Care For A Little Doomsday?

[Vampyro]

I just found this article from HH.... According to the Mayan calendar... on Dec 22, 2012...

...the world will end!!

here's the link..

I remember reading about that.

Wouldn't it really suck to die a day before that and not get to see doomsday!

[AstralCrux]

Wow, Onyx, that's deep. Yeah, with my natural curiosity I'd be ticked if I missed doomsday.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

I've been looking forward to that date since I saw Chariots of the Gods years ago.. I think I was around 10 or 11 when I sw it. Very good movie/documentary if you ever get a chance to see it.

[maeve]

Has anyone ever read the book "The Mayan Prophecies" ? That's where I was first made aware of this date. It's really a good read, very entertaining, but I certainly couldn't vowge for its accuracy. It's kind of wicked though to think about, it's the day before my birthday. What a present huh? I suggest reading the book, if nothing else it may very well give you a good fright.

[Vampyro]

It just seems to me, the way the Mayan's saw things, they figured out that the earth's magnetic waves are influenced by sun spots, and on that date, the magnet field will shift suddenly... that means we're all going to be in a nuclear fryer or... an ice age... either way, it'll just simply suck ass

[Homicidalheathen]

kapoof I say. WE shall all go boom.

I think its funny. All cultures seem to have their 'doomsday' prediciton dates down to a time and everything....

Um, did anyone notice.....the new millinium came and we are still here.......

Ok this is funny though. I know this coven who has planned to go to Ireland on the day......dunno why......maybe they want to have an orgy on stonehenge......and they are all buying plane tickets and everything...I think its kinda funny.

[Onyx]

Heh - good point about the millenium. All that y2K computer mess business never happened either.

I've never really worried about any of it.

Any of us could die at any time. No point in wasting a minute of my time worrying about it.

if it's a mayan doomsday prophecy, wouldn't they prefer to go to some ancient mayan temple and perform a blood sacrifice or something?

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

It's not actually a prophecy. The Mayans had the nost accurate calander ever created. They are the only "ancient" culture that new about that whole extra 1/4 day thingy. Thier calander ends on that date. They have phophecys up to that date.. but nothing beyond it.

Something to keep in mind... almost every native central and south american culture... they all just vanish after a while. What happened to the Toltecs? *POOF* Same with most others... Whole cultures... with millions of people in some... just vanished.

Now.. there are some other really really wild ideas out there... according to some.. there is another planet out there... in a really long far out orbit around the sun... once every set time period.. though I cant remember it right now.. this planet comes near Earth. There are those that believe an advanced civilitation live there and they come here... They built the Sphynx (The Egyptions sure didn't), showed the Egyptions how to build their wonders.. the Central American tribes learned to fly and build great stone works... Some even claim they have advanced evolution for humans....

It's just a date...

An arbitary moment in time...

And just like all the other moments in time...

Everything will change, except the stuff that stays the same.

[BrassFusion]

So you're saying, on that date, all the Mexicans will disappear and go back to the home planet?

We'll miss you, Steven. =(

[Vampyro]

Broadening things up, almost every religeon prophesizes (god i hope i spelled that right!) a "dooms day" in their own way. And most belived is comming anytime. Yes 2000 was thought to be it but.... that coulda been when it just simply started....

...i mean think about it.... who got into office eh? Good Ol' Bushy Jr. I've had my doubts to him being smart enough to fufill my greatest fear but....

...after all the bullshit was unfolded as to exactly he's been doing...

..yes, now i'm afraid, really afraid, really...

....I'm afraid that bush is the fucking anti christ.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Bush is not the Anti-Christ. Do a bit of research... the Anti-Christ will be universally loved... right up until that moment when people realize they are being walked into ovens.

Research, hah... just because it's been written down doesn't mean it's accurate.

And if the Anti-Christ is supposed to be UNIVERSALLY loved, why are all those fundies always saying "So-And-So is the Anti-Christ, We Hate So-And-So?" That's just a paradox.

Actually, I find most "fundamentalist" Christians don't even know the bible. A lot have never even read it. I have to restrain myself from getting into long, fruitless debates with them. Not worth it really since most have no clue what they even believe.

I find end-of-days prophecies fascinating.

The meaning of Antichrist is not "against Christ", but "he who stands in the place of Christ", as in an opponent trying to take his place.

Oh dear. Politics and religion - these types of discussions never end. I'm probably going to regret this.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

You seem to have missed my vieled referance. Hitler, is thought by some, to have been an Anti-Christ. He fit the mold prefectly. He was loved by his people. People followed him. No matter how crazy and far out his ideas were... Charisma, strong charactor... they hide the evil that lurks inside. Then one day people opened thier eyes. Saw the evil they had wrought.

We look back at him know with hindsigt. We seem to gloss over just how wildly popular Hitler was with the German people.

babble babble...

This has nothing to do with the point.... ignore the man behind the curtain.

[Scales]

*POOF* Same with most others... Whole cultures... with millions of people in some... just vanished.

A team of highly trained specialists and prestriged historians have already come to the conclusion of 'Monsters'. Over time these creatures evolved into politicians.

No not really, being in a pollitically correct nation now, retards are no longer the jesters of politics, no, they're the polititians themselves now, either that or monkeys, depends on if your rep or a dem. But then again... they have monkeys travel in outter space...

...so that's why it's so effin tough finding a job, monkeys can just simply do it all ok?!? You're job aint shit, a monkey can do it... But you know what...

...there could be many ways the earth might possibly end suddenly...

..solar flares flip magnetic poles, ultimately turning our planet into chaos..

..meteors and astroids could pelt us into oblivion

..we'll finally nuke ourselves to death

..or we'll just keep killing and killing until the last man standing commits suicide because there's no more people to kill

Or it could be years from now, when the sun eventually goes into a super nova...

...true the world's chances of ending on or close to that date, in my opinion are slim to none but...

...hey we know sooner or later...

...it will end.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

1. Our Magnetic Poles flip every 30-40 thousand years. Much like Global Warming and Cooling.. it's part of the natural cycle.

2. Doubltful, there is a far greater chance that One really big astroid will wipe us out.

3. Maybe, but still doubtful

4. Far too many pussys for this to happen

5. The Sun will never Super Nova. It doesn't have enough mass. Our sun will swell into a Red giant and vaporize everything out to the Astroid belt then shrink down to a white dwarf.

6. The chances for the world ending on that date are just as great as they are for any other date. 50/50... Everyday is the last day if you really think about it. All it takes is a minor misstep and your falling into the full bathtub while holding the hair dryer... You world ends shortly after the fall ends... Life is. Enjoy it while it lasts.

[BrassFusion]

The chances for the world ending on that date are just as great as they are for any other date. 50/50...

Not even! Just because there are two potential outcomes (world ending vs. world not ending) doesn't make the probability even.

In order to come anywhere close to a reasonable determination of the odds (for gambling purposes), we need to base those odds on certain factors. Things that would make one day a little more dangerous than the last. Threats, if you will.

Then we can implement a system to globally announce the odds at any given time.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Odds are the world wont end any time soon. That does not change the fact that at any given moment there is only a 50/50 chance that another moment is going to happen.

Your logic is incredibly flawed, unless you're being sarcastic, in which case it's still flawed but I guess it's a little funny.

And wtf happened to my image... that was classic...

ah, this simple statement by Onyx is very, very, very good......... and this is why the biblical text states that "allready there have been many anti-christs".... and why the first "thall shalt not" commandment is that of idolotry, or false worhip.

and your right about many Xtians not knowing their bibles, I concede this sadly.

because I am a beleiver in the Biblical text and accept it's descriptions of God and all....I never pay any real attention to beleif systems that attemt to give actual dates and times. Not only did YHWH say that only the Father would know that time, but in all honesty if we knew it or could calculate it then we'd all be even more fake than we are today as we'd get all nice and spiritual about ten minutes before zero hour.

which fundies Love?

"all of them"? which all of them?

is "all of those" measurable in percentages, like say...30%, 90%, 50%???? whats your take on it?

cool theory but I think the Nephilim did all of that stuff you mentioned above. And their home base was here, south of heaven.
