Mayan Doomsday PtII

I Googled "Mayan 2012" and this came up.

 It's early, let's see if I can get this one. I'm sure that I have posted on the destruction of the world that will happen in 2012, ya know, the Mayan Calendar thingy...but I can't find any. Oh well, that was so last year doomsday fear, there's a new one in town now and it's called...the Mayan Calendar Doomsday. Go figure.

 Archaeologists have discovered a second prophetic brick that dates back some 1,300 years which vaguely describes what is being interpreted as the end of the world ("He will come from the sky."). Named the Comalcalco Brick it is inscribed with what some believe to be a reference to 2012 (some people). The first doomsday brick, the Tortuguero Brick, has a description of the Mayan god Bolon Yokte-the god of war and creation. So was' up, it's gonna happen right. Right.

 "The Institute of Anthropology and History has long said rumors of the world ending or world changing event in late December 2012 are a Westernized misinterpretation of Mayan calendars (SF Gate)." Yes, leave it up to extremist American Christians to ruin something that was probably cool. The word from brown folk that I have consulted is that the Mayans believe that the world will change, not end, in 2012. What they believe is that there will be a "spiritual' change that happens. I guess it would be like moving astrological constellations, like moving from Sagittarius to Aquarius. Right?

But that will not stop the Left Behind crowd from promoting their fear based membership drive. Repent, repent, before it's too late. Afterall, you don't want to be left behind...do you. On Thursday the IoAaH again stated "western messianic thought has twisted the cosmovision of ancient civilization like the Maya." And I will ad..."Again (that's my two cents)."

My super good Internet homie and fellow atheist blogger, @troythulu, mentioned the other day all the doomsday's that we have survived so far in our lifetimes. Hell, just this year we survived two of them, right (Thanks Harold Camping). My guess is that we will survive this one also. the law of large numbers will not catch up on us, this time.

What I don't understand about the whole this is....why don't they just start the calendar over when the cycle ends, like the Gregorian calendar. Go figure.

Bolon...it's all your fault. Asshole.
