"For it is the number of man." (or "a man.")

For relevant commentary see:

(There are a number of other commentary from which to choose!)

This subject is not something that will be resolved on the "Q" thread or even off the Q thread (which might be a better place for a religious discussion, which tend to be "Fractous" .) Sliding back to Q!
