My calendar ends every year. Does that mean the world ends every year as well?
Ok.. I just looked at a pic of the thing and MY translation says this....
The internet will cease to exist in 2012. No more UO, no more forums, no more porn sites.. Yup... I guess maybe it WILL be the end of everything we know.  |
Your right, it's merely the end of their calendar. Many believe that it would merely be the end of the age, not the end of the world.
The King James version of the bible also fucks up too many translations. It throws in the end of the world in a few of those translations which is the reason many bible thumpers believe the end is coming soon - when the correct translation is the "end of the age".
