That you think reality is so limited, fleeting, and meaningless is what frigthens me.

It's because it's fleeting that you
have to conjure up myths and
fairy tales to make it more than
it is. The reality can't be dealt
with, but self deluded myths
can be.. Life means whatever
you think it means, you make
up your own reality. You've
chosen the safest and securest
one. No original thinking involved.
In fact, it's frowned upon.

Watching the AT hiking videos and one
guy tells a story of a Xtion hostel on the
trail. They have dinner and before that,
they ask everybody to stand in a circle
and join hands for a prayer.

He's an atheist and politely asked to be
excused from the ritual, and a girl joined
him. When the owner asked why, and
he told them he wasn't a god person, some
in the group went nuts on him. Screaming
at him, saying he was going to hell. It
got so bad he had to go outside and a few
of them followed him out and kept up
the harassment.

He says now he should have just joined in
and played along, he never expected Xtions
to be so intolerant. Live and learn, buddy.
The most intolerant people on the planet.
How many other religions have burned people
at the stake for disagreeing with them.

Lots of people are intolerant and it isn't specific to religion, lack of belief, governments, or liberals. Intolerance ironically seems most present in those who claim to be tolerant.

Like Xtions. Look at your history,
it's intolerance carried out to the
n'th degree.

I disagree with your understanding of history, I think it is very flawed. However we can probably agree that today and the last century has all been about the bloodshed and violent intolerance of secularism and modernism.

You think it's all a lie, you're in
massive denial. What else is new.

No, your distorted view of history is not all lies. Like any good lie it includes bits of truth and then exaggerates and twists them to be what you want it to be.

The real history of the Church will
always be at odds with the constant
rewriting of it the Vatican is doing.
Fortunately this isn't the 15h century,
there is too much of the real truth
out there.

There is indeed so much real truth out there and yet you refuse to even look at Wikipedia because you said it is controlled by the Vatican. Come on Bob open your eyes the Vatican isn't rewriting anything, you and the people who fed you all kinds of misinformation are the ones trying to rewrite history.
