Why do people ALWAYS assume that the number 666 is the devil?????? If 666 was the devil's number, Mathematics would be outlawed.

Its in the Bible, so why wouldn't people think that?
Revelation 13:17-18 (Wycliffe New Testament)
17 that no man may buy, either sell, but they have the character, either the name of the beast, either the number of his name. [that no man may buy, or sell, no but he that hath the character, or his name, or the number of his name.]
18 Here is wisdom; he that hath understanding, acount the number of the beast; for it is the number of man, and his number is six hundred sixty and six.

Considering a numerologist could give you very positive symbols aligned with the number 666. It is representative of the whirling forces of the sun, as well as the 'christ' image... People could say, well... yeah! it is the mockery of the anti-christ... but that is just dumb logic.

actually, they don't assume it, it is blatantly said in the bible in some book called "Revelation" or "Apocalypse". Sensible Christians realize that it is more symbolic than anything, and no Christian worth their salt will ever admit they can understand that book. Anyone who says they can is a dirty rotten liar.
