Is anyone else afraid of the number 666?

I can't believe that there wasn't someone there who would have allowed this. I think that is sort of tempting the wrath of someone, and it can't be good. . .666 doesn't "scare" me, but I do have a healthy respect for it. What are all of yours opinion on Wicca? In church last Sunday (I was sick and didn't go this past Sunday) the preacher said that it was raised 1575% or something like that in the past year. I have read on it, out of curiosity, and its white magic, nothing evil, but the preacher was just floored by the numbers. I don't want to get a religious forum started, just wondering. I have a catalog on their stuff, (it just came in the mail, out of the blue) and none of it is evil, and if you would do a bad spell on someone, it will comeback to you tenfold, so you are foolish to try it if you think you can someone back.

It bothers me a little...I did once refuse to buy a lakeside lot because the address was 666.

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

I have always ripped up check number 666 or voided it. But I certainly do not faint or anything when I see the number or come across it.

no ...but it inspired one of the greatest metal albums of all time!

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

There are may other references in music, but as far as the number being 'cursed' or 'evil'... It's the same as the pentagram or swastika. The symbolic meanings behind them changed as the ages changed. We seem to apply vastly different meaning to them today than 100 or 300 years ago.

Im not afraid of it, I just dont ever like to see it come up, haha. We went to McDonalds the other day to get our Caramel Iced Coffees that my mom and I are addicted to. Our order came up as $6.66. She looked at me and asked if she should order something else, but we figured God would protect us and our coffee.
