Get off the fence!
 
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE

The condition when some of a person’s beliefs are in contradiction to other beliefs they hold or to the way they live. Often people’s habitual patterns do not harmonize with their intellectual convictions. In Christianity, it is often the case that people attempt to live according to a Christian worldview due only to traditional bents without ever personally experiencing a true cognitive or intellectual conviction about such. This can produce a dichotomous life of dissonance or inconsistency in their beliefs and practices.

Another thread on intellectual and spiritual hypocrisy ... teach us James ... just speak a language we can relate to like English.

It's amazing how much you just assumed by this definition. Does that bother you in some way?

No, in fact I thought it so good I thought I would share. I don't have any lawyers calling my phones. Are you always this random?
