Easy.
I don't believe that the world would ends on Friday.
Could be something different.

I really don't believe in a "spiritual change" of sorts. If there will be, why that particular day? It's just a random day in our calendar. Except for that it is another winter solstice.

"Spiritual change"=General embarrassment felt by some.

The end of the world in the Bible happens on Friday.- ak - wrote:Easy.

Also generally it is a bad, unlucky day in the Christian culture - the Flood and Jesus' death both happened on Friday.

Good point XD (winter solstice)I really don't believe in a "spiritual change" of sorts. If there will be, why that particular day? It's just a random day in our calendar. Except for that it is another winter solstice.
But it reminds me how this Mayan Calendar differs from ours because (as I remember reading somewhere) the shift between the Julian and Gregorian Calendar.
And we don't even understand what the purpose was of the Mayan calendar "ending" on that day anyway, it could've meant anything, and we automatically assume "apocalypse?" Why?

Because most (modern) western cultures perceive time as a linear phenomenon: it has a beginning and an end. I blame christianity for the doomsday/apocalypse talk.And we don't even understand what the purpose was of the Mayan calendar "ending" on that day anyway, it could've meant anything, and we automatically assume "apocalypse?" Why?
For some other cultures time is cyclic, never-ending. Everything just starts over again.

-Winter Solstice (For us in the Southern Hemisphere)random day in our calendar
-Day that the Sun will be in alignment with the galactic plane

Boingo, Vortex pointed that out, lol.
I would go with the cyclical culture It's strange how people put their beliefs into things they know little or nothing about.
