I never said anything about blaming or thanking. You said no number has harmed or helped us. I'm fairly certain anyone who hasn't lived under a rock for the past fifty years has both dialed 911 and seen some rendition of the tragedy that happened on that date. As such, yes, numbers can be (and are) closely associated with events that make them memorable.
Just like 911.

Sometimes we can't go against our convictions.
Do you ever go against your own convictions or conscience? Would you feel good if someone told you to go against them?
A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616.

Atheists, cowards, satanists, and nere-do-well malcontents of every stripe would do well to take heed of the warnings written in the Book of Revelation for they are intended for you directly -

Obviously it was Whitney's strategy to win favor from her Evangelical Church, friends and family.
Clever young woman to solidify her position in her Christian community and get her 15 min.. of fame at the same time. She could have asked for another number but used the 666 as a soap box to promote her religious agenda.
It takes real talent to be clever and lame all at the same time.

Please read the OP (we know you didn't) otherwise we'll think you are lying to us intentionally - BTW if you did read the the OP you would have known that she hails from Whitley County, and that her name is NOT Whitney - its Codie. You make it so easy to be made a fool of - I didn't even have to exert any effort -

Coach Croley said, “I wouldn't have been more proud of her if she won the entire meet. She stood on her principles; she stood for what she believed in.”
This is pathetic! So she believes in evil numbers? Give me a break!

Bible literalists would do well to take heed of the facts ...
- '666' isn't an evil number and the girl is a well intentioned but brainwashed idiot.
- NO ONE knows what Revelation says. It's a mess.
- Scripture scholars can't even agree if it's '666' or 616'.
- MOST of early Christianity completely rejected 'Revelations', believing it to be nonsense. It wasn't until into the 500's that it started to be accepted.
While you are at it .. educate yourself a bit on the bible ..

It didn't make sense to people in early christianity because it wasn't meant for their time. The prophecies are meant for certain people, some of those people lived thousands of years ago, some of those people are alive today.
