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."
