Just My Opinion With Spiritual Studd & M.t.

Hey Fam, We have discussed cognitive dissonance before. However, because of the times in which we live, we feel that we need to revisit it. Merriam-Webster's definition of cognitive dissonance is psychological conflict resulting from incongruous beliefs and attitudes held simultaneously. In psychology, "Cognitive dissonance refers to a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. This produces a feeling of discomfort leading to an alteration in one of the attitudes, beliefs or behaviors to reduce the discomfort and restore balance, etc." When we look at what is going in this country regarding marginalized people and their rights and the fact that so many "Christian" people voted and still support 45, we have to wonder "why"? Cognitive dissonance is one explanation. How else can you explain someone who says that they believe in and follow Jesus, not only behaving but also approving of someone's bad behavior just to get what they want. So does the end justify the means? It must in their mind
