Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted May 13, 2011 Who determines who the good people are? I know a lot of people masquarading as "Good People" and they are some of the scumiest sleazballs going. I guess God gets the final vote on that. So let me see if I got this right. Many people will perish in mass disasters on May 21st, and those of us who don't are doomed to eternal damnation? Sounds to me like a no-win scenario. On the other hand, it could be a good excuse to stock up on more ammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vjf915 456 Posted May 13, 2011 I can see this potentially getting out of hand with those who take it seriously. So John Smith seriously believes that he will be going to heaven on May 21st. He's going to be driving around carelessly, not even worried about others on the road because he believes he is going to die anyway......oh wait, people already drive like that in NJ.

djg0770 481 Posted May 14, 2011 I intend to be surrounded by friends and family having a good old time at one of the nicest places in NJ. If it's time for Jesus to come, I will tell him that I did what he told me to, love my neighbor and Him. As per Revelation, it's not 440,000 - it's 144,000 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recon Racoon 49 Posted May 14, 2011 Theres a huge bill board down the road from me on Rt-130/Shell Road near Dupont Chambers Works. I see it every time I go to Pennsville. I laugh at it. I don't laugh because I deny a higher power, I laugh because they're all smoking crack. Theres a chapter and verse in the bible that says Man will not be able to divine the end of days. Only Jesus will know. And well look at it this way, when he shows up its gonna be a little late to say I told you so. So on May 22nd I'm going to call the radio station and laugh. Then I'm going to quote that verse and laugh some more. Then I'm going to hang up because thats how I roll. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Fox 5 Posted May 15, 2011 The Mayan calender says it will happen on Dec.21st 2012. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted May 15, 2011 The Mayan calender says it will happen on Dec.21st 2012. All it really says is that the Maya stopped trying to write down a calendar past that date. Perhaps because their up to their a** in Spaniards, or because they discovered coca leaves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bulpup 98 Posted May 15, 2011 I sure hope they have this wrong. I am losing as much weight as I can so I can fit into my class A's for the dedication of a street in honor of one of our guys that got killed in Iraq. I'd really hate to miss that on acount of some dipSh!t forcing an apocalypse for personal gain. That would suck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbk 188 Posted May 16, 2011 The Olmec Long Count calendar doesn't "end" (in the same meaning as western-based religions). Instead it has cyclic phases, similar to the idea of Yugas in Hindu cosmology. It was the addition of Native American cosmology/mythology and then the Western influence that have painted the end of the Long Count calendar to predict "the end." Quite unfortunate IMO.

Yup, much like the whole astrology thing, your zodiac sign has nothing to do with the date you were born. I dunno where they came up with this between this day and this day you zodiac sign is X, but it had to do with the constellation alignments....people just got lazy trying to figure it out and decided it was easier just to set dates. people go there whole lives following the wrong zodiac, if it even makes a difference.

Malsua 1,422 Posted May 17, 2011 Anyone else wondering how this would play out if it were true? I don't for a second, believe it to be true, but I'm one of those people who's brain gets an idea and runs with it. World wide earthquake? Well, that is survivable. Even a 10 quake is survivable. The Earth undulates like a flapping piece of paper taped to a fan but with a little luck and some debris avoidance, you could indeed get past this stage. The next would probably be violent winds and such. Again, quite survivable. If you live on the side of a mountain, as I do, you might dodge the big winds. Pretty soon, we're looking at the ultimate Shtf scenario. I mean, what are the chances I'm one of the 144k or 440k or 1 million 400 thousand or whatever the number is. Unless it's Billions sucked up into the big rapture vortex in the sky, my chances are statistically equal to zero. After a while, the whole world we know will be dead in the shaking and winds and the rest will be dumfounded dipsheets. This means, if everything works out, I will be king of all I survey come May 22. I'm looking forward to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbk 188 Posted May 17, 2011 I do the same thing, Mark. I think its because I read so many books growing up, I like to embellish things in my head... To add to what you've fleshed out, what if said earthquakes somehow triggered something at one of the super volcanoes, notably Yellowstone? I'm not a geologist or vulcanologist, so, I have no clue if that is even physically possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
