No. 1? He is the head honcho. Or how about "3" for the Holy Trinity?

if 666 is satan, then the anti-satan must be god.

therefore, it is -666.

edit: -666 is the anti-666 since it neutralizes it.

Actually, this is true. 666 is Man's number, and it signifies the Antichrist. Of course, the Antichrist is in league with Satan, so if you want to get technical, maybe it does signify Satan.

If you want to get technical, satan means enemy, so the antichrist is satan :p

since god is imaginary, it's only fitting to associate the number i with him

"By using 666, we're using something that Christians fear," Peter Gilmore, high priest of the Church of Satan recently said in the British newspaper The Independent. "Mind you, if they do switch to 616 being the number of the beast, then we'll start using that."

LOL!

Oookay, long explanation of divine numbers.

The number 3 represents heavenly and divine perfection.

The number 4 represents earthly and material perfection.

'Godly perfection' is represented by both these elements, or by 7 (add 3+4, easy).

That's why Satan's number is 6 - it falls short of 7, IE., Satan attempts to set himself up as a god, but cannot actually measure up.

The "perfect number", then, is 12 (3 * 4). There were 12 apostles, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 patriarchs, 12 foundations of heavenly Jerusalem, 12 gates, 12 pearls, 12 angels, walls of New (heavenly) Jerusalem where to be 12,000 furlongs long, etc. (Worth noting that "the number sealed" in Revelation is stated as 144,000 - 12 * 12 a thousand times)

There are various other takes on it, as well. Some have it that '3' represents divine perfection, '7' represents spiritual perfection, and '12' denotes governmental perfection.

And if you really wanna get nasty then it would also signify God. After all, he created everything right? So also Satan, and the evils which he could choose from to become the evil being the Bible claims him to be. Humans are 'Children of God' as God created them, Satan was also created by God, so both Satan as well as the Antichrist will basically be God's children too ;)
