Why are any Christians placing any stock in anything that the Mayan pagans (!) had to say?

Cha-ching! That's the sound of cash registers ringing. That date is only six weeks or so after the next Presidential election...does that mean Palin is going to be elected? That could be the end of life as we know it, all right.

It was never intended to signal a doomsday event. Only modern times would come up with a notion that idiotic.
Oh you killjoy!

2012: A New Beginning

Does this provide a happy, prophetically convenient dire announcement for wishful & teary-eyed End-Timers? Despite that it may well not coincide with Israel's collapse or a Middle East Armageddon or anything else that is supposedly an absolute minimum requirement for the last days.

There's a literal gold-mine of info readily available online (but NOT for free, mind you...)...

Survival Expert Rob Rellaw’s “Survival Resources for Tomorrow” #1 Survival Resource on the Net

Apparently you CAN easily survive this cataclysm through:

1) prayer

2) donations to your church

3) a good survival book, available at Amazon at good discounts!

4) getting to know Thy God, but do it soon... no late whiners accepted after Dec 19, 2012, midnight!

5) gold acquisition

6) prayer AND donations

But seriously, do any Christians here have well founded facts to support their belief that, finally, this, really, is, I'm telling yah, the real, actual, finally correct non-Nostradamus Prophesy of Prophesies?

('Cause, if it does come true just like the latest Hollywood movie, it will also be your last chance to be correct. After this one, we'll all just be toast! Apparently).

And if so, what should we do then, to "survive". (I really can't afford to purchase too much gold right now, much less give what I do have to my Church....


Help!)
It means nothing to me, God said that we would know the times.

BTW - the above is supposed to be a good-natured little rhetorical joke and does not express the true beliefs of the poster.

I'm sure there are some women out there who can do a lot better job in the oval office than what we've seen done in the past few years.

Man, I truly wish Sarah Palin can become President in 2013.

I wanna see the reaction of the liberal folks, with 20 popcorn bags
