Numerology... the straight dope

[Don]

Not quite sure why I'm running across these numerology things lately... must be something in the numbers. Nonetheless, if you're looking for The Straight Dope on numerology (or most anything else), have a look here (http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mnumerology.html).

Maybe someone's trying to tell me I should be getting into this more than I am. :hmm:

Interesting article. :D

Ya know, I heard of there being people who have tried to decode the bible and figure out the end of the world and I find that just pure craziness.

First of all, I don't think theres a code like some claim and even if it did happen :eek: theres not a darn thing you can do about it anyway so why try?
People are paranoid enough already. We don't need anything else to worry about, we've got plenty.

Also, I don't think there are any bad numbers in numerology. All numbers have their positive and negative sides and different levels of lessons to learn.

Hehe... the sad part is, even if they're right about the Bible, they won't be around to say, "I told you so."

Jenny,
Great post. I really agree. I have know people who really obsess about things like this, and since 9-11 it seems to have intensived. Being paranoid about things not in our control is not a way I want to spend my life!
