The Passion of the Anti-Christ

[CShine]

ROME, Ga. — Tickets at one movie theater screening Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" are being deemed decidedly unholy. The number 666, which many Christians recognize as the "mark of the beast," is appearing on movie tickets for Gibson's film at a Georgia theater, drawing complaints from some moviegoers.

The machine that prints tickets assigned the number 666 as a prefix on all the tickets for the film, said Gary Smith, owner of the Movies at Berry Square in northwest Georgia. The 666 begins a series of numbers that are listed below the name of the movie, the date, time and price.

"It's from our computer and it's absolutely a coincidence," Smith said. "It has nothing to do with the film company or any vendor. It's completely in our computer."

In the Bible, the book of Revelation says 666 is the "number of the beast," usually interpreted as Satan or the Antichrist.

Several patrons have made comments about the numbers, and one person who was uncomfortable having 666 on her ticket asked for a pass to be substituted for a ticket.

1. It is NOT a coincidence.

It is in fact a sign from God.

The Passion is blasphemous and unholy. God knows it and he has proved it.

:evilgrin:

2. How do you figure?

4. Why is the Passion evil and a tool of the anti-Christ?

Let's see...

a) It is inaccurate, both historically and in certain interpretations of events.

b) The above misinterpretations leads to the "Jews killed Christ" scenario.

c) It is yet another attempt by Christianity to part hard-earned money from good, but gullible, people.

d) It stirs up a hornet's nest of bullshit that this country does not need at this time in history. Bush thinks he is here to lead the world in a righteous crusade against evil and he has people who actually follow and believe him for that. Too many super-fundies already cause enough grief. We don't need more fuel for them.

3. Hey I live in Georgia

and that is NOT funny. The anti-christ is all around us down here. In fact, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one of them bastards. He's even on the movie tickets, by God! So until you've gone face-to-face with Beelzebub's spawn in the dark corner of a Dairy Queen, don't you be making no jokes!

5. Some people just don't understand Jesus at all

and I find it very sad.

As though a mere number has some kind of power. As though God has to be afraid of "the devil".

Sad, sad people.

6. Some people should get a life

They have nothing better to do then complain about movie tickets, sheesh.
