purim torah in jest - My current reputation is 666. Am I over on Machashefah Lo tichayah?



I just noticed that my reputation is standing at 666. Does this number have the same demonic connotations in Judaism that it does in Christianity? And if so, am I potentially violating issurim regarding shedim, nichush, and kishuf?


UPDATE: I am no longer at 666 reputation, but the question still stands: should I or other posters in the future actively remove the reputation of 666 by engaging in downvotes? Is failing to do so when noticing the number considered a passive acceptance? Is it like walking by an uncovered pit that I co-own with Stack Exchange? Are there other numbers to actively avoid, like 344 - SHMaD?


Properly sourced answers only, please.
