How to Explain Cognitive Dissonance

Ask a preacher, during a church service, where God was during the 2008 Chinese earthquake (which killed an estimated 100,000+ people), if he had the power to stop it. It did, after all, kill many obviously innocent children, babies, etc.

Cognitive Dissonance is the headache that 90% of the churchgoers present will immediately get while trying to figure that out.
