“The Omen”, a remake of a popular movie from 1976 based around “the anti-christ” and his arrival on Earth, is set to be released this year on June 6th. Religious folk all over, still reeling from “The DaVinci Code” are having a new fit. For those of you still scratching your heads… June 6th of this year in shorthand in 06/06/06, or 666 (the mark of the devil).
Melissa Parker of Caversham, England is pleading with Hospital administrators to induce her labor early due to the “estimated” due date of her child being 06/06/2006.
“I’m terrified the birth will go wrong or the child will have evil in him or her. Even worse my beautiful baby could be the devil himself — the anti-Christ.”
The hospital has refused every request this woman has submitted, on the grounds that inducing birth is not the best option and that nature must be allowed to at the very least attempt to run its course.
If you didn’t know better, you would think that Hollywood has it out for the religious in the world. They made a movie out of the heart attack inducing “DaVinci Code” and now they’re celebrating what could be the darkest day in our history. (Sarcasm intended)
Give me a BREAK people… this REEKS of Y2K paranoia. How many millions were wasted storing potable water, and food, upgrading computers, and rewriting software? I remember my parents storing roughly 300 gallons of water in large barrels in anticipation of the “end of technology” only to see midnight of 1/1/2000 come and go without the apocalypse falling upon us. June 6th will come and go, and I’m willing to bet that Satan won’t surface and ruin your day. Nor will your child be born with horns, or a 666 birthmark on his scalp.
CALM DOWN!
