I don't know. I remember when I was in Christian school I told my teacher to pray for my dog because she was sick. She then told me that she couldn't pray for my dog because they don't have a soul. That's not exactly something you tell an impressionable little kid.

Thats A Horrible Thing To say to a Kid. I Dont believe thats true, Its hard to look at a cute little dog or Cat and believe they dont have a soul. They stick with us in hard times and remain loyal, Thats more than i can say for alot of Humans.

Yeah,with the fact that animals can have such a connection with people,it just seems that they would have a spirit.

Yes, I believe that animals have souls and I like animals more than people. I have some pets that have more sense than some people I know.

No I don't believe it. Would this include mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc? They are animals too. I think not!:rolleyes:

Of course. I believe everything living has a spirit. An animal not having a soul is bull. OMG, lastnight coming home from the mall me & Amanda saw a dead chocolate lab on the side of the road and I wanted to bawl my eyes out. How could someone do that?!

I read a saying somewhere once (I can't remember who said it.) that went "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they went." That quote describes exactly how I feel. I'm such a huge dog lover and I firmly believe that they have souls and will be in Heaven when I die.

If people do, they why wouldn't they? Because their brains arn't as developed or they're different species? And to think an animal wouldn't have a spirit,cause, I dunno you don't like that animal and you think it's gross or something*SHAME* lol.

Of course animals have souls. They're alive after all and anything that is living has a soul.

Why would God want Noah to save the animals if they don't have souls. I believe ALL animals have souls, just because an animal isn't nice, doesn't mean it is soul-less. It is impossible to think that when an animal dies, it dies.

I agree- If there are no animal's in heaven, I wanna go where they go, people believe in souls because they can't accept life just ends- not believing animals have souls, means you don't believe they have proper Lives. At the minute I am greatly confused with the Bible. It contradicts itself too much. God says if you confess and repent you are forgiven, but in Jesus parable of the sower, he says those who don't live by the new law will go to hell. So much contradiction. Heaven would be annoying without animals, you'd have to sit around talking to people, and never have something to pet and talk to and throw a ball to, and it would play, comfort you and not answer you back or criticise.

I used to believe everything had a spirit. Sometimes I would kill and insect and watch REALLY CLOSE to see if I could see the spirit rising out of it. I know I shouldn't have killed for no reason, but I was a kid, and thought I could really see something

I had a friend tell me he thinks in Heaven we just exist as "beams of light energy" Sorry but that sounds like the worst most boring existence ever lol
