Yes, the 2012 apocalypse threats spoke of on this site are correctly assessed as unrealistic hoaxes all. I agree. Problem is, gads of people out there, especially Mormons but also billions of others, believe in the return of 'Christ' around this time. If you want to debunk fallacy then start with the fallacy of naming, making images of and generally accepting belief in holy-than-thou demigods. The Ten Commandments are crystal clear on the subject; so clear in fact that the issue is prioritized atop the list as commandment number ONE: "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me". Yet over these past thousands of years it has become utterly commonplace to violate that "Prime Directive".
That's why, even though the common apocalyptic doomsday predictions are hoaxes, mankind can never ever shake its deeply institutionalized departure from meek acceptance of the basic Terms of Living. Everybody is afraid of mortality and wants Eternal Life. Ha! what fools! The price of that want is essentially damnation. Or as the sages have stated, "Desire is the root of all suffering". So yes, there will be a Final Judgment, as time and circumstances finally catch up to humanity and God will reclaim what is rightly His. Hey! ..God is all around; salvation was all around; if you get a cut on your skin it magically heals by itself. Going out of one's way to make an image to a holy demigod is insane and dangerous and I'm afraid, truthfully, when the cold light of dawn arrives, God and Nature will find that we have strayed WAY TOO FAR off track, and our species will be obsoleted, undone by its own hand. So yes, I'm so dearly sorry to young ones, but doom does lie ahead.
Institutionalized belief in a hierarchy of divining spirits is at the heart of man's conundrum. I mentioned the veneration of holy demigods but it goes a lot deeper than you think. Belief in the magical discerning powers of psychologists is equally abominable. They are the soulless ones who have taken without question as gospel whatever institutionalized 'profiles' were fed them in college, handed down successively by generation after generation of corrupt/prejudiced self-appointed diviners that were only the landed gentry, the rich and privileged. They sat in judgment because they could (as a dog "licks its genitals because it can", I'm sure you've heard). That line of psych assessors is by now so corrupt as to be hopelessly lost. For example, back when slavery was legal, if a slave desired to instead be a free man, that was deemed a form of mental illness. Science might be fine but rigors are needed in every single scientific/medical pursuit; the lack of which reduces all to worthless babble. Yes, 2012 spells the End. It's been ordained since the Foundation of the World that simple time and circumstances would catch humankind up in an inexorable Gordian knot. The ancients knew how to prophecy alright!
