> I agree and I don't agree. I think that a person can hold contradictory beliefs. I also believe, however, that when a person becomes aware that certain beliefs they hold are contradictory, they will naturally disbelieve one of the beliefs or both of the beliefs.

I agree, A person can hold contradictory beliefs and are called incongruent or dissonant, so we know there are incongruent people in the world. They are not truly in touch with themselves and their perceptions remain unchallenged, so it seems.

I believe when a person desires concongruency, they will get real and challenge their perceptions and get in touch with their feelings, thoughts and actions and gain a better perspective on their own beliefs for themselves.
