A mere week (or so) after the new Pope and this comes out?

A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616.

more!

Statanists are quick to react...

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."

Wonder what "Rottwieler" Ratzinger (man, talk about a good wrestling name) is going to have to say about this!

W_M - you bring up a good point. Are they going to keep 666 in say Italy? Bombay? Istanbul? And yes, this totally lets Damien off the hook. Poor unhappy misunderstood Damien...

Doll - I'm sorry, but yes, they got it wrong. (according to the latest scholarship which will be neither confirmed or denied by Fjord) Now, as for confirming your "on the edge" status...we can do that! Of course you are! That's why you (and countless others) read our cutting edge web-mag. Consider yourself lucky. I do.
