Nuts-O-Rama…that 666 thang!
Urban legends promoted on Catholic websites.
Spirit Daily has a link to an article concerning imbedded microchips and smart cards - all the new technology used for commerce. The name of the article is, “666 decoded: The number of the beast” - it is a fun read - it even makes sense on a certain level, I mean, it is conceivable - if you are a conspiracy theory advocate. But it’s a long standing urban legend and already has it’s own place in the Library of Internet Folklore. Now, while Mondex could have put up these de-bunking websites (oooooo! scary!) - it is much more believable to me that the entire concept remains a part of the apocrypha created by the “Left Behind” series junkies. Go here - if you are at all interested - for the refutation of ”666 decoded“.
Conspiracy theories are fun - that’s why they make movies about them - they are entertaining. And pop-religious writers make a living off of them…while they are hot. (Recall all the wasted pulp on decoding the Da Vinci Code. That’s an un-saleable classic these days.)
What’s in your forehead?
