It is sometimes difficult to accept the truth, when the fantasy is so appealing.

Appealing?

Behold the words of Christ, and tell me if this is appealing:  

Matthew 24:6-12
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Matthew 24:21-22
 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Matthew 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken

Behold the words of Christ

Words that are completely meaningless to me. There's no reason to even read them. I may as well read of Budda.
