Even funnier is that 666 is a positive/holy number in Judaism.
It represents the creation of the physical world: The 6 directions, (cardinal directions plus up and down), and the 6 days of creation, and repeating a number represents strengthening it, i.e. it represents perfecting the physical world.
It's also the Gematria (numerical value) of a prayer requesting divine mercy.
