I take it in stride. Besides...not ONE single Freeper who disagrees with me has ‘pinged’ me to their snarky comments, preferring to carry on the conversation against me behind my back, so I take that for what it’s worth, LOL!
If anyone cares, I bought the following items for my ‘soul-less’ pets today:
*A new wading pool for the hot summer months ahead; already filled, already being enjoyed...
*A wrist-rocket device for flinging tennis balls about a 1/4 mile for them to chase...
*A fifty pound bag of dog food...
*A huge container of cat litter (AND I cleaned the cat box!)...
*A package of ‘Puperoni’ treats for training (a well-trained, obedient animal is a JOY to have around and it also keeps them safe)...
I never feel like a ‘loser’ and I ADORE my pets and treat them better than some people treat their own children.
Thanks for pinging me. It gave me the opportunity to share what I’ve done for my pets today (and every day.)
BUT, I do not believe they have souls. I do not think I’ll see them in the Afterlife because God put them here on Earth for my enjoyment and for my dominion and for my use and for my care. I can hardly WAIT to see what He has in store for me on the other side, if having pets in my life on THIS side has been so rewarding! :)
I just wish that people would get this worked up over the, Oh, I don’t know, ONE HUNDRED CHILDREN that have been ABORTED today, alone. There’s one hundred SOULS that need to be prayed for if anyone needs something to get worked up about. :)
You’re dealing righteously and mercifully with the creatures in your care, Diana, and that’s what the Lord asks of us.
There are many Christian sects that reject the concept of any creature other than man having a soul. Your salvation is not dependent upon accepting it.
But, it’s there, in the Bible. God is the God of the living, not the dead. Creation will be restored. None of his creatures were created for futility and annihilation. Mankind caused that, via the Fall and the curse, and it will be set aright.
I, for one, look forward to it. It’ll be glorious.
People can be as pro-life as they come [ME for example] and still bristle at someone categorically stating something so cavalierly that simply CANNOT be known, and with which they vehemently disagree. Stating your belief simply as your opinion, which is all that it is, would not have ruffled nearly as many feathers. But i think you knew that.
