And I got my name just out of fascination with the Mayan civilization. Their entire religion was based around the most complex calendar the world has ever known and it all ends on Dec. 21 2012. That's also when Terence Mckenna predicted that the historical endpoint would occur in his novelty theory. I also heard somewhere that some Tibetan Buddhists believe this day will usher in a new age of peace. I didn't know anything about planets aligning with god. Although I'll add that one to the list.
I am also a 2012/mayan calendar nut, I suggest you pick up Lawrence E. Josephs APOCALYPSE .He takes every angle that has been mentioned when it comes to 2012 and writes about it in a very comical way.

The author traveled to Guatemala to talk to the Shamans who hold the most sacred texts that werent destroyed by the Spanish raids.

According to contemporary Mayan belief, the ancestors of this world already have started to come back and are mixing in with the population. They are not interested in being recognized. By 2012 they will all have returned to fulfill the sacred mission of that momentous year.

The resurrection is being accomplished in the children being born today. everyone who was ever born and died in the past will have returned by 2012. The worlds population explosion is evidence of this mass reincarnation. There is always a reason a soul's incarnation cycle hits a dead end. For some souls the stumbling block may be love, for others courage.

Between now and 2012, we all will have an oppurtunity to face, and overcome, the challenges to our personal evolution. Those who pass their tests will move on to enjoy an enlightened new era. Those who fail will be stuck in this dimension for many thousands of years, at which presumably they will get another chance to take the test.

It doesnt sound any less crazy than Christianity to me
