//////> 9/11 ~!~ Psychologists Speak Out I dont need to look at the evidence. I wouldnt believe it even if it WERE true. I refuse to believe that that many Americans could be that satanically treasonous. Someone .would have talked. ~!~ These are beliefs. They are not scientific facts. But, these beliefs do keep us from looking at the empirical evidence. - Frances Shure, 20-Year Licensed Professional Counselor, Psychotherapist Cognitive Dissonance ~!~ Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to pretect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesnt fit with the core belief.
