too late now. you've already got it fixed in your mind that anyone who disagrees with you is either trolling your thread or simply too lazy to read the OP (and although that may be the case occassionally, you can't chalk up all dissent to trolls and lazy people). not that you haven't fairly acknowledged when someone has read the op and disagreed with you, but it's human nature to remember the bad more often than the good (which may explain some of your dilemma), and after this many pages, all you'll remember is the bad.
watch and see.

interesting. have you ever considered the way your mind works? why you think the way you do, why you respond the way you do? people are fascinating and this includes yourself. i'm sure you've thought long and hard about the way other people function, but what about the way you function? i bet that'd be an interesting thread topic, too.)

1. 666 doesn't have seemingly negative connotations?
2. inverted pentagram doesn't have seemingly negative connotations?
3. calling people's posts on the subject, disinfo, isn't negative?

As far as 666 goes, I read a very believable and fully relatable definition of it. It appears that in both of the primary biblical languages (greek and hebrew), the numerological value (as counted by hebrew scholars) was "Lateinos".
Observe:
The numeric equivalents of Greek letters can also be found in the Encyclopedia Britannica under "Languages of the World", Table 8.
The ancient Greek word for "the Latin speaking man" is LATEINOS
L = 30 lambda
A = 1 alpha
T = 300 tau
E = 5 epsilon
I = 10 iota
N = 50 nu
O = 70 omicron
S = 200 sigma
------------
666

this makes perfect sense for a couple really obvious reasons:
1) the gentleman writing the text is in prison on the Isle of Patmos, put there as an enemy of the Roman (Lateinos) Empire.
2) seven heads of the beast are seven mountains (a reference to the seven hills of rome)

Well would it help if I mentioned I'm somewhat of a scholar of biblical prophetical texts? I got that way from not only reading the text, but reading it in several different translations, in its original languages, and as a result of the theological works of various schools of thought (including mr. lavey's). Perhaps it carries no weight with you or Xclucifer, but you would not be happy if I broke out into a SERIOUS defense of the text. It would drive your thread hopelessly off topic and I'd bury it in a slew of data, so deep, you'd need a teleportation pad just to get out of it. but if it'll keep you and xcluci's posts and videos from repeating half baked versions of the text, then I'll do it. BUT OUT OF RESPECT FOR YOUR THREAD, I HAVE NOT GIVEN THIS TOPIC THE SERIOUS RETALIATORY DISCUSSION IT'S BEGGING TO HAVE!

how does any of this "histrory" answer, in any way shape or form, my question

it was a response to xclucifer's video he posted on the previous page.
as i said before, if you are prepared to fight, be ready for a defense. you may not understand the defense, it may not even resemble a defense, but i happen to know on good authority, that there's a reason for everything (there are no coincedences).
stop littering this thread with the exact senseless mumbo jumbo

anywhere else, this would be a setup for letdown. here, i thought people were openminded and did their research. but thanks for letting me know that it all boils down to people judging others based on a pic and a number. now i am really really letdown.

nah they're too busy figuring out how they're gonna force people to believe as they do and of course, it never crosses their minds that this is the same exact thing that bothers them about the other fellow.
it's an endless cycle of hypocracy. i say, solve your disagreements in a video game arena. if you really hate someone or someone's ideas, challenge them to a video game duel and beat the living tar outta 'em. just think, you can bring your friends and prove some inocuous point! you'll feel better, and they won't be adding bad karma to your record... unless of course, there's a video game karma
moderator, in which case, we're all screwed
