Mayan Calendar/End of the world

Also, religion in a way justifies different motives and morals.

I never said their religion would justify their acts

Oh I see.

Is that sarcasm?
It doesn't justify their acts, simply explains their motives/morals. Perhaps a bit of miss wording.

If I own a major news source I'm going to report mass destruction to freak everyone out.

Thank you, I sometimes mis-word somethings. What counts is the thought

The Earth will someday cease to exist. Period.

Assuming mankind is still around, either terra-bound or interstellar-based, it doesn't matter what the event is or when it happens, every religious group will say "I told you so" with some very loosely interprated texts or teachings.

Meanwhile - those of us who are sane - will realize it's just an asteroid, galaxy collision, sun implosion, etc, that is bound to happen through chance or time.

Well for outcomes that are known, the Milky Way will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy in a couple of million years...

Who cares.

Seriously. I don't know if that's accurate but it's in a couple million years.

And there's nothing to be afraid of in death or the world ending. Everyone seems to think it matters.

I can't wait to die.

I'm personally ready for when I die. Others, though, not so much.

Who says we were afraid of death? I honestly could care less when I die, as long as I accomplished something important in life.
