666 and the Church of Scientology

Patron Meritorious
Many of us have become aware of 666 as supposedly the number of Satan/Devil. I have recently come across an article which notes that the carbon atom have six protons, six electrons and six neutrons, and suggests that there could be something evil in the proposed carbon tax.

This had me thinking that there may well be a 666 associated with some key aspect of the CofS. Do you have any suggestions?

What did the Satan character on the Bible do that was so evil anyway? The God character is the one that's a serial killer who is constantly having tantrums that often end in the annihilation of entire civilizations, not to mention he raped Jesus's mother and was a dead beat father.

Satan is a nobody.

Isaiah 45:5 said:
I am the Lord, and there is none else, beside Me there is no God; I have girded thee, though thou hast not known Me;

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me; I am the Lord; and there is none else;

I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord, that doeth all these things.

Who ever authored that was in seriously need of psychological therapy, If that is indeed the actual word of 'God' ... of all of the possibilities which could have transpired to produce life ... how did we ended up with a creator that has the intellectual and emotional capacity of a child? ... a very spoiled child?

Quite so, Froggy.

Satan (Lucifer) is/was the Bringer of Light. He also encouraged Eve and Adam to eat of the fruits of the trees of Good and Evil and of Knowledge. You too can be more like God, he told them. Good things all.

While God and his Christians gave us the Dark Ages and guilt and all sorts of introverting shit. They condemn us to hell if we dare try to live in freedom.

When I ran the Women's Auxiliary for the Twin Cities org we did a Christmas gift drive for the group Catholic Charities. When I delivered the gifts to them the lady went to check off our name on a list as we pre-registered. Each group had a number. Our number was 666. It said "666 Church of Scientology". It made the woman checking off uncomfortable and she even said "that's odd".

Whether they did that on purpose or not, I don't know.

Yeah that's why I don't understand why hanging out in Heaven with God is so appealing to some to people. Who wants to dealing with being treated like a child by someone who demands that you worship him? I wouldn't even consider treating a stray animal that came to my door looking for food like that, let alone someone I supposedly 'love so much'.

The notion that Satan and Lucifer are the same is not really held in Judaism, as far as I know.

Anyway, I blame that inversion on the injection of Greek philosophy into Christianity.

Never really looked at it this way before but I always questioned why a creator would punish the created - just didn't seem right.

In Crowley's flavor of Kabbalistic numerology, 55 = 10 = 1, 40 = 4, 22 = 4, etc

The $cientology triangles, each have an angle of 60 degrees, there are three corners, hence 60 = 6, hence 666

Hitlers pals would sign letters 88 as H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 = HH = Heil Hitler

as in Hubbard's Technique 88, 8-8008, 8-80

Of course, the number of the beast is most likely 616 rather than 666 so it makes trying to sneak 666 into things extra silly.

Spoken like a true Nietzschean/Scientologist.

Be more like God--OT--Ubermensch.

Good and evil--Slave mentallity.

Scientology uber alles!

Merely read Leviticus about how to sacrifice and for what offense...and then think about your own children bringing you mutilated animals in order to appease your wrath when they transgress.

Serious psychological disorders...

...or a great way for the Levites to get free food...hmmmmm...

It could be that the whole carbon credits scheme is a mega-scam right out of the box. See this video, for instance:

I doubt if it has anything to do with 666 though.

Ya know, one of the reasons I was happy to leave Scientology behind was because of too much unnecessary added significance.

When it comes to "finding meaning in numbers", this gets pushed to even further limits. There is no inherent "meaning in numbers" other than that which YOU give to them.

Granted, one can study how OTHERS have imbued numbers with all sorts of significance and meaning. But, try not to fall for it yourself.

The Church of Scientology in Toronto is 696 Yonge St. I thought that was sort of spooky.

I was in Toronto, and in the Sea Org, when the building was acquired. It was bought because it was the best deal that served their needs at the time.

Spooky? I suppose that you can imagine (dub-in) THAT if you choose to.

So, did the Sea Org purchase the building BECAUSE it had the number "696"? :no:
