Actually if the world would end tomorrow, I wouldn't be sad. I would just be going home. Think about that for a moment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayan_calendar

PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH

Quote:
Since neither the Haab nor the Tzolkin recorded year numbers, something else was needed for the recording of dates. There was also a Long Count which started at 13.0.0.0.0 on August 11, 3114 BC according to the "Goodman, Martinez-Hernandez, Thompson" correlation (nicknamed "GMT"), the most widely accepted correlation between the Maya and Gregorian calendar. The baktuns progress 13, 1, 2, ..., 12. Because of this progression, many start the Long Count at 0.0.0.0.0 rather than 13.0.0.0.0, even though the Maya glyph for their epoch literally means "the completion of 13 baktuns". This cycle is 1,872,000 days in length, terminating on the Winter Solstice of (December 21) 2012 and is designated 13.0.0.0.0, since the Maya believed that time is periodic. Another widely used correlation, that of Lounsbury, correlates the start-day to August 13, 3114 BC and the terminal date to December 23, 2012.
you're welcome

You know that the living prophet of Mormonism(probably the most powerful and most quickly spreading religion today) said that the world will end during our generation... you know the second coming, that bible stuff.

Ummm Mormonism isn't the most powerful or quickly spreading. Christianity has most powerful. Muslim has most quickly spreading. Only things a Morman's got is Poligamy.

and the word of Joseph Smith. Praise Mr. Smith.

The South Park episode that tells the tale of the Book of Mormon is PRICELESS. Too funny.

Uh.. Mormonism is a form of Christianity... You know.. people who believe Christ was the living embodiment of God and the savior of their eternal souls. Jam meant "denomination."

Poligamy allowed in Christianity!? Pssshh yeah right. Now I suppose you want me to believe that sexually harassing little alter boys is a way of life. ¬_¬ rofl

It's rare that Mormons practice poligamy anymore, so you're wrong.

Ask Laharl or FishFish.

The practice of Poligamy came into existance because the Mormon population was afraid they would fade out, out west, correct?

Not sure, I'd ask someone who is Mormon. I don't know much about the religion besides what they've told me, but I was reassured that they don't marry 7 wives. If I remember correctly, Laharl got kind of offended about it.

Well, I did ask my Mormon friend... But he's prone to lying. And gambling.

There's no poligamy in Mormonism... in fact, you are excommunicated if you do such a thing.

...and it's definately the most powerful, richest and most quickly spreading with more missionaries than any other religion.

10% of every member's income goes to the church plus more. Fast offerings too. The church has more raw money and money in temples than any other religion ever.

And that is why the rest of the world has locked up all the mormons in Utah.

PS - I hope you aren't using the data of the post-mortem conversions that the mormons are prone to using... interesting tactic to inflate ones numbers, wouldn't ya say?

When I talked to Casey about it once he said he had a huge problem with the idea of the trinity and believed in the separation (for lack of a better word) of God and Jesus.

To be honest, I never really thought about the idea of God and Jesus being one until I went to Mass with you.

So this guy predicted what so many popes to come were like, and because the list ends two popes after John Paul II, everyone thinks it's the doom of the religion.

People, there's an end to every list. Stop being sadistic and predicting doom every time we approach the end of them.

There's also a reason the Mayan calander ended...

Young Hitueck was working on the numbering system, in far off Maya land when all of a sudden, on the horizon, he spied white sails.

"Hey, guys! Come take a look at this!" He yelled in his native tounge.

"But, young Hitueck, you're supposed to be numbering. This calender will go on forever... Then, we can stop buying those stupid Far Side Calandars that we peel all of the comics off of on the first day."

The rest of the Mayans sighed. How much money had they shelled out on Far Side Calanders before they had learned their lesson? Too much.

"But," Young Hitueck countered, "There are white thingies floating towards us!"

"I do like white things..." The chief sighed.

"Especially one's that float!"

The began to climb down from wherever they were, and walked to the shore.

Several people began to get off what the Mayans now recognized were boats. They came bearing Far Side Calanders and other assorted goods that the Mayans desperatley needed.

Fifteen minutes later, the Mayans were all dead...

And that, young forum browsers, is why the Mayan calander ended when it did.
