This is truly odd. Many Atheists do not believe that humans have souls or a conscience or morality. Many Atheists also believe that free will is only an illusion, nothing more than the manifestation of genetic wiring. Here comes an article claiming dogs have a soul. As a pet lover, I can understand why some people believe that dogs and cats have souls. Sorry, friends, but they do not. It is nothing more than projecting our thoughts and feelings upon them. We interpret certain actions that animals do as compassion or altruism, but that is a misconception on our part. I wish it were different, but the sad truth is that only human beings have souls.

“As a pet lover, I can understand why some people believe that dogs and cats have souls. Sorry, friends, but they do not.”

Human beings have souls.

Animals do not have souls.

I challenge you to prove either of these assertions.
