Is it a sin to pay $6.66 for something? Yes, yes it is.
So, the other day I went to the McDonald's here in Freehold for breakfast. It's been a while since my doctor advised me to stay away from a fast food, high carb, and high sugar diet, since I've had two heart attacks in the past two years, but I figured Our Lord Jesus Christ would look after me, being such a Godly man and all. Of course, I haven't been able to post much recently, being in the hospital for extended stays, but the problem has seemed to work itself out.
I paid $1.99 for an Egg McMuffin, $2.39 for a large iced coffee, and then $1.79 for a Reeses Pieces McFlurry ice cream for dessert, but the total after tax came to $6.66. I was immediately taken back.
McDonald's: "That will be $6.66, sir."
Me: "Well, I won't pay that."
McDonald's: "Sir, the total you ordered is $6.66, and that is what you need to pay."
I was shocked. I know Christ has taught us that money is separate from our holy holdings in heaven...
Matthew 22:20-21
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Yet, at the same time, I realized that money and trade is what the Devil uses to control us (Obama recently enforced mandatory credit card chip implants into people, according to one of the Tea Party facebook pages I subscribe to)...
Revelation 13:16-17
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
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.
Thus, I realized I was in a predicament. Here I was, being forced to pay $6.66 to McDonald's, when it is clear that the Bible says the Devil will force us to pay $6.66 for items. To do so, would be a sin.
I bargained for a cheaper price. "Can I just pay six dollars even?" I offered. I was declined. So I offered $6.50 and then $6.60. I was refused. I then requested to speak to the manager. After a while a manager came out and I told him about how it was a sin for a True Christian(tm) like myself to pay $6.66 for anything, in that I would be enabling Satan's plot in world domination, so he offered that if I buy an additional product he would throw in a free apple pie.
So, I requested a second Reese's McFlurry ice cream, which changed the total, and I also got a free apple pie out of it. In the end, I won. Although, I did scold him out and suggest to him that other True Christians(tm) like myself could not wield such an appetite and that it would behoove him to ignore the $6.66 total and give them a cheaper amount.
DO NOT ALLOW SATAN'S MARK UPON YOUR HAND! Paying $6.66 for anything is accepting the Devil unto you, and rejecting Jesus Christ as your savior and Lord. DO NOT EVER PAY $6.66 LEST YOU BE THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE FOR ALL OF ETERNITY.
Revelation 20:11-15
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Is a Reece's McFlurry worth an eternity in Hell?
