2/3 is NOT 666, it is 0.666 recurring. That is an entirely different number to six hundred, three score and six. There is even question marks hanging over the validity of that number, as some manuscripts actually have 616 as the number of the beast.
Regardless, quit wasting your life away because of superstition. If you truly believed that computers were the image of the beast then you would not be using them, you would be living an Amish lifestyle.
I am sick of people who twist religion in order to fit their beliefs. This is why its persisted throughout the ages, because its so easy to twist to fit pretty much any situation. This is why its such a dangerous, evil tool that has been used to control people for millennia.

I would hang him up myself for telling the world a massive pack of lies.
He is the biggest con artist in human history. He got what he deserved.

There seems to be gross misinterpretations of ancient text concerning the return of the christ.
How will Jesus return? Christ's coming will be unexpected and dramatic. It's in the BIble, 2 Peter 3:10, NKJV. "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up."
What will Jesus look like when He returns? It’s in the Bible, Luke 21:27, NKJV. “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”
How visible is His coming to be? It’s in the Bible, Matthew 24:27, NKJV. “For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Revelation 1:7, NKJV. “Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.”
1 Corinthians 15:51-54, NKJV. “Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
The second coming has nothing to do with a bearded man. You should realize this. Athiests and Christians alike have grossly misinterpreted the bible.

The account in Matthew ch24 indicates that he would come backed by the full power of God.
In that case, there would be no question of human power "allowing" him to do things. They would not get the chance to stop him.

The full power of God must be incredible, seeing as how He's already done so much for us already.
Plague, pestilence, war, famine, poverty, rape, murder, theft, deception...

Could you possibly reveal the truth for those of us not in the know? Please cite all references and sources if you would. I would truly appreciate learning from someone who knows the pack of lies from the truth. Thank you in advance for your contribution.

If you are a Luciferian, you might want to retract your statement.
Since, y'know, Jesus is Lucifer.
