Why 666 is not to be feared...if you have a brain.
Interesting article. And if you read the Bible, there is NO reference to it being a date, and certainly nothing about THIS day!!!

1. But the zipcodes for the capital of Kansas, Topeka, ...
all start 666. Could it be because of Fred Phelps? Or maybe just the Creationist-majority KS Board of Education.

Sure glad I'm safe down here in Texas. ;-)

2. Every century has a 6/6/06
and that day was followed by 6/7/06.
Nothing special about the one this year.

3. Present calendar didn't even exist when any of the Bible was written
But never let that interfere with peoples' paranoid delusions.

4. I think most Christians would agree with you.
Have been very involved in the church in years past, I've never heard anyone afraid of the number 666.

Good article, though for the cults that follow that.
