Yes, he moved recently from Detroit.

The superstition that often amuses me is the one where office buildings don't have a 13th floor. Or, more accurately, they number things such that no floor is *numbered* 13. Of course, that just means that the 14th floor is the 13th (or perhaps the maintanence level inbetween the 12th and 14th floors is the unlucky place, and the workers therein are screwed! aahhh!).

The Beast is smart

If this was the nuttiest thing that religious types did, the world would be a better place.

This one is actually quite sane in my opinion.

You and I didn't read the same article then. They don't want 666 b/c they are "good Christian people". Obviously only an evil sinner would have such a number. Definitely borne out by the article.

Did you even read the article you posted? Or did you just read that "good Christian" bit and feel overcome by your urge to rub your perky infidel sausage online? One of the people quoted specifically said that it's just an image thing. If LOTM said he did not want live in a neighborhood with a street layout like a swastika because he's a Jew, which of the following would you infer:

A. That he didn't like being associated with the symbol of people who once tried to exterminate his race, or
B. That he feared the symbol would cause Hitler's ghost to haunt his family unless he sealed all the doors of his house with matzoh balls blessed by a rabbi each night?

Take all the time you need to answer.

Or C) He is making something out of nothing.

Take all the time you need to pose another question.

Why? So long as you drop the spurious charges of superstition, I don't care how silly you think it is.

Just ignore Wezil entirely. He gives atheists a bad name...

Actually, that was directed at BlackCat. And he hadn't been too bad lately, he sort of relapsed just now.

I think the fact that everyone seems to know '666' is supposed to the mark of the Beast (even if its wrong or whatever), speaks to it being an image thing.

Since you keep reverting to the historical reality of the holocaust as your analogy for the myth/superstition of the 666 issue your argument is rather weak.



Kuci - So be it. If refusing to smile and politely nod in the face of such absurdities gives me a "bad name", I'll gladly take the label.
