its actually 696 u lie-spreading heathens

It's actually 616. 666 is just a really persistent mistranslation. Probably because it sounds a lot cooler than 616.

it is 666 in most manuscripts but 616 in a few. most scholars think it is a numerical reference to a roman emperor (nero), and that may be true, but i have a personal theory that 666 is also an intentional reference to Solomon (!) who received 666 talents of gold a year in taxes (1 kings 10:14) and lived an extremely lavish lifestyle with many wives and consorts. this is the only other place in the bible this distinctive number is mentioned, and solomon, though he built the first temple and is commonly praised and regarded as very wise, is condemned by god in the bible in 1 kings 11:1-13, and blamed for the split of the kingdom. he committed THE chief sin: infidelity to god, idolatry, such as following the idols of Astarte and Milcom, and even building worship sites to Chemosh and Molech!

given how much jews and early christians loved their numerology, i can totally imagine the writer(s) realizing that 666 can refer to two assholes and fistpumping ever so slightly in the name of the lord

while it's a little sad reading this sort of thing from you, it's not really because of what you say but rather my sympathy for you having to live with such an evil heart. it must be difficult, and i'll pray for you to find happiness. it's friday, have some fun!

It's not evil to proclaim the truth. There is nothing beyond this mortal coil, nothing beyond this unthinking and uncaring universe. You will die and cease to be, as will I and every other person that is, has been, and will be. And one day the last human will draw his final breath choking upon the soot and detritus of human civilization. Then many billions of years later the sun will engulf the earth in stelar-nuclear fire as our star burns away the last vestiges of its fuel before it too dies. All of humanity will have lived for nought and nought will be left to remember us by. All we be made equal by being made meaningless.

Also you're dumb and I'd laugh if you killed yourself.

It's evil to try to drag someone else down into your misery. And honestly, none of this is novel, it's cliche grimdark stuff that couldn't depress a kitten. I wish you only the best. Namaste.

and yet time is infinite and the universe may go through these cycles many times

yet there was still a "you" consisting of the matter of the universe that experienced consciousness for a bit. thermodynamic laws say that matter is not ever destroyed within a system; "your" matter will continue on eternally. maybe it will give rise to future consciousness. edit: not to say that suggests there is any inherent meaning behind anything that occurs, but the phenomenon of consciousness is interesting if you believe in any form of materialism.

of course it isn't novel. it was taken for granted before the first con man met the first fool, i.e. when religion was invented.

then it's bo~ring. and that is not how religion originated, the vast unknown has been completely intuitive and apparent to all members of the human race from the beginning. although certain evil jaded sociopathic (satanic) people have used it manipulatively and cynically, all one needs is a spiritual side to authentically experience the divine good, which all civilizations have had at their core.

This is a pretty interesting interpretation and I like learning about textual criticism and biblical history even if I am atheist personally and have a fair bit of a beef with most organized religion.

look at this post by an idiot who has never been

'commissioned', yeah they commissioned it right out of public galleries and private collections at sword/gunpoint or threatened dying old men with eternal hellfire unless they donated it

yeah its for everyone to enjoy, just fly to italy, make an appointment way in advance and give them a bunch of money for admission, and go through security more rigorous than most airports. don't mind the armed guards all over the place that will bodily throw out old women for even hinting at taking their cameras out, what is art appreciation without P90s pointed at your face. all the statues have their dicks lopped off, because dicks are immoral. in fact, the whole loving country is full of statues with their dicks lopped off because the church thinks nudity is a sin. the place is so loving full of their ill-gotten gains that you have priceless works haphazardly tossed about the place with no curation at all when there are galleries all over the planet who would literally kill for just a handful of pieces that they don't even bother to display. they are among the worst collections in the world for sharing art with the general public. there are dictators and ceos, people personally responsible for the deaths of thousands, who are more liberal and generous their art collections.

yeah its for everyone, except the priceless erotic frescoes by motherfucking Raphael in the pope's quarters, that is impossible for any normal to see and even if you do has been horrifically mutilated and censored. and all the other works that are just for the upper eschalons of an organisation that oversees a system that protects child molesters from being punished

you mnight have noticed that christians and jews use shepherds a lot in their symbolism, but never goatherds, this is because of a major rift in the herdsmens' guild of bablon in ~550 BC during the babylonian captivity during which the babylonian goatherds left the guild to form their own separate goatherd guild and refused to pay their dues leaving just the jew wool racket in the herding guild which then became the de facto shepherd guild of babylon (later judea)

jews still keep an accounting of the overdue dues, tax and interest which the shepherds guild still feels are owed by the goatherds and this is a major cause of present-day hostility toward arabs by the jews. goats long ago came to symbolize this hostility and it was inherited along with the torah by christianity
