Does anyone believe this 2012 Aztec thing?

No, The first thing is people shouldn’t be scared of the approaching date of 12/21/2012. Often Doomsday prophecies are very scary, but the Mayan calendar only stops on that day. The Mayan’s never predicted that this would be the end-of-the-world, but the beginning of a new age! Many more predictions about specific dates of the end of times, have been made in the past which have never come true. The predictions of end times appear to increase in certain time periods. After the crucifixion of Jesus Christ the apostles started predicting that the end was near way back then. During world wars 1&2, the Korean war, and Vietnam war, there were also many predictions of the end times. The media and television programs about 12/21/2012 are only trying to cash in on all of the hype and make a quick profit with 12/21/2012 fast approaching. It is true that mankind is obviously on the edge of another great change, with the recent economic crisis looming, global climate changes occurring, the speed of Internet communication ever increasing. Religious and moral differences world-wide are causing conflicting belief systems about the planets future. The doom and gloom prophecies about December 12, 2012; may or may not have any basis in fact or reality at all! The undeniable fact is that: The Mayans, Egyptians, Nostradamus, have all have predicted that a galactic alignment shall occur on 12/21/2012, modern astronomers have confirmed this as fact. The Book of Revelation in the Bible also predicts that the end-of-the-world will come, in fact the world-religions: Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism have all predicted that Doomsday will occur. Many people believed that the year 2000 was suppose to be the end and nothing happened. Will 12/21/2012 be a similar situation with a lot of hype and then nothing? Most likely nothing will happen?? Why are people making even more of a fuss this time around? 12/21/2012 is probably not going to be Armageddon like the media and Internet Blogs would have you believe. It’s very interesting though, why all the fuss? Eventually another global catastrophe is bound to occur, but will it by chance be on 12/21/2012? I really don’t think any major global catastrophe will happen around that same time frame, but we’ll just have to wait and see. There is no bonafide proof that anyone has ever been able to accurately predict the future! The Mayans really believed that 12/21/2012 would actually be more of a transition phase, pointing to a new period in time. Eventually mankind will have to change and continue to adapt naturally to the world climate. Remember change usually starts at the family level, after that the government, and after that the world. The Mayan’s were a very superstitious race and they almost certainly would have believed back then that the world would eventually come to an end no later than 12/21/2012. They could be way off base on their prediction, we really don’t know for certain? It could even be sooner or it may be later?
