“Anyway, I do not want to argue, just though I’d dip my teeny toe in the water.

If animals don’t have souls, just who is looking at you through those eyes? Are they just put on for decoration, or is there someone looking through those eyes at you?”

I don’t want to argue either, I am happy to have a discussion.

I don’t deny animals are alive, or think, or feel. I just deny they have a soul. Who’s looking at you through those puppy dog eyes? They are. They are what they are. You can describe them in many ways. But they aren’t souls.

>>But they aren’t souls.<<

No they are consciences or spirits. Where does it say that ONLY souls go to heaven? That there is nothing else?

If anything, pets would have an easier time than humans, because they don’t sin.

We will have to agree to disagree.
