... The world's ending, soo I get out of my car and point blindly to the sky... what intelligent beings we are 

[Mars]

I'm just surprised Scientology hasn't jumped onto this yet, everyone else with a religious agenda to push or a buck to make seems to be on the bandwagon.

You can't accuse them of being idiots, and they must know a bad world end prediction would make them look bad.

[S-99]

Well, who cares about 2012. Superstitious fecks.
The same people who step on a crack and don't care if they break their back (or black cats for that matter) care about 2012 why?

That trailer royally sucked. Just a bunch of people walking around and too many pieced together clips of that. Sounds like a seriously failed attempt by the christian media industry. Which sucks, because if it is then there's been way better christian movies out there anyway. And also if it is...y would christians care about the arbitrary year 2012? People thought the world was going to end at the turn of the century...pretty much every turn of the century, and even a millenia ago.

People need to quit fearing for their salvation in this way. It's a waste of time.

Plus if the world is going to end. Do you think any government is going to tell any populace this information? You'd be able to keep established order until the world goes kablooie if you don't tell anyone the world is going to end. And at least more and control if no one was told and people start to figure out why the sky is all funky in the last hours of their lives. Laff sentril

It gets on my wick all this end of the world lark! As always with these type of things, it's open to interpretation, such as the death card in tarot. The death card signifies new beginnings, not that someone is going to die. I think the mayan prophecy is something like that, merely the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT!.


"THE SKY IS FALLING IN!" PULLLEEASSEEE! 

[Angelus]

I read an article about that matter, and if i understood the entire thing correctly, the Mayan calender runs in cycles.
Each cycle is a couple of hundred ( or was it thousand...have to check again ) years long.

All that happens in 2012, is that the old Cycle ends and a new one begins.

I guess, to propagate the end of the world is a good way to make a quick buck.
You can sell a lot of useless crap ( among other things guides on how to survive the end of the world ).

But to be on the save side, i pirate copied a letter of indulgence... 
...'cause you never know...

[S-99]

Well, i hope the movie is just one big orgy. You have 3 hours to live i'd be inclined on either major sex or major destruction

People is starting to use 2012 to making cash. 

Fear = Cold hard Cash. 

[Kosh]

y would christians care about the arbitrary year 2012?

The same reason they cared about the year 2000, they often use scare tactics and doomsaying to increase their attendances.

[S-99]

The same reason why i eventually got my mother's psychological conditioning out of my head so i no longer feel super guilty for no reason when i go out with a non christian girl.

Scare tactics are bull****!

Speaking of 2012. My 2012 hlp usa spam thread where you could make bets with spam died today
Had it taken off that would have been an excessive amount of spam. And very funny when the victors get the pot of spoils.

How about new beginnings as in people finally open their eyes and stop killing people over passages in old books and such.  That'd be nice.

I rather doubt anything much is going to change.  Small things change allot....big things change slowly over time.  The world is reasonably big so I my philosophy on things is that the Earth isn't liable to wake up one day and go "alright, I'm out here...go live on the moon or something".  If anything the world is going to wake up one morning in 2012 and say "Well...another day at the office".

[Dilmah G]

Well IMO people have got to come and accept that while the morals in Religious Texts are helpful, Books such as the Bible were written in an age where there was no such thing as pornography or marijuana (God knows how nuke would've survived hehe jokin), and people got married between the ages of 12 and 20. In other words, there are some parts which have weak reference/practicality in today's world.

[Daniel P]

And people is starting to cash on this stupid END-world crap.

I bet you there be a major movie will come out talking about 2012.

You mean the movie called 2012? Because it's coming out.

[Daniel P]

Really. Man, people is using fear to make a buck.

I can't? Sez who???

[TrashMan]

Sounds like a seriously failed attempt by the christian media industry.

What does this movie have anything to do with christianity?
Seriously man, you're suffering from some weir from of religious paranoia - like those pople that see a government conspiracy everywhere, only you see Christianity having some evil plots everywhere.

[Kosh]

That movie might not be one of those cheesy end of the world christian movies (it is hard to tell from the trailer), but this one is a failed christian media attempt to cash in on the 2012 non-sense.
