Cognitive Dissonance.

Cognitive Dissonance – The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.

As a small child, I remember taking sips from my dad’s beer at every opportunity I could; I watched him get drunk countless times and scare me with who he would become. I took a drink so that I could be more like him.

I remember the first time I took a chew of Copenhagen; a guy with half his face gone had recently spoken at the school about the dangers of tobacco. I took a chew and thought, Read More

We named the war similarly, but there was no hope of resolution because even our disagreement didn’t actually have a common ground.

The problem I have with that question, is that the current social definition of a Christian is pretty weak.
