hummm… humans are animals…ergo… humans have no soul

Actually, in some beliefs we’re unique from them.

but, all dogs go to heaven. and, dogs are animals. so, they must have a soul.

animals have souls, most humans don’t

If there are no animals in Heaven, then it isn’t Heaven is it?All life has a soul, people just say that animals don’t have a soul so they won’t feel bad killing them for food or sacrifices and to make themselves feel more important.

I agree.

Perhaps it is you humans who, through your inability to recognize the innocence and purity in the souls of animals, have no souls yourselves, and that is what sets you apart from animals.

If all the kitties who’ve owned us before going to the Great Beyond aren’t in heaven waiting for us, we don’t wanna go there either!

Actually all living beings have Chi, Tao, Lifeforce, energy, etc. Therefore, no one has a soul to sell. But they are free to recycle that energy if they want to.

There are some real wonderful people out there who will help take care of the pets that are left behind when their Christian owners are taken up in the Rapture. This is a great example of human kindness and spirit…

Al Green got soul.

But do they have rhythm?

How could anyone truly look into the eyes of an animal and say they have no soul, spirit, life force….whatever. They feel many things just a deeply and profoundly as we do. They just can’t verbally express it.

if our pets don`t have souls then why do they know exactly when we are down in the dups and are always there to console us.Even though they don`t speak our language they always know how to translate it.Why are they the most loving, loyal, nonjudgemental companions.Why do they know in advance if a family member is about to have a siezure.Why do they come into our lives at a time thats always perfectly planned in some way.I believe our pets our here to teach us lessons in life, and why after they`ve come into our lives do our lives seem to unfold or blossom.

I guess it was a bad choice of words because I don’t even buy into the Christian belief of a soul. I just get really irritated when the religious people dismiss animals in that way. An animal will give you unconditional love while a human many times cannot.

Forget it . You just get a cease & desist order and you are done.

Thank you bubbareb, I totally agree. I know that all those kitties that have gone before are just waiting for me to come and serve them again – Go Fur Babies
