Their belief relies on taking the whole thing as truth, you don't get to pick and choose

@canusernamebemyusername are you familiar with the term cognitive resonance?

@ozgirl512 No. Thanks for the word:3 I definitely know the dissonance one but resonance makes sense too.

@canusernamebemyusername it basically means seeing only those facts that agree with your already conceived opinion ...
