it is not over. It is believed this can still be working out to even 2016...It is not over


This is a period that will take years to transition....Events and changes in the world are yet to come...

Consider climate change, changes in governments.

Who knows there may be an American Civil war.

but the Mayans don't. It doesn't work that way (meaning their belief system). Time, to indigenous peoples in the Americas, is not linear like it is to westerners; it is cyclical. Whatever has an "ending" has a beginning.

Besides, there's a calendar that projects 7000 years into the future.

THEN we'll have a perfect palindrome for the full date. Just missed it by 100 years. Global warming will probably make this prediction accurate then too.

Jesus came back, looked at all the Evangelical Churches, looked everywhere he could. Then he just shook his head, said "F*ck it", and left.

when you ask the remaining peoples about the prophecies their religion supposedly made and they say "WTF are you talking about?", then it's probably not going to happen.
