It matters in the sense that Mayans got crushed about 800 years before Cortez. It's nice to at least be historically accurate.

Flavor txt: The Mayan Calender ends on that date, yes, but.... it's because they believe the earth will be reborn. So not exactly the end of the world...

The Current Cycle of the Mayan Long count ends on December 21, 2012, that has little to do with the Mayan idea of the end of the world, it would be similar to saying that the world will end on December 31 of any year because that's when the current cycle of our calender ends.

I like what Sadness said, it doesn't matter when it will happen so long as we are ready.

From what I've heard, it's more akin to 1999 turning into 2000, not so much Dec. 31 to Jan. 1.

But there's a bazillion theories out there.  I doubt anything will happen.  We'd be better off waiting until 2061, at least then we get a good show if we're wrong.

The band "Hyland" did that for April Fools to one of their band members. Pretty funny.
Gabe could most def troll some people though. He's already an icon in biblical art...

We've got billboards all over town talking about it, and the guy promoting it is dead serious.  It will either be judgment day, or "rapture day", according to this person's calculations.

Anyway, this sure seems to go against everything the bible says about it coming as "a thief in the night" and that no one knows the day nor the hour.  I'm curious how this person and his disciples rationalize their certainty with those passages.

Here is my Answer:

- If you can point out one scripture in the bible that judgement day is 5/21/11 then, ok. But I am pretty sure that there is no specific date that that will happen. In fact, we are told that he will come like a Theif inthe Night, at an hour NO ONE knows.

Well... the other fault is that man created the calendar after the Bible was written... Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't put it past God to pre-calculate the numbers, but come on, the calendar/timeline we use today didn't even exist back then.  Humans naturally see what they want to see, and we also naturally see patterns.  You can look at a completely randomly spotted ceiling tile and make out some sort of pattern if you looked at it long enough.

Larger excerpt from a newspaper article on the subject:
Quote from: Pastor John Steer
"Theologians have a technical term for such a person. We call them loonies. The New Testament is less charitable and calls them false prophets. The return of Christ is a precious doctrine to Christians and this nonsense trivializes it. We can say with some certainty that May 21 is a day that Christ will not return, as He tells us He will come when no one is expecting him. I confess that I did consider asking Camping to speak at Autumn Ridge on May 22. Christians can be confident that Jesus will return on his timetable, not on Mr. Camping's.

Uh-oh. Either I got left behind or it didn't happen.  ;)
I heard that he was now changing to October 31 for the new "rapture" date. Funny because he predicted the world was going to end 17 years ago too.
