Kentucky Mountain Bible College prayed for relief from evil phone prefix
After months of asking for a new telephone number, the Kentucky Mountain Bible College has finally dropped the 666 prefix that disturbed Christians who recognized it as the biblical mark of the beast."We're just elated that the number has been changed," said Rob Roy MacGregor, the college's vice president of business affairs. "It was like we had this Scarlet Letter attached to us."
The college is now removing the number from printed material, including its official letterhead.
The 666 prefix had been the only one available in Vancleve since telephone service arrived here. The need for more phone lines forced telephone companies to add new numbers, and the college tried for several months to get the new 693 prefix.
"We were glad we could finally get a number that the school is happy with," said Kaye Davis, general counsel for Access Point, a North Carolina-based telephone company that serves the college.
So the question is...which is worse: making people dial '666' to call you long distance or write '78666' in order to mail you stuff?

I happen to believe that BOTH would be worse, considering that
666 is the number of the beast, just like it's stated in the bible. In fact, that is how much income my mother used to recieve here in Canada from the government system, until I started believing in God, in Jesus, and in angels.
Better yet, if you want to ask what would be worse than either of those numbers, I believe receiving the mark of the beast, which is the Big Brother chip is the worst thing that could ever happen to you and anyone else living on earth.
I wouldn't take it---I'd rather be beheaded for my faith, rather than accept an uspeakable fate worse than death. And I have visions of hell, so I DO know what I'm talking about.
"I happen to believe that BOTH would be worse"
Utter nonsense. When you designate the worst pick among many choices, you pick the one that is the worst. Two things cannot logically be the worst in any set of data.
But since you've had visions of Hell, I may just not bother arguing this with you.

I seriously don't think so.
If you don't believe me then go read any holy bible that you can find and go look it up.
Better yet, go look up " The Mark Of The Beast " on the internet and you'll get a lot more than you can bargain for.
In fact, I have even a better suggestion.
I just read this morning how a group of satanists killed a bunch of defenceless babies and ate them.
Why don't you go to Germany and tell the mothers of these dead children how there is no God and no Satan.
GO AHEAD ASSHOLE!!
DO IT!!
I strongly suggest that you grow up and shut the hell up because it's YOU who is talking a load of nonsense.
Posted by: Jesus's messenger in Doc Marten boots on November 19, 2004 08:10 AMI called it! Your skull is impervious to logic and you refused to address the argument I wrote. It's much easier to call me stupid and an asshole, isn't it?
I'll look you, the Pope, and anyone else dead in the eyes and tell them there is no gawd and no devil. What kind of bullshit challenge is that??? The fact that murders occur - even brutal senseless murders perpetuated by morons - isn't proof of the existence of supernatural beings.
At this point, I'd ask you if declaring yourself "Jesus's messenger" is more than slightly blasphemous in standard Christian philosophy, but again, there's no point in discussing anything with you when you can't recognize the simple fact that only one thing in a set of actions can be the "worst" out of that set of actions.
