Man Fired for Refusing to Wear 666 Sticker

Post by rab » Thu Nov 24, 2011 2:09 pm

snippet
Hyatt told Channel 2's Tom Jones in an exclusive interview that his faith forbids wearing what he called the "mark of the beast."

"I cannot. I will never, ever, ever put that number on my body," Hyatt said.

Hyatt is a staunch believer in the Bible, including what Revelations chapters 13 and 14 say about the number 666.

"The people that accept the mark, they're going to burn in hell," he told Jones. "There's no way that I'm going to put that on my body," he said

Funny how this guy doesn't know his bible very well. Isn't this ridiculous idea of the mark supposed to occur AFTER the rapture and the appearance of the anti-christ?

"He told Jones he wants people to know he's simply a Christian and not crazy for taking this stance."

Um...

Presumably he will be just as eager to the defend the rights of other religions, secularists and atheists when they refuse to have Christian voodoo imposed on them.

How does one go about 'rufusing'?

I worked in an office once where this lady handled a lot of numbers. Every time she saw "666" in a number she would get up, go outside and pray. Every damn time. I wondered if they docked her pay for that.

The irony of his boss telling him, "It's just a sticker" then having him fired for not wearing it. If it's 'just a sticker" then why make an issue of it?
I'm with the Christian here.
