Yes. I think the expression “I am still searching for the truth” can be a cop-out for facing reality, in more subjects than just faith.
Once an individual turns away from the faith they have known well to be the truth and in whom truth is....you can, with certainty, know the enemy of men’s souls will be quick and active to fill the vacancy.....and will spare nothing to entrap them.
So many who have done so end up ‘many’ years still seeking...some 13 others 30 only to return and see all the wasted years SPENT on a lie.
