    The Mayans didn't really say the world would *end* in 2012, and it really wouldn't matter if they had.

    As for the astronomical oddities that are said to occur on the day the Mayans didn't say the world would end, well, it would be weird to have a day where something odd *didn't* happen, it's just that this day in particular is significant.

    On the other hand, I hear this argument all the time, but the fact that the world didn't end in 2000 isn't really proof that it won't end in 2012. But that's a separate issue.

    Is it just me or have there been a fair few 'end of the world' scares in the last decade or so? None of them came to pass.

    I believe that the 2012 scare is exactly that.. a scare. Just to give us all something new to worry about. If the world was going to end in 2012, I don't think it would be made so public. It would probably all be very hush-hush, and kept from us.

    On the other hand, it's sort of comforting in a very weird way that if it did happen, we'd all die together.

    I know you're a Christian,, but I'll try to reason with ya anyway...

    Nothing's gonna happen in 2012. It's all hype. Listen to some of the REAAAL scientists talk, not those fear-mongering assholes scaring the public into buying their book type of "scientists".

    Type in 't darnell' on youtube. Watch his 2012 vid. He's a very smart, and LOGICAL dewd. Chill.

    Apparently this has happened before, the planets align like every 86,000 years or something? Nothing destructive or permanent is supposed to happen.

    Relax, I'm sure we will not die.

    Death is nothing to fear anyway, not matter how bad your death is, you can only die once. I personally would feel privileged to be one of the last remaining humans on this planet. I would know I was there at the very end of mankind's existence, there's no greater honour than that.

    There's always a time people think the world will end - in the recent past: 1984, 2000, 2001. The Mayans didn't say the world would end; they simply didn't continue their calendar. It's like if we were to write an almanac for the next century but we didn't do one for the century after that because we figure whoever's around then can do it. The Mayan large block of time (for want of a better phrase) us just huge (700 years of something? I don't remember) so it may appear to people who don't know better that they were predicting all time and time just runs out, but it's far more likely that the Mayan priests just assumed that whoever was around at the end of the period could write the calendar for the next go 'round. Something significant probably WILL happen, because the Mayan calendar as accurate as heck and the last day in the Big Chunk Of Time is bound to be associated with something, but it's probably closer to an orbit bump (like someone mentioned above) than all heck breaking loose.

    okay okay..im cured! I dont care anymore. lol. Thanks to the comments that were helpful and enlightening. Not so much to the attacking methods of my faith.
    Just learned that the Mayans predicted the planets to align and it will knock us off our orbit (interesting), this was confirmed by scientists of the U.S.
    *Needs to point out that I am a science genius in college and already own a "good" science textbooks. Thanks for the advice but none needed.
    But thanks again and there is no longer an issue, if it happens than it is what it is. :)

    If we all die we were ment to die. There's no use worrying about something that will a) never happen or b) something we have no control over.

  • Idk if it will happen but if it does it would kill you quickly
    Would that be so bad? Think about it
    When you die the only problems you have are Hell or purgatory
    The second one might nt be so bad but if you don't believ in God you go to Hell (not trying to make anyone mad)

    So what if the Mayan calendar runs out! There are no mayans. If there were mayans, they could buy another one. They couldn't have known much, they gone. Why would they need a 2010 calendar.

      extincted? there are close to 2 millions onf native mayas from Chiapas to Guatemala. how smart was their civilization is something further your comprehesion. I ain't Maya but I'm tlahuika (Nahuatl) a brother culture.
      look the Mayan calendar as well as the calendar we tlahuikas use too, does ends up but doesn't mean it's the end of the earth. every single Mayan calendar was programed to start up and end everytime the earth passes from the bright side to the dark side around the center of the universe. just like it does around the sun. it does the same to the center of the universe this old calendar was describing the pass of the time throuhgt the dark side of the planet rotatio around the center of the univers, now in 2012 it's passing to th bright side, from the year to 2012 to 2018 there were occur plenty of things in the earth with the only porpouse to purify our planet. the only destruction that might occur can only come from humans not for the cosmos.
      Don't feel offend but it's all about your American moviemarket that needs to keep selling you something. I'm a native from mexico and I speak the two most spoken languages after Spanish in Mexico, Nahuatl and Maya and I know much better than a movieproducer what my calendar says.
      greetings.

    Ignoring some of the disrespect on christianity by calling it fantasy..im in total awe over the response from *MOURNINGSUN*
    I also learned that in the Bible it says that No man will know the date the world will end. So that was some what easing for me. I think Ive just come to accept my fear and deal with it in whatever way you can when the time comes. Until then go full on ahead with my faith and accept my great gifts from God and be Thankful. My prayers are with the ones who dont believe and may God watch over you and impact your life in many unexpected ways. Thank you for your comments and God bless you all. :)

    Yes it's very normal. Alot of people have fear of the end of the world and it's normal. and it's normal because it's true. the world is coming to it's end and lucifer shall rise to destroy all that has been created under false pretenses. Christianity and many other religions are coming to their close as the Age Of Fire will be our new order of life and death.

    Since you're a christian, you're already prone to fantasy. I think that's the root of your fear. Quit asking what you should believe in and just look at the world around you. Oh, and buy a good science textbook.

    It's all bullshit and it's bad for you. Quit reading the bible and try to think as a sensible human being. It's no wonder you have this unwarranted fear. You probably embraced Christianity out of fear of hell.

    Actually im not an Obama suppoter. Far from to say the least. And that really doesn't have anything to do with My Fear of 2012. And who goes around callig people Morons nowadays? What are you 10? If you read the above messages you would know Im converting to Catholisim. And if you knew anything at all Catholics Do Not support Obama. So who's the "Moron" now?
    To everyone else Who is on the website to Help instead act a fool...I think Im over it now. So thank you for your advice and support! =)

    cool! so you guys have been helpful! thank you. i guess there isn't any sense in worrying about it, if it happens, it happens nothing you can do about it. doesn't mean it isnt going to keep crossing my mind (alot) but i should probably find an outlet to get y mind off of it. im getting on youtube now to check it out. and your right the earth, sun, and moon do align and were still in the clear. Those people on tv really do know how to freak some people out. Thank you guys very much. =)

      Who knows why the Mayan calender stops like that and what was meant by it. Who knows what Terence Mckenna was on about. We'll find out soon enough.

      It would be funny if when 2012 comes around there is a huge apocalypse thingy though, seeing how we're talking about it this way - "watch this on youtube and chill" "it'll come and pass, no biggie, just like all the other predictions, yawn"

      In my opinion, there are things much closer to home to be scared about. Yeah, we should be scared - of ourselves. We'll eat ourselves alive if things don't change now.

      So, don't worry about the 2012 predictions. End days or not, we'll STILL all die sooner or later. Take out that loan - or don't. It's all up to you like it always was and always will be. Enjoy life while you have it :)

        • Why randomly attack someone's comment? (re: PoisonFlowers)

          I've noticed that you seem to do that a lot on all of your posts; name call and not offer anything constructive.

          What's your deal?
          Maybe you have some childhood issues you'd like to ask the rest of us adults about?

    • Oh, I suppose you couldn't really start asking those sort of questions if you're trying to become accepted among them.

      I wish I could help you with some spiritual advice, but I'm Atheist, so no can do. However, my opinion on the matter is; that nothing catastrophic is going to happen. The planets will line up and nothing will happen - just like the Earth, moon, and sun occasionally do. No biggy.

  • I think your fear is common because there are movies and television shows about 2012 - they wouldn't make them if there wasn't interest.

    MTNW is correct, you should get some advice from your pastor/priest.

    I have the same fear too. I don't want to die now, I'm too young and I want to enjoy my youth... But people always said that the world would end in 2000 and that doesn't happen.
