Default Apocalypse 12/21/2012

So as some may know, the Mayan calendar, which has been eerily accurate over the years, ends on December 21, 2012. Many believe that this will be the "apocalypse" and the world as we know it will end. There are ALOT of people, mainly cults and sects tho, that are preparing for the end of the world. So what do you think? Will our world come to and end or do you think the mayans just got tired of carving their calander into rock and decided an "apocalypse" would be a good excuse to stop?

Well, we've been told that there will be an end of time, and there's nothing we will be able to do about it. It's been told in scriptures, and many other sources.

What we don't know for sure, is when.

Only the almighty knows exactly when that will happen. Many people have made predictions and all have been wrong so far. In my opinion, since we can't do anything about it anyway, why worry about it? There's lots of other things to worry about. Why add the end of the world to your worries?

Hi `Matt, & Member's reading this post:
[:-]
WoW, another reason to `party now
My grandfather always stated/told me
"No one is promised a 2morrow, and we must make
the most of our `Now ~> the present"
I always try & do my best to Master my Time/Life, and tomake
the most of each day that I am given.
My SpaceBrain is not capable of understanding
so much about `life, but I do know that it ends, and I don't
know when, so I just keep doing my best everyday that I'm given.
I do prepare for my future, but I alway remember what
my g/p & mentors have taught me, and that
was to EnJoy my Now, and my `journeyof `life.
"Don't worry about things we have no control over, and
get back to enjoying your life" `amen

The only reason the Mayan Calender ends at 2012 is because the Spaniards invaded at that time and took over...LOL j/k.

Actually I think they ended it because the earth lines up with the center of the galaxy in some special wayfor the first time ever and its supposed to throw off the energy fields or something. Just like nuclear warheads were supposed to launch all over the world on 1/1/2000, lol. I would trust the mayans more than our political scientists of today, but thats not saying much.
