I doubt that. Most of the wars Dubbed as "Holy Wars" in the past were a mere grab for land rather then an actual spiritual war. So while Christianity was used as an excuse to fight them and as a way to get people to fight in them, they were not actually a christian war.

Is any war really reugular? In one form or another Religion has been used as an excuse to fight in or start pretty much any war.
Put my vote down for complete collapse of time and space itself. I like the idea of being compressed into a single atom.

So how will WE write it? How shall it read when we look back on December 21, 2012? We certainly have the elements in place to destroy ourselves. The planet has experienced cataclysmic events in its history - polar shifts, ice ages, etc. No one really knows. What the Mayan's meant with their End-Count calendar will always be up for speculation. It fires the imagination, for sure. SOooo let's write it like we want it.

I find the argument "it's the end of the calendar, therefore it's the end of the world" as useless as saying the world is going to end when the clocks roll over from 23:59 to 00:00 at the end of each day.
All calendar systems have some kind of modulo arithmetic in them. The planet is in orbit, what the hell do you expect. Learn some maths and get over it already.
But put the end date a couple of hundred years in the future and sprinkle in some mysticism (or other brain-rot) and all of a sudden people are running round like the proverbial headless chicken (aka "mike")
