In the end, they experience "cognitive dissonance" that shows their feelings of discomfort due to conflicting attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors between mind and action. The results of other studies are indicated by the existence of anxiety and fear if God is angry. This is because they worship but still having sex with same-sex. However, these four respondents stated that they could not do anything, and continued to live a life that must be lived.
