Unpacking #11: Cognitive Dissonance and Avoidance
from Sergio DeSoto | The Counterintuitive Thinker · host Sergio DeSoto
Most people don’t reject God. They renovate Him. In this episode, we’re not doing mystical explanations or churchy blame-games. We’re doing psychology—cognitive dissonance avoidance—and how it quietly reshapes the God of Scripture into something safer, smoother, and easier to sell. We’ll talk about why obedience triggers people, why truth isn’t marketable, how labels like “legalism” and “Jewish” become escape hatches, and why confusing Rabbinic tradition with the root of biblical faith keeps believers stuck in shallow certainty. And then we land on the question Revelation forces onto every honest reader: once you’ve been shown, you’re responsible. So… what are you going to do with it?
