666

I was raised as a Christian. Every Sunday our family went to church. I was baptized, confirmed, and served as an altar boy. I have sat next to the sea of Galilee (lake Tiberius) dipping my bare feet in the water, and I have swam in the filthy Jordan River.

Later in my life journey I was re-born. I had faith.

When I saw a license plate that contained the consecutive numbers 666 it worried me a bit.

What a superstition. And the story of that guy’s mother getting pregnant (by the Lord) without every having had sex is a complete fairy tale. Yea sure he could walk on water.

And the best Biblical scholarship now says that 666 was probably a mistranslation anyway!
