Ontological naturalism destroys all identity, semiotic meaning, and appeal to rationality. This leaves its adherents living a self-constructed fantasy contrary to what they actually believe true.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with existential nihilism unless one makes the mistake of equivocating it with nihilism or thinks that nihilism necessarily follows.

These forums are filled with examples that make your claims of ontological naturalism's destructive capability ridiculous.

Your last claim is absurd. You are claiming that reason informed by science results in fantasy. Yet, I assume you support religious claims that fly in the face of observation as non-fantasy.
