What annoys you more?

1) People with handles that include the number '666' in it.

2) People who say "*Insert celebrity here* is God!"

Both of these annoy me a fair bit when I come across them on the net (both I take as a slap in the face of my faith).

666 is just a number, so it doesn't annoy me in the very least.

So I'd say #2. Easily.

I once sarcastically said "Bono is god!" once, because he has shown that he is Christ-like in many ways. But I was only half-serious about it, and made it known from the get-go.

The only mention of 666 is that it's the number of man.

The latter is more annoying XD

666 just looks creepy to me....*shudders* call me weird.

Yes, I know its just a number XD

Hm....second one would annoy me the most. 666 in the username would just make me wonder if that person had all their bolts tightened.

Or they just WANT you to THINK they need them tightened XD

Neither of them really annoy me actually. XD

Second one probably annoys me more too, actually.

I used to read a lot of Tim LaHaye's "Left Behind" books at one time (I own most of them actually), and so seeing '666' in a person's handle probably impacts me a bit more than it did before I read them because of it. On other sites, and on YouTube, I see the number in a lot of people's handles.

The vast majority of people who use 666 as a handle aren't the sort who need to be bothered with. A good number of them are just young teenagers who think sporting a controversial number makes them "Edgy," and therefore cool or hardcore.

Basically, it's one rung lower on the social ladder than walking around holding a sign reading "I'm so cool."

Fish speaks the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

IAWTC, too.

Actually, teens with "666" in their handle pretty much amount to this cartoon:

Quoted for truth. XD Basically, I find both items one and two annoying as traits of forum members, but neither as a personal insult. Both are just kind of displays of ignorance, I guess. XD

Ditto on the 2nd annoyance....though these things really don't get my goat as much as it used to....

Me neither.

What I really can't stand is when something comes out and some people will claim it is either the second coming of Jesus or close to it. >_<

The number 666 is the Mark of the Beast according to Revelation. What gets on my nerves is how on some forums people take the whole meaning of the number out of proportion. Like you're going to die soon or have bad luck and other nonsense Number two , I don't like how some celebrities are revered as if they were God himself.

Revelation 13: 16-17
15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.


That there implies that is the mark of the beast. Those that receive it are those that are not loyal to God etc.

Not starting a debate at all. Just posting what the Bible says about the number. Even though 666 is a modern appearance in Bible text of today while 616 and 665 showed up in at least once from an ancient source. according to Wikipedia. But Wikipedia isn't reliable on certain subjects. So I'm going to study more to see if that is true.

In verse 18, it says it's the number of man:

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.

Or is it calling the man the beast?

Yes there is that as well. It also refers to the mark of the Beast, and the man part refers to humans that receive it . But don't quote me, I could be wrong, I'm still studying the whole meanings of Daniel and Revelation. And praying to God that I understand every detail.

No. 2 is more annoying. I'll rather deal with Paris Hilton's [insert someone/something]'s hot.

But nothing bugs me the most than usernames/email addresses with loads of numbers, random caplocks and unnecessary decorative symbols in them. No offence intended for those of you who have such usernames.

"Hi, pls drop an email to me at 2kewlt33n4EVA_1956@yahoo.com."

666 annoys just because of the reason Fish mentioned. They are just either "hardcore" kids who listen to Slipknot and Godsmack and think they are all that and more. Were as number 2 well they are just dumb " Dumb fan:Jack sparrow is God!!! : me Umm then why does the world not consist of oceans,rivers. and lakes or rum? Fan: uhhhhhh... its just a saying dude..." so yeah both are annoying on there own ways

Neither. I think it is rather silly really. Everyone knows btw that Haruhi
Suzumiya is God!
Ok,that was a joke, for the humor impaired a joke is something that we use to lighten up a serious conversation and it enables us to make fun of ourselves. Got that K.Ayato, Mithrandr, ucpseudonym and all the other
humor impaired out there?
But seriously we shouldn't really be taking such things overly serious.

[Mod Edit. Look at your post right now. It must be such a new thing to see spaces where they belong! Now, humor aside. You ignore warnings, you never respond to points people make. And quite honestly you are one of the most ignorant members we have ever had. Yet, you remain smart enough to not break big enough rules to cause problems. Consider this a warning mate. Taking popshots at Mith and UC? Bad idea. Just a friendly warning from your local mod. ShatterheartArk-]

2: Even tho I know that the tripple 6 is very bad, it's not the thing that REALLY annoys me.

1: The thing that annoys me the most, is the kind of people who think they know everything as if they were from the begining of time and go as far as to say that God is imaginary.:shady:

I was going to make a sarcastic remark to this, but you know...I think it's actually funnier without me saying anything.

You know what's not a joke? Using the space bar after a punctuation mark.

Oh, and also being polite to your fellow forum members and not directly attacking people in your posts who haven't even said anything in a particular thread. And to add to that, not disrespecting the moderators.

Just saying.

1. someone who puts 666 in their username just needs to be slapped upside the head in my opinion. They're basically trying to be cool and dangerous -_-;;

2. The statement that this celebrity is God? Also...needs a slap upside the head. Now they're just being stupid and ridiculous fangirls/boys.
