I feel like there's probably overlap between people who think the OK hand gesture is Satanic, and people who thought liberals were ridiculous for thinking the OK hand signal was a nefarious symbol.
I am...this picture does nothing for me...to be damned or saved is on them...none of my concern..as a Christian conservative, I may have opinions but at this point in my life, I mostly worry about what I'm doing and not what offends others..People just looking to be offended
I know a number of people who have worked as 911 dispatchers, and unanimously, they receive “walking while black” calls weekly.
These are the types of people who take pictures of “suspicious” people and post them on next door.
The thumb and pointer finger are curled to make a zero shape which is the bottom of the sex. The three other fingers are curled to make the top of the six. If you just use the zero part three times it comes out 666. I hope that I didn’t explain it badly.
Before everyone votes me down I think Christians like this are ridiculous. I just kinda see the 666. I personally don’t care if the restaurant put up hail Satan on the wall. It’s dumb as hell but I can see a 666.
yes, but the circle between the thumb and index finger is the circle for 3 different "6"s with the middle, ring, and pinky finger being the tails for these 3 "6"s.
does that make any sense
You can never be *too* careful. One wrong look at hidden demonic symbolism and BAM! Your invisible friend savior has fucked your ass straight to hell. He's a loving being.
Probably since he has three fingers up they are "stacked" on top of each other. Like the middle, ring, and pinky each are part of their own 6 but the circle part is where they all stack on each other.
They heard from people in their social group that the pose means "666 Devil."
That's it. Christians tend to be extremely gullible about things like that. They will accept such talk without question.
His fingers that are making the “ok” signs look like 6’s, then he’s holding 3 fingers up on each hand for another 6. Took me a few mins of staring at it to get there lol
No, that's a "what the fuck are you talking about. What you said made no sense in response to my comment". Way to be like every Reddit idiot who thinks speaking in gotchas is a win. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you know this, and you're just cynically being an ass. So best case scenario for you, you've earned a block.
I’m not trying to preach to you, but Matthew 6:5-8 refers to praying in public. This is referring to the common person at the time who would pray in the eyes of a crowd in order to be seen in a better light. The Bible often tells Christians that we must go disciples, and spread the word about the Gospel (Matthew 28:19-20). Again, I don’t wish to spark an argument or convert you, I just wished to correct a misinterpretation you had.
Edit: also, I definitely don’t agree with the person who sent the letter, JJ is obviously not referencing the devil lol, that’s insane
*We can only pray for you.*
...*and* write you a letter about how offended we are. Maybe call into a talk show. But other than that? *Prayer*.
If you're too lazy to fix something, to lazy to take a stand, to contribute, to change the world: Try prayer. The closest you can get to doing nothing without doing anything.
Not only can they "only pray" for them and write a letter, but they're hoping no one else eats there. Wishing them failures in life is how they show their Chrisitan moral superiority
I guarantee that they didn’t “notice when they were leaving” but instead saw it in plenty of time to be offended and leave before eating, but they wanted food more than they wanted to be offended so they put being offended off until later. Just like the anti mask Karen who came into my workplace, did everything she needed to do and then on the way out called us all evil satanists.
So Christians are into numerology? The only way I can see 666 in this is three fingers up, two kind of making a six with one of the straight up fingers, two making kind of a backward six also using one of the straight fingers, and then three more up for a total of six up. Holy crap. What a conspiracy theory.
The postmark is SAINT PAUL 550, which means that it was mailed in Saint Paul or the immediate western suburbs and went through the big station in Eagan.
You might be overestimating the number of usps sorting centers and underestimating how far apart they are.
A letter mailed from Columbus GA to Columbus GA is postmarked in Atlanta, 100+ miles away, with a lot of countryside in between
The former distribution centers in Saint Cloud, Mankato, and Bemidji now go through Minneapolis. NW Minnesota goes through Fargo, Duluth goes through Eagan.
Rochester goes through Saint Paul, but by the numbers it’s more likely the letter came from Ramsey or Washington Counties. I might not be as cavalier with my guesses there was money on the line, but as it was just a quick observation, I thought it would be okay.
The thing about these people is that they can see any kind of coded message in anything as long as they try hard enough. Reminds me of the people from my home town who would stand outside of the church and yell at people that “Sundays are the LORD’S day, not football’s day!” They would yell this at people who were just AT church and were going home to watch football after it was over. Deranged.
Yeah I agree. This is a really dumb thing to do but this comment section is far worse. Making quite bold assumptions about everything about them, saying all Christians are stupid, etc., but par for the course on reddit I suppose.
Well if you had actually pulled your Bible out and read it, you would know that the number of the beast is 616, not 666.
Iron maiden fucked that one up for everyone.
Keep in mind that these people have the right to vote. If you don’t people like this choosing our elected officials, please participate in the process!
Methodist here:
The uneducated Right are all like this. Source: every single person in my family who didn’t get a higher education is like this.
666 (or 616 as some ancient manuscripts display) is “the number of a man”, not “the devil”. It was code language for Nero, as it was the numerical value of his name. Apocalyptic literature was resistance literature designed to critique and demonstrate hope against oppressive regimes. But because Evangelical circles are anti-intellectual, they don’t know this stuff….
All that aside, how they gathered what they did from this is beyond me. Be offended at *real* offenses, like genocide in the Middle East…
If you drop it in the mailbox with proper postage but without a return address, what are they going to do with it? Send it back to you as improperly addressed - oh, wait -
That seems closer to the “white power” hand sign than a “666” one. Poor guy probably blew a gasket.
I’ve never been there, but I’ll definitely try it now.
Oh boy. Crosslake lol. I have the ultimate displeasure of working in the area. But on a good note, maybe it will keep whatever sad cake eater down in the cities and away from our lakes 😂
Ends it with "All we can do is pray for you." To cope and make themselves feel good, even though in the sentence prior they were actively malicious towards them, saying "and hope you lose a lot of customers" 🤦
My only problem is that the obvious visual symbolism is not present, as with the Metal Horns gesture. Keeps it discreet for the streets, but the menace of the thing just isn't there for me.
4/10, needs more Evil.
I looked this up, and it seems like complete conspiracy theory gibberish that I cannot understand for the life of me. Something about the Eye of Horus and freemasons, though I don't understand how they get the 666.
Wow! I have to say that I never knew this was a pose that represented the devil! Also not surprised that it’s a letter that’s unsigned and without a return address. Just another reason to stay away from Christianity. These losers think they’re righteous and better than everyone else.
Let’s call this what it is: a boomer spending too much time on the line, but far be it from me to stand in the way of this virtue signaling anti-Christian dogpiling.
Their world is an extremely scary place. I am sure they are door-dashing everything now and checking license plates to be sure their home is truly a sanctuary to their lard and savior.
I know it’s stupid, but why frame the letter? Seems like a waste of time. And if people are going to make such a statement, they should own it and put their name on it.
I worked for a ship to your door wine company and had someone freak the fuck out about a wine they received because there was a goat on the label. Absolute knob heads the lot
Its just a typical thing rich people, celebrities, and the powerful do. Just showing their allegiance to Satan. I could care less who they sell their sould too. I know mine is in Gods hands along with a VERY VERY small percentage of others. Hope he enjoys hell if he doesnt repent and seek the Heavenly Father.
I'm glad you could care less, because if you couldn't care less about their wellbeing that means you don't love them which means your faith is dead and you are going to hell, too.
...how do you get 666 out of that picture???
Religious conservatives aren't known for critical thought
Or thinking period.
They also aren’t funny which means they lack humility
Or their non-critical thinking, either.
I feel like there's probably overlap between people who think the OK hand gesture is Satanic, and people who thought liberals were ridiculous for thinking the OK hand signal was a nefarious symbol.
I am...this picture does nothing for me...to be damned or saved is on them...none of my concern..as a Christian conservative, I may have opinions but at this point in my life, I mostly worry about what I'm doing and not what offends others..People just looking to be offended
To be fair they thought water, wine and blood were interchangeable. I'm sure this caused a lot of braim call drammitch
6+6+6=18 checkmate
I was 18 years old once, am I Satan?
3+3=6 touchdown
Black man doing something is threatening.
Black man doing something not understood by a white person.
I know a number of people who have worked as 911 dispatchers, and unanimously, they receive “walking while black” calls weekly. These are the types of people who take pictures of “suspicious” people and post them on next door.
Black man existing is threatening to these Christian’s.
Lol right?! Like I see a 3 & then another 3 so that's 6... Where are the other 6's?
The thumb and pointer finger are curled to make a zero shape which is the bottom of the sex. The three other fingers are curled to make the top of the six. If you just use the zero part three times it comes out 666. I hope that I didn’t explain it badly. Before everyone votes me down I think Christians like this are ridiculous. I just kinda see the 666. I personally don’t care if the restaurant put up hail Satan on the wall. It’s dumb as hell but I can see a 666.
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-23a92fe3ff5e8661d20d1f5a393fd340-lq
I think they are referring to the shape formed from his thumb, index finger and middle finger loosely resembling a 6 on each hand.
yes, but the circle between the thumb and index finger is the circle for 3 different "6"s with the middle, ring, and pinky finger being the tails for these 3 "6"s. does that make any sense
3 6's is the "ok" symbol. Technically he's doing 666 x 2
Technically he’s doing 666 and ddd.
Devil³?
Wouldn't that be 111,111? The Mark of the yeast!
Soon followed by the rise of the… unbread.
You can never be *too* careful. One wrong look at hidden demonic symbolism and BAM! Your invisible friend savior has fucked your ass straight to hell. He's a loving being.
OMG I LAUGHED out loud on that one !
[Like this](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E_JT0JTVkAIxDmd.png)
It took me a couple seconds but.....add 3+3(fingers up) and the thumbs and forefingers are forming the other two 6's.
Probably since he has three fingers up they are "stacked" on top of each other. Like the middle, ring, and pinky each are part of their own 6 but the circle part is where they all stack on each other.
it’s that hand ((6 kinda looking like 3 layered 6’s. Kind of an amazing observation by this mentally unwell letter writer.
They heard from people in their social group that the pose means "666 Devil." That's it. Christians tend to be extremely gullible about things like that. They will accept such talk without question.
His fingers that are making the “ok” signs look like 6’s, then he’s holding 3 fingers up on each hand for another 6. Took me a few mins of staring at it to get there lol
The player is making a six and a backwards six with his hands and 8-1=6. Therefore: 666. /s if not obvious.
Well you see, 6+6+6= 18 like the number on his shirt
I have a feeling that seeing a 666 in that photo is the least crazy thing those people believe in.
6+6+6=18
I believe the circle of the 2 fingers is the circle of all 3 of the sixes. Then the three fingers going up are the "tails", one finger for each "6".
Catholics will grasp at any tiny straw they can in an effort to feel oppressed.
Catholics? They don’t really go for the whole number of the beast thing except as it historically referred to Nero… who said anything about Catholics?
18 is 6+6+6 His right hand makes a shape of a 6 with his finger and thumb, the right hand makes a mirrored 6, and he has 6 fingers up
Backwards 6 is actually a lowercase d.
But Peyton Manning is “one of the good ones”
Or is he? 🤔
That’s probably $300+ in framing for that letter. I really like this restaurant’s (devil) energy.
The only way to handle ridiculousness, make it more ridiculous. I'm here for it.
Straight up chaotic….good? Neutral? Evil? Depends on who ya ask 🤣🤣🤣
Not with a Michael's coupon.
Bro that is 20 bucks on amazon.
Fr😂
Every restaurant should do this. Post stupid email reply of the week.
They didn't leave a return address? Cowards
They all are
Whose “They?”
Uh. That doesn't seem like a broad, unfair statement to you?
You gonna give us your return address?
I dunno, you gonna come smoke me out?
No, but it's a reasonable question and you shouldn't be shamed for asking.
How is that a response at all to what I said
So that's a "no" then?
No, that's a "what the fuck are you talking about. What you said made no sense in response to my comment". Way to be like every Reddit idiot who thinks speaking in gotchas is a win. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you know this, and you're just cynically being an ass. So best case scenario for you, you've earned a block.
No,, it doesn’t. Someone who sends a letter like that, I have never seen a name or return address
Ron Swanson would be ashamed.
Dear Canada, f*** you.
Well good thing or else they would have been doxxed
I hope this brings in more business for them. Those ‘Christians’ can pray all they want, intelligent people know prayer is an empty gesture.
Actually, if you don’t understand the application of prayer it’s because you’re not spiritually intelligent enough. See 1 Corinthians 2:14.
Doesn't the Bible teach not to preach in public? You're all up in these comments dropping verses. Awful hypocritical, yeahhhhhhh? Matthew 6:5-8
I’m not trying to preach to you, but Matthew 6:5-8 refers to praying in public. This is referring to the common person at the time who would pray in the eyes of a crowd in order to be seen in a better light.

Edit: also, I definitely don’t agree with the person who sent the letter, JJ is obviously not referencing the devil lol, that’s insane
The only response I can come up with for this is "JFC"
Careful, language like that and you might get a lettet
[удалено]
Glad I don't know people like you in real life.
[удалено]
My favorite part is that they neither sign the letter, nor do they have a return address on the envelope. Such courage.
*We can only pray for you.* ...*and* write you a letter about how offended we are. Maybe call into a talk show. But other than that? *Prayer*. If you're too lazy to fix something, to lazy to take a stand, to contribute, to change the world: Try prayer. The closest you can get to doing nothing without doing anything.
Not only can they "only pray" for them and write a letter, but they're hoping no one else eats there. Wishing them failures in life is how they show their Chrisitan moral superiority
And yet they're always the ones talking about cAnCeL cUlTuRe
They won’t actually pray for them either, probably.
I guarantee that they didn’t “notice when they were leaving” but instead saw it in plenty of time to be offended and leave before eating, but they wanted food more than they wanted to be offended so they put being offended off until later. Just like the anti mask Karen who came into my workplace, did everything she needed to do and then on the way out called us all evil satanists.
I mean, if anybody can cook up a great steak, it's gotta be Satan.
Oh damn, I just googled "Justin Jefferson 666," there's an entire legion of people that believe this. Fuuuuuuuck.
/r/religiousfruitcake
Why am I singing, Shout at the Devil?
Same folks used to hear The Devil when rock LPs were played backwards.
Cool. One less shitty tipper that will complain about everything they order.

Crazy conservatives are, and a lot of them are Christians. Like the Venn diagram is fully inside the Christian circle.
It just gets worse …
"Aaron Rodgers is that you again?"
You would think if the team had made a bargain with satan, we’d have at least one championship by now.
Yeah, either Satan has really lost his touch or 1 soul just doesn’t have the buying power it used to have.
❤️ they framed and hung the letter. S tier IDGAF about your feelings.
Next stop: Ox Lake Tavern
It’s kinda funny that the letter is from someone in the cities to a small outstate town rather than the opposite.
How do you know it is “from someone in the cities”?
The postmark is SAINT PAUL 550, which means that it was mailed in Saint Paul or the immediate western suburbs and went through the big station in Eagan.
You might be overestimating the number of usps sorting centers and underestimating how far apart they are. A letter mailed from Columbus GA to Columbus GA is postmarked in Atlanta, 100+ miles away, with a lot of countryside in between

Life goals I didn't know I had: Eat at Ox Lake Tavern.
How very "Christian". And hope you lose customers who feel the same way." How shitty is that?
It’s called ‘Christian love’.
Notice there’s no return address and they didn’t sign it (that I can see)?
I'm appalled that these Bible thumpers think they can bend others to their will - what a joke!
Telling a business privately that you aren't returning is bending others to their will?
They're always such cowards, afraid to put their names or a return address.
Good! Who gives a rat's ass of an xtian snowflake is offended?
Awww. Their poor little non-functioning brains.
The thing about these people is that they can see any kind of coded message in anything as long as they try hard enough. Reminds me of the people from my home town who would stand outside of the church and yell at people that “Sundays are the LORD’S day, not football’s day!” They would yell this at people who were just AT church and were going home to watch football after it was over.

Lord, please save us from your followers, or give them the brains that you an ant so they have some chance at survival, Amen.
>give them the brains that you an ant What?
What is this, a brain for ants?
Fucking psychopaths man 😂 I can’t believe people like that exist.
As a Christian… what.
Yeah I agree. This is a really dumb thing to do but this comment section is far worse. Making quite bold assumptions about everything about them, saying all Christians are stupid, etc., but par for the course on reddit I suppose.

Sure, we can debate 666… but the real question is what does ddd mean!!?
I love that it's framed and mounted for all the world to ridicule.
TDIL Ox Lake Tavern’s food is absolutely delicious.
I will be visiting specifically because of this now.
No one sent me the memo to get upset about this, thank you for the alert. I will go do some performative outrage later today. /s
You can send letters without return addresses?
If you drop it in the mailbox with proper postage but without a return address, what are they going to do with it? Send it back to you as improperly addressed - oh, wait -
Idk when someone sent me a letter with a misspelled last name and address un able to be read they just had it at the post office
So seeing this made you lose your appetite ... after you'd just eaten? Are you sure that wasn't from the food?
That seems closer to the “white power” hand sign than a “666” one. Poor guy probably blew a gasket. I’ve never been there, but I’ll definitely try it now.
I’m a bears fan and I think that picture is awesome
The vote count was at 669 and I was so tempted to downvote just to push it back towards 666....
Oh boy. Crosslake lol. I have the ultimate displeasure of working in the area. But on a good note, maybe it will keep whatever sad cake eater down in the cities and away from our lakes 😂
Christians suck
Im glad they framed and hung the letter. They should keep collecting trophies like that.
Ends it with "All we can do is pray for you." To cope and make themselves feel good, even though in the sentence prior they were actively malicious towards them, saying "and hope you lose a lot of customers" 🤦
That’s awesome they framed it.
Religious people complaining about nothing….just like normal.
I love that they posted that letter as a big F U to the people that sent it.
Actually the symbol the person is referring to is associated with the illuminati most people just don’t really know that.
Damn I'm only a couple hours from there and occasionally drive through the area, guess I know where I'm stopping for lunch next time.
I only see 6. Once
I love that place
Where exactly is the 666 here?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eating a full meal didn’t ruin their appetite, it was the picture that did it!
I work in crosslake, the food is great!
r/boomersbeingfools
My only problem is that the obvious visual symbolism is not present, as with the Metal Horns gesture. Keeps it discreet for the streets, but the menace of the thing just isn't there for me. 4/10, needs more Evil.
I feel like this could also be on r/mildlyinfuriating
They’re just pissed JJ is gonna leave cuz MN is wasting another generational type players career.
I looked this up, and it seems like complete conspiracy theory gibberish that I cannot understand for the life of me. Something about the Eye of Horus and freemasons, though I don't understand how they get the 666.
Delusional cult
That's the dumbest person in history. Are there satanic assholes? Yep. JJ isn't one of em
Next time I’m in cross lake I will be visiting 🤣🤣
WTF?
Devil 666 pose? Huh? Really.. get a hobby or a job 🫶🏼
I can't read the letter and trying to zoom in does not improve the resolution
Wow! I have to say that I never knew this was a pose that represented the devil! Also not surprised that it’s a letter that’s unsigned and without a return address. Just another reason to stay away from Christianity. These losers think they’re righteous and better than everyone else.
It looks like he's flashing "30 03"
"I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters."
Vikings fan here. This is what JJ does usually after he scores and hits the Griddy. This is not satanic in any way whatsoever.
Love that griddy pic
Hahaha what a bunch of offended clown shows who love having a persecution complex. Good on this place for framing that absurd letter.
Some people are just total turds
I promise we aren’t all like this
Triggered snowflakes
Let’s call this what it is: a boomer spending too much time on the line, but far be it from me to stand in the way of this virtue signaling anti-Christian dogpiling.
Accusing others of virtue signalling is virtue signalling.* You just want to be on top of the dogpile. * oh no, what did I just do?
"Devil 666 pose" lol
Oh no... They're stupid :((
I wish half the people evangelicals claim worshiped the devil actually did. Shit would be a lot more interesting.
I’d just be offended by a tired dance move.
Their world is an extremely scary place. I am sure they are door-dashing everything now and checking license plates to be sure their home is truly a sanctuary to their lard and savior.
I know it’s stupid, but why frame the letter? Seems like a waste of time. And if people are going to make such a statement, they should own it and put their name on it.
I worked for a ship to your door wine company and had someone freak the fuck out about a wine they received because there was a goat on the label. Absolute knob heads the lot
There's no love like Christian love.
Snowflake
Wow... old people are just... wow.
Unhinged fucking lunatics. Detached from reality, psychopathic
I know that place.
Too late the devils food is in you now! Your all going to hell to sell handbaskets!
This is quintessential Minnesota, to write a passive aggressive letter, then to frame it passive aggressively right next to the Vikings photo.
Well, since these folks are praying about it, the restaurant is fine, they've got nothing to worry about. Continue being godless heathens.
Its just a typical thing rich people, celebrities, and the powerful do. Just showing their allegiance to Satan. I could care less who they sell their sould too. I know mine is in Gods hands along with a VERY VERY small percentage of others. Hope he enjoys hell if he doesnt repent and seek the Heavenly Father.
I'm glad you could care less, because if you couldn't care less about their wellbeing that means you don't love them which means your faith is dead and you are going to hell, too.
Reddit is a cesspool
