I looked up the following in the Bible: 1) As far as a demon being a product of Christian ignorance, we didn't make it up, it is in the Bible - Matthew 17:18. 2) As far as whether that number is associated with evil, we didn't make it up, it is in the Bible - Revelation 13:18. There are other verses in regard to my first point. There may be other verses for my second point. If you meant that Christians turned the word daemon into demon - I am not doing that. The word daemon is not what I was asking about. As far as Islam goes, what they believe is irrelevent since I am a Christian. zerotransfers <>< ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff Sarginson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 6:53 PM Subject: Re: Cvsup Handbook Example > This was all gone through a while back. > A "daemon" was for the ancient Greeks something like a "guardian angel". > It was corrupted into 'demon" with it's evil connotations by judaeo-christian > ignorance. > I believe that in Islam a demon is an ambivalent entity, capable of good > and bad. > > I asked A Christian friend whether 666 mean't anything bad to him. > He asked me if I had been drinking ;). > > -- > Regards > Cliff Sarginson > The Netherlands > > [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
