Well, first keep in mind that I wasn't the one that said you shouldn't have posted in the first place. 
I do understand your viewpoint, even though I vehemently disagree with it. However, I can understand Erik's position as your post wasn't phrased at all like a question. It was a post with a "rock on" tribute to Satan and rolling eyes towards the idea of Christ existing. You probably wouldn't have been jumped on had you worded it similiar to how you just did above...

I suppose so. I just find it amusing that someone registers and makes a first post declaring that their pastor says the anti-chris is coming, hence my reply was rather negative.

Who's Chris?
{or is this a reference to the previous Dr Who?}
Moreover, why is anyone against him?

That the whole of revalation is a colossally tortuous example of a madmans fantasy and the ravings of a schizophrenic is something the Catholic church also has been in great conflict about. It's hardly surprising then that many people think it's about as apposite to the bible as the necronomicon.

The number 666 is the number of his name.
Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
It is not the date that he is going to born but the some of his name. Now the question is which method do we use to get that number because there are many different ways of getting numbers from names. Also which language to we use to get this number because names in different languages will give different numbers? Also could this name be a name that in all languages and all methods?
The Bible delibrately does not give the name of this person because then there would be some people delibrately naming there child that way and thus try and prove the passage wrong.

Interesting wiki has some good stuff on this.

When the antichrist turns up the Jews will herald him as the Messaiah and the Christians as the antichrist, it might get a tad confusing at that point

Well, half the world will hail him as the Messiah.

Quote from the Bible: "No one knows the hour or the date...".
Numerology isn't gonna help, and it wouldn't be THAT obvious. The general view is:
Chapter 1923137123917 of the Human Race on Planet Earth -
WWIII
Some divine intervention (also known as the 3 days of darkness - probably partially arriving as a nuclear winter or something)
A period of peace where Christianity is spread to all people (that's also in scripture).
The antichrist comes (that's the one the Jewish people will think is the Messiah, and even lead a portion of Christians astray). It's often said he'd only reign for 3 1/2 years. From what I've gathered once, it would appear that by then, the earth might be united into several large provinces - sort of like the European Union, but with larger regions).
Jesus comes (nope, sorry Baptists, no rapture - everyone leaves at the same time.)
The End.
When, you ask? It could be in 50 years, or could be in 500. We just don't know.
Just to summarize another passage, just go about your daily lives like any other day (go to work/school/church, etc. just as you'd normally do). It'll come when it gets here.
Honestly, I thought it was going to be some spam thread.
You've watched that 'candy-man' movie once too often.
Anyway, asking a religous type question isn't always the best place to find an answer in the Off Topic forum (or this entire forum for that matter).

Actually I think it was from a ritual where you drew a penticle on a table then recited the devils name three times and if you had fulfilled the spells physical and somantic components the Devil is suposed to appear, that and a mix of the "speak of the devil" phrase. It might be in the necronomicon, unfortunately I can't ask HP Lovecraft as he's dead?
Candy man is a horror classic, I hope your watching hollywood that's horror not Blair(couple of poorly shot hours filmed in a wood with a dire plot) Witch Project or flippin Chucky 976 this time he gets reduced to friggin quarks and fired into the andromeda galaxies black hole but guess what the friggin' Asgard form friggin' Stargate bring him back and recombine him because he looks kinda cute and besides Chucky 977 is about his revenge a friggin' gain!!!

Here is a passage that supports Revelation and it is written by the Apostle PaulSidhe said:I personally don't believe a word of Revelation(for me it is the book that should not be in the NT) So what the world will believe or disbelieve to me is irrelevant since it's all nonsense anyway. But I acknowledge the point.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Thee is so much about the end times in the Bible and it does not just occur in Revelations, which does seem to show that revelation is not that far out of a book after all. In the Old Testament there are more prophesies concering the second coming than the first coming.

There is no anti-christ because there is/was no christ.
Wow, that was a good...(counts)...dozen words without adding ANYTHING to the debate, whatsoever. Amazing!
On-topic: I think that we can dispense with the whole "666" crap. The Bible should not be taken seriously, nor should anything of the myths surrounding it.
