“If you do something for God,” he said, “I believe that God never leaves you alone.”
Slonopas made headlines worldwide several years ago, when he quit his job at a Clarksville company over the number 666 appearing on his W-2 tax form. The number — which is mentioned in the Book of Revelation — had previously shown up on his ID badge twice.
Accepting that number, Slonopas felt at the time, would have been disrespectful to God. He still feels the same way.
“I knew it was the devil’s mark and I could not accept it,” he told Religion News Service during a recent interview.
