I think the Dec 2012 will be a pivotal point. So much has be circling around that date. I am anxious to see how the world will react when the date comes and goes, which it will. The Mayan's descendants have even said so.

I think there will be a lot of religious people grasping for explanations when this rolls around. I just wonder how many will panic, sell all their belongings, and leave their families this time.

I'm just glad i'm a lot smarter now. About five years ago, my idiot dad told me about 2012, and I cried all week. I figured out a lot of the bs months later, but that was the worst week ever.

I still seriously hate my idiot father for putting me through that.

I hope there will be a gatherinf party, so reasonable people can laugh as once again, religious zombies give away their earthly posessions. They should give them to me.

That is horrible. I, as a father, would never tell my children things to scare them. It is a tactic that has been handed down through religion for centuries, and I will not entertain the idea.

As for the theists giving all their worldly possessions away, I think that is a bit contradictory. If they give it to someone who will be raptured (sounds a lot like a violation :D  )  then there is no point. If they give it to a member of the damned, then they won't have time to enjoy it, what with the torture and all.

It never fails to amaze me, the faith that theists exhibit. They prepare for these events, and when nothing happens, they just shake it off. Makes me think of a child, watching the sky, waiting for Santa to show up. They stay up all night and don't see a thing and say, "Oh well, maybe next year".

I think as people in this modern world get more informed about the world we live in, religious people are questioning their faith more and more. As I said, I feel that these failed doomsday predictions are going to rock the religious world, especially Christianity, to it's core. It will be an exciting time, that's for sure.

Then again, I could be wrong. Good old Mr. Camping will probably just come out and say he miscalculated...again...and his followers will buy into it.  ::)
