I react to this as I react to my African compadres who are famously church-going, yet terrified of black magic and witchcraft: "How can you be this way? Don't you realize how you are protected by baptism?" As for me, if I were measuring out distance, I would not flinch at the 666th foot. I would move on to the 667th and onward. It's very much like the Hindus rejecting the Nazi expropriation of the swastika. Just because the evil side has taken things to symbolize their evil does not mean they own them, nor should we think so.
