MemberOk, with all the questions to God and your opinions, lets try this one out. What happens to animals after they die? Do you believe they have souls? I have been told they don’t, but being an animal lover and having several myself, I just cannot believe this. My dog has feelings and I cannot believe that God would put a creature on earth, such as a dog that does not have a soul. I know for a fact that my dog has feelings and is not a lowly enough animal to have been catagorized as not having a “soul.”
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? BTW, I have a friend that sees a “ghost” of an animal. That has to mean something!

KeymasterI honestly don’t know the answer, and I’d be skeptical of anyone who says they do.
But here’s what a few other people had to say about it:
If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they
went. -Will RogersIf I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have
known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons. -James Thurber😎

MemberI believe that they must, they are living energy. We are seperated by an ability to rationalise (and communicate).

MemberMaybe there is a different heaven or hell for animals. Like dogs would go to dog heaven and cats would go cat heaven…… but i dont think we all go to the same place… well maybe…. who knows!

MemberWell, I am not a super religious person. Maybe I should be the way my life is going right now, but I do feel that (or I hope) that I will be reunited with my animals that have passed away in the future. It just doesn’t seem right that we are the superior beings. I know for a fact how intelligent some of these animals are and can’t believe they are being delegated to someplace away from their former owners. I hope this doesn’t sound weird, but I really feel animals have feelings. Maybe I’m just one of those “talk to the animals” people, but there is a bond there.
