    holding two conflicting beliefs at the same time.

    like you don’t believe in the death penalty, but you read about a child molester and want them to die.

      Like you don’t believe in the death penalty, but you read about a child molester and believe they should be killed*

      I think this is more accurate, wanting them to die but believing that they shouldn’t be killed is logically sound
