Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously (
Cognitive dissonance - Wikipedia). I guess this whole forum is one huge example!
Understanding that Faith is a belief "not resting on logical proof or material evidence." (
Faith - Wikipedia - I am open to discuss alternative definitions)
I wonder.
Is faith the answer given by religion, and more interestingly, accepted by its' followers to short circuit cognitive dissonance?
