That's what pisses me off... we'll never advance as a species if we're afraid of a damn number because it was written in a book a couple thousand years ago about someone who died a long time ago, and probably is a mistranslation in the first place. And even then, the number just refers to that particular "beast," it doesn't actually say that the beast is Satan. There are several different beasts mentioned in Revelation, but somehow Christians think that each one of them are the devil.
Remember when "Passion of the Christ" came out, and a bunch of Christians were freaking out because their ticket numbers had the string 666 in them?

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
