In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus
RE: In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus
Quote:What good are psychological insights if they can't be applied by relatively well-read laypeople?
These days anyone can Google....

Yeah, that's the problem. You think that a superficial access to information imbues you with expertise. It is also highly irresponsible for you to pickpocket psychological theories as tools to self-diagnose and diagnose others. 

Quote:Consistency is an accomplishment which too few people are clever enough to pull off. I certainly did not in my own lifetime, so I understand the problem personally.

This is so backwards. The theory predicts that we are motivated to maintain consistency between our beliefs and behaviors: when there is dissonance we quickly seek to resolve it. So why are you saying consistency is an accomplishment few pull off, when the theory views consistency as the baseline we are always at and always strive to return to?
