Summary A US maintenance worker quit his job because his income tax form was stamped with the number 666.

 

A Tennessee maintenance worker says he quit his job because his income tax form was stamped with the number 666.

 

Walter Slonopas told The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/YGnMPD ) that accepting the number would have condemned his soul to hell. That number is considered the "mark of the beast" in the Bible s Book of Revelation describing the apocalypse.

 

The company that handles payroll for Contech Casting LLC says the number meant Slonopas  form was the 666th one mailed out.

 

The 52-year-old Slonopas says he had trouble with the number before. He was supposed to be assigned No. 668 to use when he clocked in. Because of a mix-up, he was assigned 666. He complained and got a new number.

 

A company spokesman says Contech would send a new tax form and wants to rehire Slonopas. But Slonopas says "God is worth more than money."
