• Mayan Calender

  I don’t understand why so many people are getting all bent out of shape over the Mayan Calender ending.  It disturbs me that so many people are superstitious these days.  I have always considered superstition to be the religion of fools.  So many people are scared stupid, or stupidly scared, over this that the government has released a blog to try to make these idiots calm down.  

  
  

  Did it ever occur to anyone that the Mayans probably didn’t add more to their calender because their civilization died?  I should think that would be obvious.  To me this is like asking, “Why didn’t the Sumerians write more laws?”  Because their civilization died you unmitigated knucklehead.  Also, before anyone ascribes prophetic properties to any particular individual or people group then you must propose a mechanism for how they are able to know the future.  I believe in Biblical prophecy, and the mechanism I tend to go with is that God told these people what to write down, and God exists outside of time which is why he can know exactly what is going to happen in the future.  So to all these people who are getting bent out of shape, do you believe in the Mayan gods?  If so then there is nothing anyone can say to stop you from panicking, but your beliefs are about to be challenged when the world doesn’t end in the next few weeks.  If your answer is no, then my next question is why are you getting all bent out of shape over this?

  
  

  The U.S. government wrote a helpful blog post on Monday titled, “Scary Rumors About the World Ending in 2012 Are Just Rumors.”

  The post on USA.gov says NASA scientists have received thousands of letters from people convinced that the world will end on Dec. 21, based on a misunderstanding of the ancient Mayan calendar that’s been promulgated in doomsday message boards online. Some people think a giant comet will strike Earth that day, others that we are about to collide with another planet. A NASA scientist said he’s received several letters from young people contemplating suicide because they believe the apocalypse is coming.

  “The world will not end on December 21, 2012, or any day in 2012,” the post says.

  NASA released a video earlier this year explaining that the Mayan calendar does not actually predict the end of the world on Dec. 21, and that the myth that the planet “Nibiru” is heading toward Earth is easily disproved because astronomers have detected no such planet. America is not alone in trying to placate nervous doomsayers. The Russian government has made similar assurances to its people that the end of the world is not nigh, and authorities in France are planning to block access to a southern mountain which believers think could serve as a mystical place of refuge on Dec. 21.

  Some doomsday groups are capitalizing on the fear by spreading the Dec. 21 myth online. A Belgian amateur astronomer named Patrick Geryl has set up an online community for people who follow him and believe the world will end in three weeks. He tells followers to stockpile 15 to 20 pairs of shoes and to be in good physical shape. Geryl declined an interview request, saying over email, “No time for interviews. … Want to enjoy last weeks of our civilization.”

  To me it’s incredible that the government is promising that the world isn’t going to end.  I definitely believe that people have been growing progressively less intelligent over the course of the century, and this just further substantiates my suspicions.  

  It’s incredible that people would contemplate suicide over something as stupid and irrelevant as this, or write to the government that they are contemplating suicide (must be liberals).  I think part of the problem is that they don’t know who their real daddy is, so they go crying to big daddy government for emotional comfort.  

  But to be fair, after Obama won I wanted to die for about a week or so.  Of course I obviously didn’t kill myself, and part of the reason for that is because suicide is irreversible.  If you kill yourself and end up in Hell then you are stuck for all eternity.  That, and it’s better to just watch and see what happens then react like that.  

  But if anything is going to end this world anytime soon, then it’s going to be that Kenyan Muslim Obama.  He has a lot more world ending potential than anyone’s calender running out.  Oh no, the calender I have hanging in my office is about to run out.  Maybe that’s the end of everything.  But I digress. my point is that we have already suffered a cataclysm, it’s called Obama, and we are just going to have to bear down and deal with it.
