As long as I don’t have to live under another 4 year obama regime, death is club med.

It won’t matter to Christians who expect Jesus to return every day. We are ready and fervently pray, “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!”

The mayans were such geniuses they couldn’t foresee their own demise. So of course their calendar end of the world is believable. Duh.
Morons.

We are ready and fervently pray, “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!”Let's be reasonable. Can't we at least wait until Star Trek X?

If you buy one of these, you will never die because it *never ends*.

Which brings me to one of my hobby horses:
We already agree that our calendar is wrong, off by anywhere from 2 to 16 years, depending on who’s doing the reckoning, and further in error because of the absence of a year zero.
The more fundamental point is that God did not intend us to mark His years by the birth of Jesus.
If He had intended this we would have a Biblical fixing of the date.
Further, the day of Jesus’ birth is unremarkable as all men are born.
However, very few return from the dead, that event is remarkable, and it is the defining moment of Christianity, the very moment of proof that his sacrifice was not in vain. And the Bible gives a precise reference for when this happened!
Clearly this was the date the calendar was supposed to start!
For extra points, this makes our calendar off by anywhere from 17 to 30 years. That makes this something like Holy Year 1988 to Holy Year 1975, giving us anywhere from 12 to 25 years to get our affairs in order before the real end of the millennium...

Can't we at least wait until Star Trek X? Why? Nemesis sucked! (And it was on the ridiculously named AMC tonight.)
I think you mean Star Trek XI ;-)

Yes, I agree. Their magic calendar didn’t foresee the fact that for practical matters, they would become extinct.
People who give these ghost stories any mind are silly.

"The mayans were such geniuses they couldn’t foresee their own demise."
But we are so smart today we still don't know what happen to them. That space guy that helped them may have known something.
