asked my teacher about the whole 666 thing, and then looked it up and youd be surprised what it really means. In ancient hebrew script, words were sometimes written in numbers as a form of code, especially during the roman persecution of jews and christians in the first century.
666 translates to Nero, the insane emperor who blamed christians and jews for the fire that he set that burn 1/3 of rome to the ground. so, 666, meaning Nero, who was hated by the 'people of god', slowly began to jsut represent evil, not satan or anythgin like that.
the roman catholic church and the modern church of satan began to use 'the tripple six' to mean satan, because, as we all know, satan tries to corrupt the souls of christians and jews everyday with his tempation to sin.Nero tried to kill the jews and christians because of their beliefs. see the fucked up connection? now dont get me wrong, im not a religious person in any sense of that word....'religion' but i think the whole '666' thign is jsut retarded. RE-TARD-ED. i mean, hey, if yer into thinking that god is fake but somehow satan is real, go for it. but consider this: in order for a strong sense of evil to survive and not engulf the word, there needs to be an equally powerful source of good. i think that the whole good evil thing is just inside everyone, there is no god, no satan, that is, except for what lies withing ourselves.
in conclusion: forget what you were taught by bands about this beign cool and that being cool, and especially what you were taught by church, school, and the stoner-satanist down the street that says that self-enlightenment comes from smoking mad bud and drinking pigs blood. think for yerself truly. not thinking for yerself by the pre-destined punk rock standards. and i LOVE leftover crack, but just like most religious dieties or anyone with a message to spread, their fans and followers fuck it all up and ruin it for the rest of it. im talking about the kids who i see in boston who say " i realized while listening to rock the 40oz that what worked for st'za will def work for me, hail satan!" thats bullshit. im sorry if this trhows anyone for a loop or makes anyone think that im attacking a precious passtiem of offending christians and jews by using the sixes. but jsut remember if iut werent for those people, 666 wouldnt exist in the first place. MAIN POINT: 666 DOESNT MEAN SATAN, IT STANDS FOR A DEAD, HOMOSEXUAL, GENOCIDAL LUNATICK WHO WAS EVENTUALLY KILLED BY HIS OWN PEOPLE. (i only mention his sexual preference because in todays macho-garbage scene of 'fags are fucked'mentality[even in the 'oh-so acceptant punk scene] that shit seems to matter and i figured that it would get peoples attention if they see the word HOMOSEXUAL in caps-lock lettering)
gimme yer comments, yer frustration, and yer complaints if you got any.
