end of the world 2012 not reality

And the Mayan calendar doesn't predict the end of the world. It just ends in 2012. There's no fear in Mayan communities of this doomsday claim.

Right before New Year's 2000, lots of New Agers showed up in Mayan towns, expecting the end of the world. They'd sold or given away all their possessions. And when the world didn't end, they had to come begging to dirt poor Mayan Indians for food and a place to stay until they could get hold of people back in the US or Europe who'd wire them a ticket.

I expect we'll see a repeat of that in 2012.
QFT. The Mayans never said a damn word about the world ending on December 21, 2012. True, their calendar does end around that date, but wanna know something scarier? Our calendar ends on December 31, 2009!!! Oh my god, how come nobody else is freaking out!?
 
I love the "the world will end on 21st December 2012"-theory, because it will be my 25th birthday. What a timing, huh?
Well, at least you'll not worry about terrible hangover...
Seriously, I don't care about those "end of days" talks, there's always some lunatics to yell those messages. I think they belong to same category who believe that Earth was "created" about 8700 years ago, what a bull...
The only danger lays when these "true-believers" wants to take the rest of us with them to their "paradise", and starts nuclear or biological holocaust, as someone mentioned.

Well yes, the history books are full of occasions where christians have thought "God's not doing it right" or "God's not doing it quick enough" and decided to help out. In the spirit of the age we live in though, muslim fundamentalists are trying to make it a multi-denomination affair. ;)
 
The truth is, the world really did end, in a way, back in 1945. The Germans turned on the AI, wich subsequently reversed the course of the war, despite the first use iof the atomic bombe humanity was defeated and enslaved by the AI in a construct known as The Matrix. :D
 
What about the Jehovah's Witness claim that the world would end in October, 1914? Since the timing was so close to the onset of WWI, didn't the sect eventually announce that the world had indeed ended, citing the end of the stable period that characterized the nineteenth century?

Because it should look more like;

Quick question. Why do you guys care how I punctuate? You act like it's life or death if I don't end my sentences with a punctuation mark. There happy?

I personally don't mind what you do, but it's good practice for when you have to earn your own money and try to impress some ass into giving you a job. Folk also tend not to mock you and leave comments about your punctuation and read your threads seriously. :)
 
In order to put the 'fear of god' into most religious peoples, threats of end time catastrophe, death and retribution seemed to be the most common vehicle. I recall reading that the early Christians were predicting end of the world during the Roman times. I suppose 'the fall of Rome' and 'the dark ages' after that, could fill the bill? It keeps them on their toes?

Are there any big traditional religions that don't have Armageddon scenarios?

And it gets to be such a meticulous task for us to try and understand it.

Anyway, I'm a Catholic, but I don't really buy into all these end-of-the-world issues. Well, I'm not even sure what their stance is on this. :rolleyes:

And wasn't the world supposed to end on June 6, 1999? or December 31, 1999? Well, in any case I'd agree with other users saying that this type of behaviour is very dangerous as the cases are here and here.
