The Buzz
"Purgatorio is sheer genius. I'm seriously considering giving it a place in my "Stellar" category."
Pyromaniac
"Stellar"
Pyromaniacs
"With tens of thousands of new blogs beginning every day, it is rare that one comes along that is very different from the rest.
Purgatorio is different. Very different. Short on text but long on photo essays, this site is a
fascinating glimpse into the trends and fads within Evangelicalism (and occasionally beyond)"
Challies Dot Com
"Purgatorio - Marc Heinrich's blog is only a few months old and today he got more hits than I did.
His "you might be emerging if . . . post" that i mentioned last week is already legendary. Challies made him
King For a Week, and I am making him Skinny for a Week... Anyway . . . congrats Marc on your excellent blog.
Love all the images! Now go and overtake Mark D. Roberts. And after him, set your sites on HughHewitt.com"
Tall Skinny Kiwi
"Marc. We usually read your post daily for some great laughs."
FIDE-O
"If you've never visited Purgatorio, it's time. The guy's got a sense of humor that won't stop.
Jesus Creed Scot McKnight
"I just added Purgatorio to my blogroll, for good reason. Marc Heinrich is a witty Christian Hedonist
(from Minnesota, surprisingly) who blogs entirely through the medium of pictures.
More importantly, he also likes Radiohead. Go check it out - it's not the usual fare in biblio-blogging
and it's worth your time. Express enough interest, and maybe he'll invite you to stay at his house."
Soylent Green
"Marc,You are an instigator, aren't you? That is one reason why PURGATORIO is great!"
Rose's Reasonings
"Usually pot-shot takers aren't ecumenical enough for my taste (or funny enough),
but this site is exceptionally funny and not so mean spirited."
A List of List's
"There are very few Christian bloggers that are consistently able to write funny posts.
Marc Heinrich is not one of them. He is able to be consistently funny while writing almost nothing.
And that is why his blog is one of my favorites."
Christian Survey
"I'm chocking over here - I will just come right out and say it.
What???? I visited and that blob/site is garbage. My soul within me is burning.
Are you guys serious?????? ...c'mon, what is this blog. I'm disgusted.
Redeemed
"My favorite place for funny or weird photos that say more about people than words can."
Off the Main Road
"One of the truly unique efforts in the Christian blogosphere"
Sharper Iron
"Be perjoritive if you like. I beleive you will see that my readers
will discern which of us is a 'kook'. I'm not the fundie here... Your comments prove my point, Big Time."
Reformed Catholic Pentacostal
"I really should Rule 40 this blog, but these kinds of posts can't be found elsewhere"
The Boar's Head Tavern - iMonk
"I'd like to point out that marc is somewhat delusional from searching the internet for images that
he thinks are related. It's kinda like the episode of Voyager where Seven links her alcove into the ship's sensor
logs and becomes hyper-paranoid about the intentions of the crew and ultimately pits Janeway against Chakotay even
though both conspiracy theories cannot be true."

I’m about to go Post Millenial
Plea by Jimmy Li — June 6, 2006 @ 1:52 am
Yep…post Millenial…and Historic Preterist!
NERO, folks…NERO!!
What’s with the tripy bald dude and the blond chick?
Plea by Dave — June 6, 2006 @ 2:17 am
What, so the Hebrew for “w” being the sixth letter of their alphabet is supposed to mean that www (World Wide Web) is a tool of the devil (www = 666)?
Like Satan uses the Hebrew alphabet as code.
Showing how the internet is used for evil is far easier than getting hyped up with a conspiracy theory.

I don’t know about you, but I had a wonderful day today.

OK, I clicked on Debbie Harry and that Australian guy that sang “Beds are Burning.”

Do you hear me?

Now, I’m off to my Y2K bunker for some malt liquor and a nap. Please wake me when the Beast-child has done his thang.

Did anyone see this?
I wonder… Were people just as concerned about the date 6-6-6 the last 20 times it rolled around?

Now I want to here Degarmo and Key: “Six, six, six!” I can here the cheesy keyboards now!

Ok, a pop quiz after reading the USA Today article…
Who knew that Satanists were closet preterists?
Plea by Mike — June 6, 2006 @ 10:39 am
I see the number of pleas today are lower than usual. Is there a connection?
Plea by Lee Shelton — June 6, 2006 @ 11:57 am
Lee,
Have we been…. Left Behind?
Plea by Marc — June 6, 2006 @ 12:17 pm
Being a-mil I am immune to the the dispy-preil hysteria.
Besides today is my wife’s birthday and she’s a regenerate believer…
Plea by Mike Ratliff — June 6, 2006 @ 12:24 pm
Note,
In Psalm 119, the sixth verse of the section under the sixth Hebrew letter (”Waw”, or “Vav”) has 66 letters! (Only in the ESV; if you read from another translation, never mind; just go about your business).
Just doing my part to spread alarmist panic.
Plea by psimpson — June 6, 2006 @ 1:02 pm
I know this is not supposed to be taken seriously — but the bar code thing really bugs me. The spaces are parts of the codes!
The start, middle, and stop codes are not 6’s. (In fact, the start and stop codes are different — the spacing between the bars is different.) The number 6 is either skinny bar-skinny space-skinny bar-really fat space (on the right hand side as shown above) or else skinny space-skinny bar-skinny space-really fat bar (on the left-hand side of the code).
[I’ll get off my soap box now. In a prior job, I was assigned to improving our inventory control processes to include bar codes. I got strange stares from some fellow Christians who couldn’t understand why I would be involved with the devil’s technology.]
***sigh***
Plea by David Nations — June 6, 2006 @ 1:29 pm
Marc,
If so, then I had better start reelvaluating my eschatological views.
Plea by Lee Shelton — June 6, 2006 @ 1:56 pm
Marc,
I have a question, do you and your pastor John Piper believe in the rapture, tribulation etc.?
Plea by Jim — June 6, 2006 @ 2:12 pm
I find myself truly astonished that I received an e-mail from a local Christian organization getting all dizzy about the need to pray today as it was part of ‘war in the heavenlies’.
Please do pray for my country. We appear to have some very, very silly people living here.
Plea by Libbie — June 6, 2006 @ 2:15 pm
I think everyone should get a hold of Right Behind and Supergeddon and read and pass them out today, if possible.
Plea by MarieP — June 6, 2006 @ 2:29 pm
I don’t trust Purgatorio’s biased links. It’s just a cover-up to distract us from an obvious truth.
Isn’t 666 the MARC of the beast?
Don’t be fooled, people. I’m wearing my aluminum-foil deflector beanie just to be safe today.
Plea by SavedByPiercing — June 6, 2006 @ 3:07 pm
Jim,

On June 6, 1966, The comic strip “Nancy” made a comment. Nancy said, ” I owe somebody six cents”.

I think Piper is a Historic PreMillenialist (see link above)

The one thing that would scare me today is a glimpse of the fear inspiring Marcy of the Beast.

I clicked on the picture of the lead singer from Midnight Oil. Interesting info.

I attempted to say Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia really fast, 10 times in a row. I can only say it 6 times before stumbling over my words. I sounded like a yodeling Cherokee.
Plea by Brent — June 6, 2006 @ 9:00 pm
Does anyone remember that one Beatles song, that, if played backwards, says, “number 9…number 9…number 9″ (really)? Well, it was actually meant to be played backwards AND upside down, which becomes…yes, you guessed it. When someone confronted John Lennon about this, he said that his daughter was drawing a picture of single digit numbers one day. Since number 9 is the highest single digit number, and it kept falling over, she decided to call her picture “upside down number 9.” He also said that if you really wanted to find a hidden message in a song, then listen to the Yardbirds song “Over Under Sideways Down.” That is, if you can figure out the right way to play it.
Except for the parts that I made up, this is a true story.
Plea by Keith — June 6, 2006 @ 9:47 pm
Every plea here is a testamony of the insanity of Dispen-sensationalism. But it sure sells a lot of books!
Plea by Art — June 7, 2006 @ 11:55 am
at first I thought Piper was dispensationalist…I almost swallowed my tongue.
I can deal with historic premille or Amille…I have been both (actually I have been dspy too!)…but for Piper to hurt me by being dispensational…well, it was more sorrow than I could have borne.
I am glad that he is not a dispensationalist.
