Current mood:  contemplative
I for one thought this was EXTREMELY interesting.  Yes it's kinda lenghty, but it shows how the number 666 was actually created in spite against the Roman empire.  This isn't the first place I've seen this info, but this does explain it the best out of any site.

------------------------------------------------------------



Domitian. Cilicia, Tarsus.
AR Tetradrachm, 26mm (14.00 gm). Struck AD 93-95.

Laureate head right, AYTO KAI ΘE YI ΔOMITIANOΣ ΣE ΓEP / Tyche seated right, holding palm branch, river-god (Kydnos?) swimming beneath, TAP in right field. RPC II 1727; Sear GIC 865.


Let me begin by giving proper credit where credit is due. The photograph above was taken by Merrill Gibson of Apollo Numismatics. When I purchased the coin from Merrill, I asked if I could use his photo on my collection website and in this blog... I knew I could never top his photo!

I love this coin! It's big! It's silver! It's gorgeous! And, it's Domitian!!! This is definitely the jewel of my Domitian collection. Merrill's photo is stunning, but so is the coin. The details on the face of the swimming river-god are well intact, as are those on Tyche and the palm branch she holds. Click on the image above and you'll be taken to a larger image... and there you'll see what I mean!

The portrait reveals an emperor weary from insecurity and suspicion of conspiracy in the later years of his reign. His gaze bears witness to the demons that incited his paranoia. Domitian's reign of terror began at around AD 93 and lasted until his death in AD 96... about the same time that this coin was struck.

Domitian was murdered by his own servants who feared that they themselves were slated for a similar fate. The empress Domitia, also fearing for her life during these, Domitian's unstable years, provided encouragement to his murderers.

The cruelty and executions during his reign of terror were so odius that he earned the nickname "the Beast" amongst Romans, Greeks, Christians and Jews, according to Ethelbert Stauffer in Coniectanea Neotestamentica XI in honorem Antonii Fridrichsen sexagenarii. Ethelbert Stauffer was a German Protestant theologian who held that gematria, the numerology of the Hebrew language and alphabet, could be used to explain the Biblical number 666. Stauffer computed this "Number of the Beast" using the short form of Domitian's names and titles: Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus... which in Greek is: Autokrator Kaisar Dometianos Sebastos Germanikos. The latter abbreviates to A KAI ΔOMET ΣEB ΓE and the gematrical formula reads:

A. K A I. Δ O M E T. Σ E B. Γ E.
1+ 20+1+10+4+70+40+5+300+200+5+2+ 3+5 = 666

Stauffer further contended that "the Beast" could only refer to Domitian because he reigned during the time that the Book of Revelation was written... the Book in which the number 666 was introduced. To further the idea that the number 666 related to Domitian, Robert Graves wrote, in The White Goddess, that DCLXVI, 666 in Roman numerals, is an abbreviation for the Latin sentence “Domitianus Caesar Legatos Xti Violenter Interfecit”, or “The Emperor Domitian violently killed the envoys of Christ".

Another interesting correlation comes from The Greco-Roman World of the New Testament Era: Exploring the Background of Early Christianity, by James Jeffers. In that book, Jeffers writes, "A number of New Testament commentators have seen a connection between Rome and its cult of emperor worship and the Book of Revelation. The reference in Revelation 17:9 to seven heads of the "beast", which are "seven hills on which the woman [the great harlot] sits", has been taken as a reference to the famed seven hills on which Rome was founded. The woman is identified later as "the great city that rules over the kings of the earth" (Revelations 17:18). The connection to emperor worship is seen in Revelation 13:4, 8, where this same beast is worshipped by all the people of the earth. As the emperor of Rome (eg. Nero and Domitian) had persecuted Christians, Revelation predicts that this beast will war on the people of God. In this interpretation, Revelation 14:9-10 is warning Christians not to engage in emperor worship."

Others, including Nero, have been identified with the number 666 via Hebrew gematria. However, we're not talking about a coin of Nero, now are we? If you're interested in an interesting explanation of gematria, take a look at the following webpage on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gematria

Apologies for the long tangent about the theory that the number 666 refers to Domitian... I just found it interesting and thought you might too. This coin isn't without its own Biblical reference. Tarsus, the city in which this coin was minted, was the birthplace of the Apostle Paul. Isn't it ironic then, that a coin of the purported Biblical "Beast" was struck in the very city that brought us the most notable of early Christian missionaries.

As I fall asleep I see her face,
Her pretty eyes staring back at me.
I can feel her soft silky skin,
A more perfect woman there can't be.

Her beauty is something to behold,
Just one look and I'm entranced.
I wish for her embrace for a while,
The sensation I feel is so enhanced.

I can practically hear her breath,
The hair on my neck stands on end.
She is so smart, cute, and sexy,
Life without her I can't comprehend.

It feels like I'm being pulled towards her,
I can just about taste a kiss.
I wouldn't trade her for the world,
My kitten, tigress, sweet demoness

A brief description of questions 1, 2, and 3 for Massachusets, what I voted on them, and why.


Question 1 - Basically this passing would severly decrease the state income tax for next year, and then get rid of it by 2010.

I voted NO on this. At first I was all for it, but the more I thought about it, the more apparant it became of how bad of an idea this is. Just look at my state's neighbors to the north, New Hampshire. No sales or income tax, but their property tax is literally through the roof because of it. Basically it's not getting rid of the tax, it would just be moving it somewhere else.


Question 2- If this passes it will decriminalize, NOT legalize, up to one ounce of marijuana. So basically instead of getting arrested and having it put on your record, it would just get confiscated and you'ld have to pay a fine.

I voted YES on this. Probably the biggest reason is that many drug laws as they are today just really aren't fair. Like as they are now, say someone from the middle of nowhere experiments in college and gets caught with like a 1/4 of an ounce of pot. They get arrested and lose most chance of getting a good job.
Does that seem fair to you?

Question 3- If this passes it will phase out greyhound racing in the state by 2010.

I voted YES on this. I voted that way for a few reason, but there were two main ones. THe biggest and probably most obvious one is that the dogs are kept in cramped quarters about 95% of the time and are more often than not abused. Second, what greyhound tracks don't want you to know is that it takes a LOT of donations AND taxpayer money to keep them open.

Current mood:  aggravated

There was video by National Geographic that was featured today.  It was on the people helping the dogs rescued from Mike Vicks house be rehibillitated and hopefully someday ready for adoption into loving homes. The video was great and had a great message showing that there are still some people out there who are willing to go the extra mile.

However, once I started reading the comments, I was awe struck at the sheer stupidity of numerous people saying stuff about the video. To the point where I was literally glued to watching new comments come up to see what ignorant bullshit was going to be spewed next.

These comments varied on subjects too.  Some people were saying basically "What's the big deal? They're just stupid dogs!" or"People fight for sport all the time, what's the difference?".  Others were saying that it's "no big deal cause he didn't murder a human" or that "you buy clothing from sweat shops so you can't complain".  There were also people STILL trying to convince everyone that it's only because Vick is black that this issue has gotten so much attention.  Some ignorant assholes were even going as far as to fucking praise him!

First off, saying that they're only dogs is ignorant.  Just because it's not a human that was injured or killed does not, under ANY circumstances mean that it's okay or that nobody should care. That's like complaining that a cop is arresting someone for tresspasing when there's drunk drivers somewhere in the world.  Just because it's not as extreme as other crimes does not mean it isn't a crime.

The next one I wanted to touch on was the comments comparing it to people fighting for sport.  If you don't realize how much of a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference there is between boxing, cage fighting, etc. and fighting dogs, then you really need to learn to think.  When people fight for sport, there's usually referees, doctors, and so on, to make sure that nobody gets too seriously injured.  When people force dogs to fight for sport, it's usually to the death.  And if a dog gets injured too seriously to where it can't fight, the people usually kill it because "it's not making profit".

Now one big issue I wanted to hit was the people saying that everyone who dislikes or hates Vick now is racist or that it's only being made into such a big deal because Vick is black.  If you truly and honestly believe that, then I'm sorry, but you are seriously fucking ignorant.  First off, way to keep racism alive morons.  It's idiots like this that ARE part of the reason racism can sometimes be so prevolant even today because they act like every single white person in the world is a racist asswipe.  And it's not because Vick is rich either.  I can pretty much garuntee you that if anyone of any race or any social class was fighting dogs like Vick was it would most likely make the news.  It's the people that think otherwise and saying it's because it's Mike Vick that are the ones making a big deal out of who it was that did it, not the people who truely care for the dogs.

Lastly, if you're one of those fuckers who's actually ignroant enought ro praise what he did, or any kind of abuse like it, then you seriously need to either grow the hell up or seriously get your priorities straightened out.

I'm going to finish up by leaving you with this little tidbit of information.  Most serial killers start off abusing or killing animals before they move on to people.  Think about that the next time you want to defend Vick's dog fighting.

This was ....... different.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you ready to step outside of your comfort zones?

-Be 100% honest and truthful. I don't want people ruining this by making up bullshit answers.

-If you're squeamish or easily offended, then you probably shouldn't take this quiz. Some of these questions are pretty intense.

-All ten of these questions are meant to be hypothetical, or "what if", questions. Please do not act on or do something stupid just becasuse of your answer to one of these questions.


1.
If you had to choose between marrying someone you hate but having a great sex life with them and marrying your "soul mate"/true love but not being able to have sex with them at all, what would you choose?

I would choose to be married to my true love. No contest. I could never life my life with anyone else then the one who completes me.



2.
If you were walking, either for enjoyment or to get somewhere, and you saw a white man writing racial slurs, what would you do if he yelled "White Power!" to you as you passed?

Depends. If I was going somewhere or meeting someone, I'd probably just completely ignore him.
What I would want to do, which is a possibility if I was just casually walking, would be to flip him off and yeall "Fuck you power!"


3.
If you came across someone beating the living shit out of a defenseless animal with some sort of blunt object, what would you do?

Are you kidding? I'd run over and either drop or beat the shit out of whoever was abusing the animal. No hestiation what-so-ever.



4.
If you were going to kill someone that you hated with every single fiber of your being, and there would be absolutely no consequences whatsover, how would you do it?

Again, depends. I wouldn't use a gun, explosives or anything like that, cause it's too quick. If I wanted them to never know what hit them, I'd probably use a katana (samurai sword), sneak up behind them, and lop their head off with one clean swing. If I wanted them to know it was me and add a little more of a "personal touch", I'd probably use like a mahcete or something and shank them in the chest and gut a few dozen times.



5.
If you were out with your girlfriend or boyfriend and someone tried to kill them, what would you do?

I'd try to protect her and save her life at any cost and as much as humanly possible. I would litterally sacrfice my own life as human shield if it let her escape with her life. I really mean it too. I'm not just saying that because it's the "heroic", "noble", or "chivalrous" thing to do. That is TRUELY what I would do.



6.
If someone came up to you and offered you $5,000 dollars go into a church during a service, and yell "Hail Satan!" at the top of your lungs would you?

LOL.
If nobody in the church knew it was me who yelled it, I'd do it for FREE just to see people's reactions and the looks on their faces!


7.
If someone offered you one billion dollars to assinate your favorite music artist or the lead singer of your favorite band, would you?

I might think about it, but I'm pretty sure I would decline the offer. I could not survive without my music, lol.



8. If you were forced to choose between being filthy rich and having your one true love, which would you pick.


Again, no contest. I would rather be broke and with the one I love then by rolling in piles of money.



9.
Your close friend gets jumped by ten people and they start attacking him/her, what would you do?

I don't care HOW many there are, I'd help my friend out! Messing with me is a bad idea. Messing with my friends is a death wish.



10.
If you were in a store while it got robbed by a few men armed with guns, wold you try to be a hero?
As a last resort. If they ONLY took the money and weren't going to hurt anybody, I'd probably just be smart and comply. However, if they started shooting at people, there's a good chance I'd try to stop them. LOL, knowing my clumsy ass though I'd probably get my ass shot before I took down one of them.
