All living things have a soul.

Of what purpose is a soul to a lizard if it cannot be saved?

By wanton destruction of everything God gave us, we demean God's Creation on a daily basis.

Wanton destruction? Do you mean as in killing pigs for bacon and pork chops? Are you a vegetarian? Do you wear leather shoes? Do you use a checkbook and read paperbacks which are produced by cutting down living trees?

All living things have a soul.

Does a tree have a soul? A weed? Compost?

Soul is life, a "force" that animates. Without it, nothing "breathes" on its own. Yes, animals and plants "breathe."

You are confusing it with something esle. All living things have "life" in them. When they die, "life" leaves them, i.e. their "soul" separates; they stop breathing, they stop "living" and become dead. That goes for all living things. I know this is all Greek to you, and in fact it is Greek! :)
