Always consider the source, the source this time being a civilization whose king believed that by cutting his penis and being bled out he could have visions with the gods, a civilization that believed murdering children helped bring about good crops, and a civilization that believed in executing the losing team in sporting events.

i dont think anythings gonna happen....


however there is some strange stuff going on that seems to be spoken of in the book of revelations the violence in the middle east,it speaks of the stench of death on everyones hands and bodies strewn in the streets....syria...it speaks of new babylon and its fall, which leads to a one world currency and one world government...us dollar...then it speaks of a massive migration to the holy land...check that out...all the jews are going "home".... ill think somethings going up if the most outrageous of the signs shows its face.....in revelations it says a million men will march on israel to persecute the jews and the ground will open up and they'll be destroyed,then from the aftermath theantichrist will come to power...supposed to be extremelu intelligent,charismatic,and will unify the people...and seem like great guy...like a savior...and then he'll want to be treated as a diety...many will fall for his tricks and take his mark (who knows what this means)

in another part of the bible (also the quaran) it is said the incarnation of the great one as a man would return in 2000 years.....



i am a theist, however i dont identify with any one religion...just observations ive made... i know u can basically apply those things to other times in history...napolean,hitler,etc....


so ueah..ill think its all over when the arab countries march on isreal....which really isnt so far fetched all it would take was us not backing them...at the least it would cause some nukes to fly...isreal doesnt care about anyone but themselves...they've said it time and time again

When was there not violence there? The UN is not a world government and did not come from the fall of Babylon.

Only ignorant people think the worlds end at 2012....look into too it and you will find that stupidity is alive and very well in the human race.

Watched NatGeo yesterday...some doomdays-preppers.
The moron thought the continents would shift if the magnetic poles reversed.
That is stupidity in action.
The magnetic poles have shifted many times before.
NEVER have that caused continents to shift places before in history.

People like him should you go out in the desert and die...without bothering everyone else.

Google the Mayan kalender...it dosn't stop with this "circle", there are more larger "circles".
The Mayans even talk about event that will unfold past year 4100...purely ignornace.

I don't believe in the end just because the calendar ends. They had to stop at some point. The calendar is a rather logical sequence of numbers and has a structure to it and it's quite easy to just continue making it go further. I'm sure they intended for civilization in the future to just continue it when it gets there.

The Mayan calender dosn't stop anymore than our calander "stops" at the 31st of January...let the ignornace die, thx.

So what's the issue this year? I thought the world already ended a couple of times.

And thus far, none of the end-of-world crowd wants to give me their money.

I promise to keep it safe for you during the apocalypse, and to keep it or spend it after the apocalypse date passes without incident.

A more successful way to profit off of their credulity would be to buy up their mortgages, cars and other property at deep discounts:

"I'll give you $10,000 right now to own your house in January, to spend on prostitutes and narcotics! In a month the world will end, so why will you need it then?"

Then there might be various legal proceedings and so forth, as they'd surely try to sue.
And I also have to front the cash for that stuff.


Just getting cash from them wouldn't leave as much of a paper trail.
Maybe I could help them liquidate some of their assets though. :hmm:
