Someone (their friend) is telling or asking him to say his God is fake. He basically says fuck you, refuses to renounce his faith, and mocks the other person in the process. He sounds fucking pissed as well, which accounts for the crazy way he screams "fake messiah."
Everything you've ever begged me to be
Could never have meant any less to me.
Meaning: this person wants randy to say his God is fake, but randy believes the exact opposite.
Everything you've ever asked me to say
It's so far away from the truth.
Meaning: same as first two lines. randy starts sounding more pissed off.
So far away from the truth.
So far away.

Stitches sewn in your eyes.

Fake Messiah
Meaning: saying it to mock his friend again.
Prophecy now denied.
Meaning: his friend has denied Jesus, which randy refuses to do.
Over and over and ever again
Defending your insignificance.
Meaning: People who talk most about religion these days are non-believers. They constantly bring up religion and say how wrong it is. it sounds like they're "defending" their "insignificance." randy is still calling out his friend.
Useless intent hidden behind your mask
A coward's voice anonymous.
Meaning: since most non-believers don't believe in an afterlife, they don't "have" to be a good person because they won't be judged by a god after death. thus their intentions are questionable. his non-believing friend is an anonymous coward, because saying you don't believe in any religion or any organized religion at all is taking the easy way out.

The chorus is repeated again. Notice how he screams Messiah towards the end. He screams Messiah first. He believes in Jesus.
Although, you are entitled to your own opinion, I think you are mistaken by two major points. The first being, the song was mostly written by Mark, not Randy. The second is that LOG is a self proclaimed anti-religion as an institution band. They are only stating that this friend, has a fake messiah. This messiah, as stated in an interview of them, is "money".
