Obviously I don't think it is mythology or I wouldn't believe it :-) Actually it is not my place to tell people what numbers they are and are not allowed to use. More than the number, the issue for me is the motivation of why that number was used. Why use one of the only three digit numbers that I know of that is associated with evil to at least one belief?
