"How do you know there is a Heaven? Have you seen it?"
That's the "great debate" and there are those who ask that, but all you can do is have faith. I have more faith in God than I do in people.

I never said if someone doesn't see or witness something that means they can't feel strongly about it or have knowledge of it, but how credible you appear to those you are trying to preach to is where having seen something matters the most. If you can convince people based solely on what you have read or heard about and how YOU feel, bravo, keep it up. But there are people who can't be bought with words alone because they don't trust everything people say or they have to see it for themselves to believe it. Those are the kinds of people who your words will mean nothing to and those can be some of the hardest people to convince that there is animal cruelty going on because until they see it, to them, it isn't happening. And here we come back around to people not wanting to see the bad things going on around them or haven't seen it and probably should. If you choose not to, that's your choice, but don't get mad when someone wants to share.
