Here's the whole post:

"(Ed K.) Whoever decided that people who practiced human sacrifice a few thousand years ago could be trusted to decide the fate of the modern world based on their calendar? 2012 is gonna friggin' RAWK and that's that. This "end of the world stuff " is getting old. Which world? "this one?" If you're reading and understanding this, then we are NOT in the world where the ancient Aztecs cut out live baby hearts and chucked them down into a water slide or whatever they did. they did that shit cuz they were crazy and their calendar was friggin' crazy. sorry for my colloquial use of the language...but happy f%^*^ing new year!! 2012!!!! And God Bless! 2012 stands for 2012 years AFTER Christ, 2012 years of evolution in love and intelligence (with more than a few semi-catastrophic missteps) but here we are! Praise the Lord. sing. ek"

Errrr, wasn't it the Mayans who predicted this end of world stuff?

First - Ed states Aztecs but is referring the the Mayan Calendar (but yes the Aztecs also did practice sacrifice so I guess he gets partial credit on his history test shrug.gif )

Second - the fact that an ancient civilization was able to create a calendar with multiple layers and cycles (they had short, medium and long cycles) that projected out until the year 2012 with such accuracy is amazing, not crazy

Third - the end of the Mayan calendar is the end of their longest projected cycle. It does not mark the end of the world - that is misinterpretation used to cause hysteria. They simply had not yet calculated the next cycle which would have encompassed thousands of years

Finally - in my book Ed has progressed from dabbling with religion, to exploring it, to preaching, now to just being plain crazy, creepy and weird. If I ran into him on the street, didn't know who he was, and heard some of the religious stuff he's said lately I'd think he was straight out of a mental institution.
