I will apologize ahead of time because what I need to say is off-topic but I keep seeing posts in reference to 'saving' people who have 666 flowers.
The facts are the 'Number of the Beast' was actually originally '616' not '666'. It was only in more modern times this '666' number appeared in translated biblical texts. Actually at one time the number '665' was the number that Christians feared as the 'the mark'! Scholars have shown that the number was more than likely a code, at the time it was written about, for the Roman Emperor Nero who was feared by Christians. He was thought so evil he must surely be the 'Beast' in the holy texts. If they had used his name they would have been put to death... or far,far worse (hence the code). BUT, whatever the number, it's JUST a number!!! Over the centuries many good people have have ruined their own lives fretting about such things or worse had their lives destroyed by others who get all worked up over 'bad omens' or 'marks of evil' that actually mean nothing... Numbers don't bring evil or bad luck on you... that's just us programming ourselves for for failure. One fact I can say for certain and doubt that even the most stringent Christian could disagree with is that whatever your religion, I am SURE 'God' is not going to think poorly of you for having ANY number of sweet little friendship flowers... Let who you are be represented by WHAT you do and HOW you live not some misinterpreted number.
