Mayan prediction failed..........................

it did not fail! it was never predicted in the first place.

The thread per se is not about the Mayan whatever, but about the general fever that the world was to end on the 21 of December 2012.

a teaspoon and and open mind!

Well, at least I the Biblical quotations for the antidote. What did the believers in the Mayan quotation had to offer speculations?

Ok got it so if the world ends it's going to be Israels fault... wait is that what you were trying to say?

Right. If the world ends, you can blame the Jews, who probably won't be in existence to be blamed for.

Mayans had a completely different mythology to that of Judaism and Christianity.

I would like you could share with me what you know about the "mythology" of Judaism. Wanna give it a try?

Every year we start our calendar again, this does not mean the world ends only the year.

Mankind will probably fall one day,  but sooner or much latter is anyone's guess.

Not as long as there is a Minyan of ten Jews in the world, according to the Biblical quotations in the thread.

The actions of Israel are rather for the preservation of the world. Jesus himself understood it so. (John 4:22)

How about the creation myth, and the flood myth from the Tanakh. I'm willing to bet it isn't Mayan, am I close?

That was rather non sequitur.

The Genesis account of Creation is not a myth but an allegory. What makes it a myth are people who are unable to understand metaphorical language. These are the members of the literal interpretation club. The same with the Flood. It could have been a local event that would have given to the people of the time the hyperpolical impression that the whole world was flooded. What did they know beyond the world of then? Besides, all different cultures had a flood to report about as part of their cultures. Obviously, the Israelites added one of their own. It could have been a different aspect of a "New Order" in Nature. If you are too busy into myths, how about the myth of the big bang? Carl Sagan refered to it as "our modern myth of the big bang." That's in "Cosmos" page 285.

Oh please, not again! Let the Mayan myth rest in peace. It won't happen. There are too many Jews on earth.

I don't think the whole 'God created everything in 7 days' part of the Genesis creation is accurately called allegory.  Allegory usually is a symbolic representation of something else;  CS Lewis's Narnia stories are by many considered allegories of Christianity for example.  It's difficult to see Genesis as an allegory also since for the vast majority of Christian history, and I believe Jewish history, this was held by almost all of those believers to be literal.  I'm not sure what the Genesis Creation account is purported to be an allegory for exactly either.

Don't worry about it, LG. Ben and coherent descriptions of written literature are strangers. Look at the baloney he fed Riyeh just a few posts up above,

We did a whole thread here a few months ago on Ben's phoney Sagan smear. That thread finally closed, after one poster and then another and then another ... tried to straighten Ben out about Sagan.

But, here it comes again. Hey, Ben has lots of forums to service, and only so much copypasta, so sometimes he needs to keep serving slop that's already been debunked. I guess it can't be helped.

Don't take it personally. He did the same thing the other day in a nearby thread with Silver Thong. There's a fictional quote from Anatole France Ben habitually passes off as a historical quote from Pontius Pilate. He'd been called out on that here, too.

Didn't matter. Doesn't matter. Ben's not here for conversation. It's just another stop on his route.
