I consider 666 the mark of two thirds.
Am I correct in presuming you mean the two thirds of the American populace sane enough to disapprove of Trump and his job performance?
You could go with that, but no.

2 / 3 = .666...
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

I was speculating that the decimal point might have been implied. Thanks for the explanation.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I am strongly inclined to agree with the view that it is far more probable that the supposed "prophecies" in The Bible are more likely to be descriptions of "...events which have already been fulfilled in history..." than predictions of future events.
A preterist view would mean John wrote the Revelation prior to 70AD. There are a couple of additional markers like the abrupt ending of Acts with no mention of the destruction of the temple. An interesting comparison is with Josephus who mentions seeing armies coming in the clouds at the destruction of the temple.

A clean break is at Revelation 19, leading to a partial preterist view that most of Revelation has been fulfilled but there is still more to come. If the prophecy were written after fulfillment, Revelation 19 remains.

Some additional vocab words (if you don’t already know them—I don’t want to be presumptuous) include premillennial, amillennial, and postmillennial as varying explanations to try to account for the open ending.

Chortle.......that's what I suspected. You just can't fix stupid.
Well, at least Ajax grudgingly admits that even his idol, Trump, may not be perfect, but even that admission would be enough to incur Trump's ire and dismissal of any in his administration who openly expressed it. ;)
He is not my god, nor has ever asked me to worship him. He's my president. He was the man who stood up for the interests of his people the same way George Washington stood up for the rights of his people. The problem with too many individuals and big personalities on the right is that they demand a president who agrees with them on everything. The ridiculous in fighting that exists loses sight of the big picture and the catastrophic consequences and captivity that will result if the Democrats get get ahold of power once more. Our paycheck and our property will be redistributed to illegal immigrants and welfare queens. Our 1st and 2nd amendments will be gone. We'll be cast out at best or taken captive like a conquered people who no longer have the means to resist those who now hold them captive. But even imperfect, Trump understands loyalty amongst his brethren. Whether you be a goofy looking white farm boy living paycheck to paycheck, an enlisted man just trying to feed and provide health insurance for his young family, or even when he returns home missing a leg, loyalty does not only go one way with Donald Trump. This is what the left does not understand. They can't understand why they can't separate Donald Trump from his base. Why do these lowly people of modest means support him. Because that same loyalty we give him, he gives back to us. We don't ask him to give up his family wealth. We asked him to enforce the border. He did it, when no other Republican ever would give anything more than false promises and double talk. We asked him to root out the fraud, waste, and abuse. And he has allowed us to expose it. We've DOGED much of it. As much as I hate social security, I'm not going to breakup the coalition over it. Even if all Trump did were to enforce the border he'd have had my loyalty forever. But that's not all. We've put liberal Europe on notice that we're not their mercenaries nor their free military defense service anymore. Either contribute and pull your weight or NATO is over. If we have to spend our blood and taxpayers dollars to rid ourselves of the Ayatollahs, then there is nothing morally wrong with taking the oil to pay for it. If we have to spend our blood and treasure to get Putin out of Ukraine, you better believe we're going to expect payment in the form of rare earth metals and the winners share of the business. Ben Shapiro didn't like the trade war. He didn't even like Trump the first time around. But he never lost sight of the big picture and in return he's gotten the best foreign policy ever as Christians and Jews come together to obliterate the Ayatollahs and radical Islamic terrorists.

Dismissal? Trump has brought in more black and hispanic votes than any RINO before him, all the while remaining true to people like me. This is what is unprecedented. It testifies to the truth of the America First message. It testifies that in spite of societal moral decay, there is still a majority of honest people of all races and socioeconomic status with enough integrity and loyalty to come together as Americans and reestablish the Constitution and become one nation under God once more.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Loyalty only goes one way with Trump. You are useful to him only so far as your vote and your money can serve him. Otherwise you and your wants are to be disposed of as soon as convenient, as just seen with his h-2b reversal.

The 1A only works as long as you agree with Trump - as schools around the country have found out - and the 2A is to be disposed of in favor of claiming that you have no right to carry at a protest, and may be shot to death without consequence if you dare to bring your legally-owned weapon.

DOGE failed to root out even 1% of the waste and fraud that it claimed it would eliminate. DOGE just stole your private information to sell to Trump’s and Elon’s friends, then packed up and left town.

Trump provides no moral example to his Base, unless his Base desires to be adjudicated rapists, repeat adulterers, convicted fraudsters, pathological liars or sexual abusers in service of child traffickers that he’ll protect from exposure by any and all means.

Trump has lost a significant number of Black and Latino voters who supported him for economic reasons, due to his lies about and failures with the economy.

Trump’s tariffs have produced no manufacturing renaissance in America, but they have raised your prices.

Trump has bowed down to Putin and has decided to reignite and participate in sloppy forever wars by acting as Netanyahu’s lap dog.

Trump has spent most of his time and energy playing golf, posting unhinged ALLCAPS rants and dumb AI images to Truth Social, and generating grift schemes with World Liberty Financial, memecoins and cheap-ass imported Chinese goods with his name and gold foil stamped all over it, marketed to his Base in order to suck more money out of them.

Our national debt has increased to a record high and our trade deficit has worsened.

Your food, energy, clothing, gas, mortgage and insurance costs are higher now than ever.

You seem to have chosen poorly. And for what? Because there were some brown folks mowing lawns and installing shingles somewhere in town.

TDS is on display every time Xanax posts his unthinking sycophancy here.

Speaking of WW3 and the drunkard in charge of the Department of Defense… he quoted the Pulp Fiction fake Bible verse at a church service because the phony is Biblically illiterate. This is yet another humiliation we all after to suffer because idiots like Xanax voted for a con man, yet again.

... [Hegseth] quoted the Pulp Fiction fake Bible verse at a church service because the phony is Biblically illiterate. This is yet another humiliation we all after to suffer because idiots like Xanax voted for a con man, yet again.

Goodness, so he did. As the Independent tells us:
Hegseth said the prayer, “CSAR 25:17,” which stands for “Combat Search and Rescue,” is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17. He then urged his audience to pray with him.

“The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil man. Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherds the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother, and you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee. Amen,” Hegseth said.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a prayer at the Pentagon on Wednesday that resembled a fictional prayer Samuel L. Jackson’s character delivers in the movie Pulp Fiction (Miramax)
The actual Ezekiel 25:17 reads: “And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.”

Instead of the scripture Hegseth mentioned, his prayer appears to mirror the fictional Ezekiel 25:17 that Samuel L Jackson’s character, Jules Winnfield, delivered before killing a character in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

“There’s a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17,” Jackson’s character said. “The path of righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”
Has this man no respect for Holy Scripture?

Yes, he is. We prefer a man who is truthful, has integrity, and cares about the American issues facing us, not wars with Israel in charge. Trump administration has just yet again recently given more tax cuts to the billionaires, of which, certainly you got no benefit from since it means you are helping pay them.

I swear, Trump should come with a Black Box warning. "I'm all about the Gospel". Yeah right. He doesn't even know what the Gospel is. Getting a deal with Iran re: nuclear weapons. We already had one, you dolt. Does he think we don't know any of this? He's the only one who doesn't know it. He is the least self aware person in the public eye I've ever seen in my life. Spitballing his way through his term. Again.
