They are ok with suffering because suffering brings one to a higher spiritual value. That is why allowing suffering or even causing it is ok. It's God's will. Suffering is a shorter way to heaven. And besides suffering is a result of man's sin. And that logic is the kind of twisted logic they believe in.

(12,675 posts)That way they can be REALLY noble and dignified and have loads of "spiritual value", and they can go to heaven in the express lane. I'll gladly sacrifice my ticket to paradise in the next world if I can have all their wealth and use it to help improve the lives of the poor here in THIS world.

If the con's not religious, then the advice is to just stop doing whatever's causing your problem and start doing right. That's what JeBush! is referring to when he points out to black voters, " "You CAN achieve earned success." !!!!!
Cognitive dissonance NOT a problem. As you say, they've got it all worked out.
