Truth2Freedom's BlogThere are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "...truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity--it is simply true and that is the end of it" - Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” - Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
"OUR WORLD" 
There were cruelty free cosmetics being sold by the 1980s and I suspect going back to the 60s or 70s. It is hard to understand why they continue to torture animals. Cosmetics aren’t even necessary and it wasn’t so long ago they were considered immoral by the majority. There is a long list of ingredients grandfathered in as safe anyway–I think it is called gras – generally recognized as safe.
I was just thinking how I read a few years ago that John Wesley, the father of Methodism was advocating for farm animal rights-against cruelty in the 1700s.

Indeed.. all animal testing is cruel and unnecessary.. for beauty and cleaning products and definitely not for cigarettes… And I really don’t see the benefits of using animals in the medical profession, unfortunately they do use animal by-products in some medications like the flu shot, but they have a new synthetic one, which is good news for people allergic to eggs and for vegans.
Many scholars were vegetarians and against animal cruelty.
