Yes, as I recently stated in another thread, I hated having to come up with ad hoc explanations all the time to convince myself that everything in the bible is true. Once I realized I didn't believe any more, it felt like such a relief to not have to lie to myself any more. And the sad part was that I didn't realize I was constantly rationalizing until I stopped believing.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
