Fun
Even if you go into Kabbalahistic or numerological arguments (the obvious answer is 666‰), the whole thing is amusingly silly - so it's a nice break from more serious business like translating the Bible correctly. AugustO 18:01, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

Interesting
This reminds me of a short story by Philip Jose Farmer in which a hallucinating priest sees Hell and decides there is no justice in such a fate, and he takes it upon himself to try and replace every single damned soul. He spends the night running about the city trying to spare Hell's denizens as much pain as he can.--CamilleT 18:23, 20 September 2011 (EDT)
- Perhaps the story is an attempt to downplay or deny Hell? Denying something doesn't change reality.--Andy Schlafly 18:26, 20 September 2011 (EDT)
