Men hate reality and the truth and will accept anything that let's them believe they can escape it.

A corollary is that those hating reality and truth must also hate existence ... and themselves.

Exactly, and that explains the otherwise inexplicable hysterical defense of the irrational that you will continually encounter on these threads.

There are many Ellsworth Toohey's and Wesley Mooch's these days, but they seldom use those handles. They are more likely to pass themselves off as philosophers or theologians.

[Cogadh na Sith]

It's not so much reality should be questioned, as the reality of the questioner himself.

Descarte made the fatal conceit of believing that there is anything to question or anyone to question it. Once he included the word 'I', the folly was complete and passed to us as some odd gospel.

Nevermind that it runs entirely contrary to the true Gospel....

Correctly constructed, it would be:

"Thought exists with no one to think it and nothing to be thought of, therefore God exists."
