    You know this whole Mayan thing has made me think to myself that maybe ancient religions might actually be a bit full of crap.

        @tomcoates How can you say that? All ancient religions are 100% accurate and relevant!

        @tomcoates Just remember the first rule of comedy: say yes to everything. Provides as many laughs when applied to religion too.

        @tomcoates you didn't expect the end of the world at the end of the second CE millennium, surely? Not religion, just misunderstood counting.

        @tomcoates No more than modern ones that worship money and self. Perhaps a good bit less. At least the gods did not worship man.

        @tomcoates it wasn't the Maya who were responsible for this silliness, but new-age bollocks and our own curiosity reflected by the media.

        @tomcoates Calendar is not a religion. Look at your wall calendar - it ends on December 31. Must be the end of the world, sure.

        @tomcoates the world's ended already in Aotearoa - the Mayans got it right - and took account of international time zones too...
