Not in my adult life. Since I was raised to be a Christian, I believed that absurd nonsense as a child, but while growing up, its inconsistencies and absurdities bothered me. So after looking for proof of god and religion, I found that the arguments in favor of god and religion are all fallacious garbage.

That describes all of the arguments for god and religion. They are all fallacious and ridiculous. Including the drivel you put forth in a later post in this thread. Indeed, your later post is an exercise in begging the question.

When I was young, I was surprised at the audaciously stupid arguments that some people put forth for their silly, ridiculous beliefs. Now, no matter how stupid the non sequitur, I am not surprised. Religious stupidity knows no bounds.

One does not always get what one wants. All of the arguments in favor of Christianity are fallacious. If you are too stupid to see the fallacies, that tells us something about you.
This, by the way, is why some religious people resort to saying that they believe by faith; that is, without evidence. Some Christians are smart enough to see that the arguments are fallacious. But, unfortunately, are not smart enough to reject faith.
