Seeing Situations as we Want to See Them

Do animals experience fear as humans experience fear or do animals experience pain as humans experience pain? Any affect sin being brought into the world has had on animals is collateral damage. Those claiming human suffering has resulted from Eve's sin must explain animal suffering and pain. How did they or any of their ancestors commit sin? Have you seen either in person or in documentaries animals being eaten while they are still alive? Have you ever caught a small fish being eaten by a larger fish?
 
To make them feel better Christians say animals do not suffer or feel pain has humans do. We see situations as we want to see them. That is reason enough to love truth.Paul told the Thessalonians "The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
 
It appears the Bible warns us that we will believe what we want to believe so loving the truth is mandatory.
