British House Of Commons Motion To Disestablish Church

... Is Numbered 666


2008 01 11
From: aftermathnews.wordpress.com

A motion calling for the disestablishment of the Church of England has been listed in the House of Commons as 666 - the Number of the Beast.



Labour MP John Austin, who has repeatedly tabled Early Day Motions urging disestablishment, put down his latest motion last night as MPs debated scrapping Britain�s blasphemy laws.

It appeared on the House of Commons order paper numbered 666, the number associated with the Antichrist in the Book of Revelation. Scholars believe 666 referred to the Emperor Nero.

The King James Bible renders Revelation 13:8 as: �Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.�

Bob Russell, Liberal Democrat MP for Colchester and one of the signatories, said: �It is is incredible that a motion like this should have, by chance, acquired this significant number.

�This number is supposed to be the mark of the Devil. It looks as though God ... or the Devil have been moving in mysterious ways.

�What is even stranger is that this motion was tabled last night when MPs were debating blasphemy.�

The motion is unlikely to be debated. But momentum for looser ties between Church and State is growing, as the support for the repeal of the blasphemy law illustrates. The blasphemy law favours Christianity and in particular the Church of England.

Although the attempt by Liberal Democrat MP Evan Harris to amend the Criminal Justice Bill was unsuccessful, the Prime Minister Gordon Brown has disclosed that he is consulting with the churches about its repeal.

THE END IS NEAR THE END IS NEAR!

Well I might as well eat as much food and drink as much as I want if we are all going to die. Maybe that coupled with some orgies and then find a bridge.

It's too dark to put the keys in my ignition,
And the mornin' sun is yet to climb my hood ornament.
But before too long i might see those flashing red lights
Look out, mama, 'cause i'm comin' home tonight.

Think i'll roll another number for the road,
I feel able to get under any load.
Though my feet aren't on the ground,
I been standin' on the sound
Of some open-hearted people goin' down.


I think you KNOW what's in a number, IGTG.

Ya-ta,

Are you saying someone is smoking the high grade you know what?

Maybe that's where the parnoia comes from.

He averages one non-annoying post a week. I'd like to sue him for giving me carpal tunnel syndrome in my right forefinger because I have to scroll past his useless posts so often.

"... there a six dimensions; these are the three spacial dimensions familiar to everyone in addition to three time dimensions - t, our axis of time, τ (tau), and м (teh). " Sir Edgar Rice Burroughs

Factors l, w, d, t, T and m.

Thus (6^6^6) mathematically.

Thought I would add something beneficial to the topic.

Remember that movie Pi with all the cryptic numerology? The guy Cohen had the name of God in his head and it was 216 digits long, which 6*6*6. My point? Darren Aronofsky is pretentious, but he's married to the greatest woman ever to walk the earth, Rachel Weisz.
