.
(Dilbert says nothing.)
FRAME 3:
DOGBERT: (waving hands at Dilbert) It’s biiiiig and rooound!
DILBERT: (looking nervous) Stop that!

Right on, Chuck. And if the world is gonna end on 6/6/06, I would assume that would be exactly at 12:00 AM. The question is New York time, Moscow time or Beijing time. I mean, what time zone does God live in?
9 May 2006, on 1:05 am
Oh for fuck’s sake. Quite adding to the sum of worldwide idiocy. Between the muslims and the fundies, there’s enough to go around.

Didn’t the christers announce a while ago that the “real” “evil” number was 616? If I got that memo, why didn’t the Jesus fetishists?
9 May 2006, on 10:35 am
Holy fucking christ. These Christians are so moronic. Have all of you been following the stupid DaVinci Code nonsense? At least Ron Howard told them all to get stuffed. These Christians are such fucking babies. Their mythology could be damaged by this other fiction! Boo Hoo!

God, I’m getting so worked up about these damned Christians these days. Do any of the rest of you do stupid shit like I do? For instance, I won’t let a Christian in in traffic even if they have their blinky-light on. I do this all the time. I feel stupid for using my car as an ambiguous statement like that, but I can’t stand to have to look at their stupid fish while I drive behind them. Inevitably, I’ll cut one moron off and get behind another one. They’re like bacteria, they’re everywhere.

Wait, are you guys saying that the numbers on a calendar, arbitrarily assigned no less, aren’t an indicator of when the world will end? Now what should I base my beliefs on?
9 May 2006, on 12:49 pm
Tom you may find Satan’s Box interesting. Note the very last section with regard to 616 (my favorite number).
10 May 2006, on 2:43 pm
[...] You can bet these people aren’t freaking out over 6/6/06. [...]

But that would that be American or European? Either we have five fewer days to get ready or we blew it by being over four months late already.
Argh, the problems that religious revelations cause! Grrrr…..

Chuck, so does Satan like Sudoku?
25 May 2006, on 11:33 am
the world won’t end but the son will be born thats a big problem so make a list of all the babys that are born on that day-6h/6m/6s
25 May 2006, on 11:52 am
I got a better idea. How about U make the list and we’ll just smile and nod and back away real slow.
