text: why 666 is an cabalistic number?   as most us of us know, the 6th day of the 6th month of two thousand and..............6     has seen fox news launch their "omen remake" and fundamentalists throughout eire have flocked to school-yards to check the kids for nits and headlice "just in case".      it also has given joseph ratzinger an ocassion to be homophobic, anti-feminist, preach who ought have babies, and mention abortion. (great timing there.)  the vatican chose 6/6/06 to publish their ""family and human procreation" document.  its pretty horrible stuff. http://www.swissinfo.org/eng/international/ticker/detai...46000  other ideas for marking "world evil day" varied across the globe - the city of lima peru topped the google charts for search of "antichrist", "666" and "satan". indeed only 2 non south american cities got into the top 10 list - barcelona & madrid.  in the netherlands fundamentalist christians are still having a 24 hour "anti.divil" prayer day, the idea being that worshipping god pisses off satan, and pissing off satan is holy. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5049516.stm  the source of the "666" superstition is widely held by academic and cabalistic types alike to be a codification of the name of caesar nero. it is utterly blasphemous in orthodox theology to believe that satan has babies. interestingly though ratzinger decided to go into "having babies" today.  other than those titbits - its been a pretty ordinary day worldwide with no sharp increases in murder, carnage, war, slavery, famine, pestilence & "business as usual" being reported.  the last "worldwide day of something" was :- "world parenthood day". please note ratzinger said nothing. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/75969
