Marley wasn’t the only person in [that thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=15432297#post15432297) that told him it was silly/stupid/needless. Here’s a sample response:

> In _Matthew 24:3_, Jesus’(74) disciples asked him, _“What will be the sign of your return and of the closing of the age?”_ Some Bible versions wrongly use _“end of the world”_ (KJV) or _“end of time”_. It’s very important to correct some people’s wrong impression that on December 21, 2012 we will see the “end of the world” or “end of time”. **What we, in-fact, will see on 12/21/12 is the end of the _Age of Pisces_ and the beginning of the _Age of Aquarius_.** And yes, the Christ - GOD’s ‘chosen one’ - will have returned and produced the _“book/scroll”_ with the _“7 seals”_ on the cover prophesied in _The Revelation 5:1-10:10._ 🆒

> A word, please? The different sized fonts and the various colors aren’t really helping you here. Conversing with others on the message board is not the same as standing on a street corner holding a large cardboard sign. Nobody here is attracted by or impressed by how a post looks-they are impressed by what a post _says_.

btw, his fonts were getting larger! In direct proportion to the wackiness of his posts.

ETA: I missed the post where he said:
