The world ended at the turn of the millenium but we were all too drunk to notice.

there is one destined for the 25th about a comet shard hitting or something like that.
This is true enough. Maybe the post needs a bump so nobody gets caught out

well mines 12.12.2012. something about some old civilizations(maya? inca?) calendar ending on that date and something about the planets beeing alligned..
That's just the end of an age, not the end of the planet.
No one really figured out what the end of the Mayan calender was supposed to represent. But you could assume that they thought it would be significant enough to plot it down 3000 years ago. They thought that everything would change.
IIRC they figured the whole thing out from sun cycles instead of planetary formation, pretty clever chaps the Maya all in all.
Probably thought they'd still be around as well.
There, i just contributed nothing to your thread |

My post here (in yet another *OMG We're All Going To Die!!!!" thread) pretty much sums my feelings up.
To quote:
Originally by: Raven Aure
Assuming we live in a fairly mathematically based world, there's no basis that this is an "apocalypse" time.
In fact, the entire calendar is completely abritrary anyway. It has both changed through history and isn't the only calendar used today.
Basically humans love attatching siginificance to events born from sheer probability. Just think about how when you're out and about and you meet someone - often people say "it's a small world". But do you ever say "it's a large world" when you go out and don't meet someone you know?

In all honesty, I always believed there are extraterestrials and other inteligent beings "out there", but having read some of the links posted in this form makes me sad.
So sad, I am almost tempted to go to that other thread currently on the first page and let them pray for my suicide. It's just hard to accept that I live in a world with so many idiots who, after believing in various gods, now want to create a new "religion" (or belief, if you like that word better).
If inteligent life exists, I hope they come take me away from you people! (shouting in the direction of the other web sites).

Other life within the universe is an unaccepted statistical probability. At least that's my view.
Just a point - "religion" and "belief" are two very very different things and should never be confused.

At this very moment I fail to see the difference. Unless we're talking "I believe the sky is blue, although I don't see it right now, but things were looking great 30 minutes ago"?

Religion:
# noun: a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny
# noun: institution to express belief in a divine power
Belief:
# noun: any cognitive content held as true
# noun: a vague idea in which some confidence is placed
