The date - 06-06-06

Perfect day to listen to all that heavy rock. The song of the day (currently playing) - Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast.

Well, I once saw a program on National Geographic in a Bible week. They did a story on the Book of Revelations. The author of this chapter is unknown. It predicts a doomsday - the future of the world. Anyway, it talks about 666 being the number of the beast (the devil).

Another interesting story in the same series - The Gospel of Judas. Yes there exists one, which was excluded from the Bible. The Pope did not include the other 20 odd gospels (some of which talked about Mary Magdelene) and the Gospel of Judas. He included the four gospels which were most popular and agreed the most with each other.

In the gospel, Jesus tells Judas that Judas is the only one who understands Him. Jesus tells Judas that he will betray him. Judas says that he was asked by Jesus to *release the man that clothes him*. Quite reminiscent of the Hindu concept of soul, isnt it?
