:::*The abortion/death penalty thing isn't necessarily cognitive dissonance, because you are killing different types of people (innocent babies and violent criminals) for different reasons.
:::*The Christian/evolution thing is the 1/2 example. Not all devout Christians believe that the Bible is literal, so it's not cognitive dissonance to believe evolutionist evidence. It's ''probably'' CD for someone who's a devout Christian (no matter what form of Christianity they are devout in) to believe that God had absolutely ''no'' influence in the creation of the world, hence the "1/2" example
:::*the global warming example is actually a good example
:::*the last example is not cognitive dissonance. First of all, people who "rail against America and its government" don't believe that they ''are'' "reaping all the benefits of freedom and capitalism". Additionally, if someone doesn't like the government, the answer isn't simply to move out. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 14:14, 24 September 2008 (EDT)
