Happy Satan’s day
Yesterday was the 6th of June 2006, also written
as 06/06/06. What is 666? It’s the mark of the devil as described in the Christian’s
holy book, the bible. The irony of this day is that there are people getting married
in believing it’s prosperous day.
The HSBC effect
I still remembered the advertisement in the Time magazine
where there’s two identical pictures of the very same item, one labeled
positively while the other negatively. Same way as for the date 06/06/06. 6 is
pronounced as lŭk in hokien dialect. Coincidentally, luck is also pronounced as
lŭk. So, for the hokien, it’s considered prosperous, in fact most Chinese find
it prosperous to have dates of the same numbers like 01/01/01 and especially
08/08/08. So, a man’s meat might be another’s poison. One simply cannot impose
their value system onto others (BIG HINT TO MISSIONARIES).
No such thing as Santa
The next subject is obviously to question the reliability of
the bible. The bible, or the book of god some might call it contains not only
the Christian believes but also prophecies of what might happen especially in
the book of revelation. Not only was 666 the mark of the devil, but also the
release of the beast at the dawn of a new millennium. In short, four doomsday
was suppose to happen (666, 999, 1666 and 1999) of course, there are many more potential
doomsday on 06/06/06 which occurs every 100 years. Still, I’m still sitting
here writing my blog, alive, sane, and very much reasonable as compared of
those Christian faith that worship the tool that murdered god’s son, the
crucifix. So, what more can be said of the bible? Is it accurate? Yes, as it
claimed, but no as nothing materialized out of it. The world is still as it is,
people dying from cancer, been mugged, killed by a jealous lover, raped, run
down, gun down, decapitated by terrorist which has been pretty much the norm
ever since I learn to read the dailies.
