In several of my articles here at Ezine Articles I describe how the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion and/or Mainstream Christianity is based upon sorceries, tricks and magic, and one of the best known magic tricks that they use to great effect is the trick known as the Shell Game. Simply put, and for those of you who don’t know, this is a game of now you see it, now you don’t, and very popular it is, too. this, though, leaves us with a question: How can we accurately, honestly and Truthfully apply it to Roman Catholicism with all its Protestant denominational splinters (the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion) and, as my title would suggest, incorporate Cognitive Dissonance into the equation as well?
Well, as it turns out, I just happened to be reading an article on a web page this week about this very subject i.e. Cognitive Dissonance and how the author of this article has come to the conclusion that it defines our very lives, today, in this modern world we live in, or is it a post modern world – who cares anyway? to make his case, the author cites a scene from a movie called ‘Chicago’ whereby a man is caught, by his wife, in bed with two other women. in a pathetic attempt to placate his wife he tells her, and I quote: that he is alone. His stunned wife replies: what do you mean, I can see two women?? the husband replies: believe what I tell you, not what you see Now, is this an unbelievably ludicrous state of affairs, and have our lives and/or our minds, in this early part of the 21st century, really reached such a crazed mind numbing level of surreal stupidity? I would have to say yes in my reply to this question. As it turns out the wife in this film shoots her wayward husband, so obviously she was not a victim of Cognitive Dissonance and nor was she having any of it.
Now let’s stop and think about what I have related here, because what I have described raises some very serious issues. One issue might be, is it better to be guilty of a crime, and in this case a murderous crime of passion, than be a victim of this wretched mental disorder known as Cognitive Dissonance? Now, if you think I am out of order by saying this, just wait until you have finished reading this article before you pass judgment.
Before I press on, here is a brief definition of Cognitive Dissonance from the Ethics Score Board web page:
Cognitive dissonance is a psychological phenomenon first identified by Leon Festinger. it occurs when there is a discrepancy between what a person believes, knows and values, and persuasive information that calls these into question. the discrepancy causes psychological discomfort, and the mind adjusts to reduce the discrepancy. in ethics, cognitive dissonance is important in its ability to alter values, such as when an admired celebrity embraces behaviour that his or her admirers deplore. their dissonance will often result in changing their attitudes toward the behaviour. Dissonance also leads to rationalizations of unethical conduct, as when the appeal and potential benefits of a large amount of money makes unethical actions to acquire it seem less objectionable than if they were applied to smaller amounts.
Now as we can see there is huge potential for deception here unless we keep on our guard and our Spiritual antenna switched on, because this is where many people come unstuck. As we can see, people usually take the line of least resistance with compromises galore in order to excuse their thinking, beliefs and standards, even to the degree of believing these deceivers when they tell them that white is black or black is white. what must be understood here is this; in order for Cognitive Dissonance to work rejection of the Truth must occur and/or the rejection of the facts in any instant matter.
So with that, let’s be clear, for multiple millions of people today are victims of this disorder, especially those deceived by the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion (mainstream Christianity). these are people who attend ‘church’ services each week and are told one thing, whilst all the while, if they took the trouble to look and see in the Holy Scriptures, check those Holy Scriptures against the Greek and Hebrew originals, with the assistance of translation helps, they would find something else i.e. the Truth. the Truth is right there within the pages of the Holy Scriptures, but these people don’t want to know the Truth, because they would rather believe ‘the husband’s’ version of things from the pulpit or the Cognitive Dissonant version, for it is easier and more comfortable to live with. this phenomenon is also referred to as ear tickling.
It’s the same in the political arena, too, because very few people study up on the men or women they plan on voting for, and even worse, never check out that the voting process they put their trust in has not been nobbled or corrupted. the bulk of the masses of the people know virtually nothing about how their votes are counted, or how their political masters are pre-selected by those above them and yet go blindly to the polls thinking that they elect these people into office. this, dear people, is mind numbing Cognitive Dissonance at its best, or should I say at its worst? this, too, is why the Lord Jesus Christ gave us this firm warning:
Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
This verse was spoken by the Prophet Hosea at a time when the ten Tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel were being invaded and taken away captive by the Assyrians (725 BC). They had received warning after warning from the Lord’s Prophets telling them to turn from their evil ways and their general foolish behaviour, but were they listening? no way, and not a chance, because Cognitive Dissonance had set in big time, and they all went, as a nation of people, headlong into total denial or delusional thinking. We need to understand that apart from a tiny few, Molech worship (modern day Bohemian Grove in California) had become the order of the day, whereby they even offered their first born babies into the fiery furnace that burnt in front of this lifeless stone idol. to compound their evil wickedness they would then cover their bets by making an animal sacrifice offering to the real Godhead on the annual Holy Days. How stupid and blind can you be? Easy, as stupid and blind as those who today think the Godhead is a pagan trinity and that Peter was a Pope and/or a Bishop of Rome; that Christmas and Easter are Christian Festivals and that Good Friday to Sunday Morning is three days and three nights and so on and so forth – can you see the Cognitive Dissonance?? I do hope so.
We can also add in the secular political dimension to this, too, because there are multiple millions of Americans who think Mr Obama is President of the United States of America when all the while he is only President of the US Inc. – a corporation registered in Puerto Rico and listed on Dun & Bradstreet (The US Inc. was set up in 1871, for those of you who are not Cognitive Dissonant and who wish to research this). this is why Obama’s US citizenship and birth certificate uncertainties are, in reality, a non-issue to those above him; those who really run things and pull his puppet strings. the Truth is he would not need to be a US citizen in order to be the President or the CEO of the US Inc., so you see folks, all these things begin to add up and make sense once we shed the blight of Cognitive Dissonance and open up our eyes to their deceptive shell games and have a good laugh. We should too, because the Lord most certainly does:
Psalms 2:1-5 (KJV) Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His Anointed, saying, 3 let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall He speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure.
Notice how appropriate these age old Holy Scriptures are for us today as we watch the antics of the two-bit clowns that supposedly govern us. the Lord calls them heathen and rightly so ‘cos not one of ‘em is a God fearing being. the people that follow after them are no better, either, being full of vain imaginings i.e. what I call the Three F’s – Fantasies, Fallacies and Foolishness or perhaps we could call it Cognitive Dissonance? Notice, too, how these arrogant people; here called kings (rulers or leaders) take counsel together against the Lord and set themselves, which literally means to position themselves in direct opposition to the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they say: let us disassociate ourselves from anything that is Godly and Righteous (just) and cast away any responsibility that the Godhead and/or any right minded man or woman would expect of us. We are all powerful now, they think, and who can overthrow us, they boast? little do they know, for the Lord holds them in derision, which means mocking them as if He were an insightful foreigner looking on from without, and can see all their vain stupidity and weaknesses, which they, themselves, cannot see. so, there we have it, even our puffed up arrogant leaders have Cognitive Dissonance could we even say this is the blind leading the blind? I reckon – QED.
