from the Independent: Revelation! 666 is not the number of the beast


A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616. (more)


But I thought the Bible was divinely inspired and that every word was literally true? Again, I appear to have been misinformed. Oh well, kinda makes you wonder what else they've gotten wrong, doesn't it?
