Someone- not me- won an unusual amount of money. My question: How would a Fundie deal with this winning? See it as an End Times omen? Refuse it? Ask for just$665.99? Or what?
And if the winner tithes, does his church get a donation of $66.60?
Certainly this number must pop up at random now and then...like the example in the photo- Does it really strike terror in the hearts of True believers, or is that just an urban legend?

I'm surprised the number does not come up more often, it describes 2/3 of 1000. If I take my 1/3 cut and give you the rest, well there you go.

Most Christians I know would think $666 was pretty funny, all the way to the bank. :D
 
I used to work in a convenience store in southern Georgia. Every time the register total came to $6.66 (which wasn't often, but did happen now and then), the customer would immediately buy something else to change that total.

My late MIL had a book in which everything that had the number 666 in it somewhere was listed, so you could avoid it....and was convinced the government was in on this conspiracy, since so many governmental things bore that number, according to the book.

I knew a guy who had three sixes in his license plate number (not in order, just a total of three sixes) and made the DMV issue him a new plate.

I also knew some folks who thought Reagan was the Antichrist, because he had three names, with 6 letters in each: Ronald Wilson Reagan. The wife in this family would turn off the TV and pray every time he appeared, either in movies, or as president.

I guess most of my life I hung out with the truly ignorant, because the superstitious stuff folks here say Xtians don't really believe were gospel truths for the Xtians I grew up among. It's strange to me, to see so many folks saying "Oh, they don't really believe that..." whatever it is...

Gotta tell ya: there are many who do.

When that happens, I like to use my best mad-scientist laugh. Haven't gotten a fundie cashier yet, but I'm sure it'll flip them out.

On the other hand, after Ronnie & Nancy moved back to CA, they moved to 666 St. Cloud Rd. They immediately got local officials to change their address to 668. Trying to throw folks off the trail, I guess.

It likely will; that's my guess.

If that family I used to know ever heard about that, it would only have freaked them out even more. And I can't laugh at them too hard....I used to believe it, too.

That could be a great scam. Have a store in a fundie area where everything comes out costing $6.66. Somebody runs in for one thing and ends up having to waste an extra $6.66 just to avoid the devil coming to get them via their bill.
