How to explain cognitive dissonance without offending cults and religion.

by Joey Jo-Jo in

(this might offend smokers lol).

scenario 1. let's say you are aware that smoking is bad for you and addictive (element 1) so you dont smoke (element 2) - this is congnitive consonance (rational harmony).

scenario 2. let's say you are aware that smoking is bad for you and addictive (element 1) but you smoke anyway (element 2) = the mind's natural reaction to this irrational decision is to create anxiety with the person smoking, but the person wanting to continue to smoke will substitute this anxiety with a positive mental idea "well him old so i will probably never get cancer" or "i will quit when i reach my 30's" this irrational excuse (element 3) will substitute element 1 - this is cognitive dissonance..

E.g. (this might offend smokers lol)

Scenario 1

Let's say you are aware that smoking is bad for you and addictive (element 1) so you dont smoke (element 2) - this is congnitive consonance (rational harmony)

Scenario 2

Let's say you are aware that smoking is bad for you and addictive (element 1) but you smoke anyway (element 2) = the mind's natural reaction to this irrational decision is to create anxiety with the person smoking, but the person wanting to continue to smoke will substitute this anxiety with a positive mental idea "well him old so I will probably never get cancer" or "I will quit when I reach my 30's" this irrational excuse (element 3) will substitute element 1 - this is cognitive dissonance.

Steve Hassan's books

by tornapart in

at the moment i can't get these books, they are not available as ebooks and i can't risk having them in the house.

but i have heard so much about them and how helpful they are that i am just wondering if any who have read them can give some insights they have gained from them that would be useful to know.

thanks in advance.

Joey Jo-Jo

you wont find e-book versions of these books at all

Iran vs Israel and the USA = WW III (Should we be worried?)

by Me Myself and I in

this particular bowl of soup has been bubbling for some time now, with various posturing and toing and froing.

looking at the media and the subsequent comments from israel regarding iran, it looks clear that something is going to happen soon, very soon..... with iran having the ears of both china and russia, israel having the us and of course we (uk) as the states poodle on the other side.

i wonder if this could be the beginning of the end?.

shepherd: I never failed, it's ok for you to turn a question into a question but not for me? Telling me to shut-up, I posted your comments on my wall and everyone is laughting, in case you dont know I live very close to a mosque which in my area there is a high arab presence that believe in Allah, I speak to them on a daily basis and have spoken to them about Iran, you will be surprised what they have to say about these American "pigs", and I did post a link which you failed to look into, don't want to spend some time researching, your loss and as a bonus you will continue to look like a twat.

Hate anything that is not Islam is at every muslims core, some are more extreme than others, they appear nice and one did a very good deed for me, but look a bit deeper, look at their tv programs and ex-muslims channels and you will see a different reality. Their armaggedom is a war, a holy war that all muslims must be a part of and fight, it's nothing like christianity.

Well said Razziel

shepherd: I usually don't answer a question with a question but I will note that from what is taught in Islam and from what the Iranian President had said (which you completely lied about), I would use all my power to take away theirs just as taking away a real gun from a baby.

greevee: Imagen you knew of someone that since birth was told to hate America as Allah hates America, depleting any form of empathy towards other nations, would you be confortable knowing these potential terrorists hold real weapons of mass destructions?
