Moviegoers object to '666' on tickets for 'Passion'

Only if you wonder why anyone would read Revelation at all. Then again, maybe getting those who read prophecy to think that they are 'paranoid' is the objective of some.

Ostensibly that may be so; but you've got to consider that there are lots of people who have what might politely be called "issues," who use good causes to justify bad deeds.

The Number of the Wannabeast

Shouldn't that be 665?

[birbear]

I wonder how long it will be before these ticket stubs are up for sale on eBay...

I mean the irony is pretty...well.. ironic..

And as a Christian, I'm only afraid of those numbers if they appear in my right hand or my forehead.

bookmarking. Cute!

333

I think that would be the number for Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light.

[Sam Cree]

I had this number come up on my new license plate one year

Ack! I wouldn't want it either. Not only would it sp00k me, it would get lots of weird looks from other drivers.

But, boy, this thread is getting interesting. Its astonishing to me that 'proof' of evil is required before its seen as something to acknowledge.

Oh Evil exists, and it's not usually hard to mistake if you are honest: Lives tend to get destroyed, bodies, blood, misery and mayhem happen, people get lied to, planes get thrown into buildings, somebody sells out a buddy to the occupying authority for money.....

Fortunately, Evil is hardly ever smart and usually not subtle.

Evil is in the world, but I am not convinced that a series of three dgits printed on a ticket are evidence.

Mine were for theater #13.

LOL, and the grill is hot indeed!! Perhaps I should have omitted my computer expertise (sort of like that senate staffer who is getting fried by the Senate Democrats, for what? Looking at files on a public folder? Ahhh, but I won't go there.)

But, nonetheless, I took the risk to imply conspiracy ...

My experience has taught me, however, that oftentimes there is no need for conspiracy if everyone is on the same page. Here at FR there is a large mutual admiration society. Lots and lots of chuckles.

When it comes to anti-Christian activity, it is remarkable how ubiquitious it really is. And how few the voices raised against this activity are is even more remarkable.

Making Christians look bad is a steady driving staple of most the vocal folks in Hollywood.

Anything, anything is ok, as long as it serves the agenda .... showing that the secular religion is preferable to the Christian religion in any way possible. Even using this thread. I guess that sounds .... what? .... paranoid?

[gobucks]

or a demon-spawned leftist controlled by the dark one...who knows...

Well, I've never met anyone who was obviously demon-spawned, LOL.

But, sad to say, I've met plenty who fell under the spell that delight is to be found in black-hearted living. And, oddly, many turn to leftist thinking for relief.

"....you've got to consider that there are lots of people who have what might politely be called "issues," who use good causes to justify bad deeds."

Now, truer words were never spoken. And even more unsurprising ... for the best way to mute the message is to rot from within. The RCC is wrestling these days with that one, for example.

My 'issues' are primarily restricted to a terrible handicap - and the USGA rules state that my handicap isn't worth tracking for now because the number is too large. That, THAT, hurts, I can assure you.

Actually, the number of the Beast is (202) 224-4451 (fax: (202) 228-0282).

It's a common Sequentially Assigned Admittance Number, which coincidently has the acronym, SATAN.

[gobucks]

And my handicap is NOT 666! (I knew I'd better get that in quiiiiiicck).

...and for the first time, the Snack Bar will offer deviled eggs and devil's food cakes, but no angel food cakes.

Correction:

It's a common Sequentially Assigned Theater Admittance Number, which coincidently has the acronym, SATAN.

Even my matinee price here was 8 dollars!

Gee, in Seattle, where they routinely charge $4 for a cup of coffee, I paid $5.75 for the 4pm matinee.

It will be a sunny day in Seattle before I pay 8 bucks for a matinee!

[gobucks]

Like I've said before, it would be very nice if our world was such that if it was deliberate, it would be a shocking aberration. I would actually be glad to be proven wrong and 'kooky' in my suspicions.

But, you have to admit, it wouldn't be a surprise if I were proved right. Come on ... Janet Jackson, Super Bowl? It was not even possible only 10 years ago.

Christian-baiting is the most unfairly refereed and most openly condoned sport in America today.

3 random numbers on a ticket ... maybe its just a coincidence. I hope so; but I doubt it ... based on earlier evidence.

Where did the namers get the T from? There's no T in Assigned.
