The link is not getting through either.
Sorry
Not exactly “hot off the presses” news. I remember reading about the 666 vs 616 argument in a book published in the 1980s called Catholicism and Fundamentalism.
[quote=High Priest of the Curch of Satan]
They and satanists responded coolly to the new “Revelation”. Peter Gilmore, High Priest of the Church of Satan, based in New York, said: “By using 666 we’re using something that the Christians fear. Mind you, if they do switch to 616 being the number of the beast then we’ll start using that.”[/quote
Painfully honest. People like this are the reason I am a cynic.
Chalk up another vote for the ability to edit our posts.

Heh. Somehow 616 just doesn’t have the same… ring. I’m so disappointed. woe
Why doesn’t the link like me? Woe.
“616” fits the meter in the song.
(Yeah, I’m old. Shut up)
