Welcome 
Well done for fighting through and valueing truth over comfortable delusion. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
That sounds familiar and convincing to me, the self deluding part. I've experienced a lot of otherwise intelligent people who have obviously deliberately swallowed the most convincing sounding apologetics they can find, to rationalise their emotionally held belief. Of course, they may well not be consciously aware that's what they have done. The brain is good at fooling itself.
