      cog·ni·tive dis·so·nance /ˈkäɡnədiv ˈdisənəns/ noun PSYCHOLOGY the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change

      Nothing to do with a feeling of discomfort or reconciling the beliefs. Not sure where you got that idea from.
