LOL religious people are dumb as shit some times.

jesus fucking christ. The only thing that’s ever been connected to either the numbers 616 or 666… is Christians irrational terror of them, all induced by their book. GJ.

Gotta use the Bible as the reason when road-sign theft isn't a problem.

It wouldn't make sense for religious people to outright steal an item they see blashphemous; they wouldn't want to keep it around.

I suspect edgy people just wanted the cool sign.

That being said, I definitely can see religious people vandalising them.

Wait until they hear about Finnair flight 666 to Helsinki (HEL) on Friday the 13th... Sadly that flight is no longer a thing, but Finnair still flies from Singapore (SIN) to HEL.
