It's just the same dumb shit. A combination of fundamentalist dogma with a heaping dose of numerology. Especially I loved in the commercial: "2 divided by 3 is 666". Actually it's .666666666666666666666666666666666666&c. But if you change to a nonary instead of decimal it'll be .6, so, hey, there's that. Remember the movie “The Number 23″.

Assuming that the divine inspiration for the text dates back to when it first appeared in any form, it is remarkable that the wholly arbitrary assignment of "35" and "8" to the chapter and verse should cause such a stir among these faithful.
