So someone fill me in, what's supposed to happen if you have the number 666 on a piece of paper attached to your clothing? I get that it's the "sign of the beast" or whatever, but what's the actual significance of that number being written down or physically attached to you?

The person in question believes that if they allow that number to be attached to them it will represent their acceptance of something God has forbidden. In revelation it implies that in the last days the followers of "the beast" will have his number placed on them and that it will be a sign that they follow "the beast". So if she allows them to give her that number, then she is implicitly following Satan. So to be true to her religion she cannot have the number of the beast on her as it would represent that she is a follower of Satan.

Yeah, whatever. I would have taken the number and had some fun with it, like telling all the others not to get near me or I'd curse them. Still, the race organizers should have been more understanding. A huge number of people object to that number, just like many office buildings skip from floor #12 to #14. When I was heading up a software conversion project, we made the developers change their programming to block certain objectionable letter combinations when coming up with vendor id's (like FU, etc.). Still, I thought it was funny when I saw my new ID on an expense reimbursement (da ho).

I chuckle a little bit when I hear these kind of things. I know this^ sounds perfectly rational to many people, but I think it's straight up weird.

It is straight up weird. Makes no sense at all even just from a logical standpoint assuming the existence and nature of deity. Throw in the question of the existence if deity at all and it becomes positively ludicrous.
