Those numbers are just denoting the specific verses in Leviticus that were being quoted. That said, there are apparently [613 commandments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/613_commandments) (Mitzvot) in the Torah.

ISTR there was a fundamentalist poster here some years ago who vehemently asserted that only “good Christians” (you know, like him) could be considered his neighbors. Wonderful how these hateful sods rationalize their hatred, ain’t it?

All that hating is hard on the face, I guess. I also didn’t realize that Viet Nam was once named “Anita Bryant” (scroll to photo #3).

Yeah, I think she was ok looking but not great. Others differ:

I did a (small) bit of searching, and found one picture of Anita Bryant at the Miss America pageant in 1958. Not a very clear picture, but she looks pretty good here.
