Ahmanutjob sez West responsible for AIDS, poverty, and anything bad
2008-07-31
Iran's president on Tuesday blamed the US and other "big powers" for nuclear proliferation, AIDS and other global ills and accused them of exploiting the UN and other organizations for their own gain - and the developing world's loss.

But, he said, time was on the poor countries' side.

"The big powers are going down," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told foreign ministers of the Nonaligned Movement meeting in Teheran. "They have come to the end of their power, and the world is on the verge of entering a new, promising era."

#7  Procopius2k, you must be wrong. Heavy metal bands are in a better position to know and they confirm that 666 is the number of the beast. Hell and fire, spawned to be released.

If that's right and the number is really 616 that's gonna screw the hell out of an awful log or mumerologists and their predictions.

#3  "In May 2005, it was reported that scholars at Oxford University using advanced imaging techniques[10] had been able to read previously illegible portions of the earliest known record of the Book of Revelation, from the Oxyrhynchus site, Papyrus 115 or P115, dating to the mid to late third century. The fragment gives the Number of the Beast as 616 (chi, iota, stigma), rather than the majority text 666 (chi, xi, stigma).[1] The other early witness Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (C) has it written in full: hexakosiai deka hex (lit. six hundred sixteen).[11]

Significantly, P115 aligns with Codex Alexandrinus (A) and Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (C) which are generally regarded as providing the best testimony to Revelation. Thus, P115 has superior testimony to that of P47 which aligns with Codex Sinaiticus and together form the second-best witness to the Book of Revelation. This has led some scholars to conclude that 616 is the original number of the beast.[12][13]"

OK guys, just make sure you have the right number. Nothing like scrawling the wrong one on only to find out later its bogus. :)
