Do You Think Animals Have Souls?

Yes, I think God is love and that is what animals are about.

If we have a "soul".Surely the animals have one as well

I believe they have whaever we have that you might call a soul.

Yeah every living creature has soul in it. The feel the same way the human feels. That's why killing animals is a barbaric act.

Personally yes I do think that animals have souls. When I was going to church I was told different though. The church told me that an animal lives life by being told what to do..from us humans. Since that is how the animal lives...it can not determine from right and wrong...therefore, an animal does not have a soul. I would think that God would give all of his creations a soul...but that is just me.

I don't believe in the typical definition of "soul". But I get the same sense of excitement and wonder when I think about it from a scientific perspective. All that makes us and them up, our entire being, our very souls, boils down to electrical impulses. And though I believe that when we shed this mortal coil, no consciousness will live on; I do not think it detracts from the miracle of the "soul".

I believe they are spiritually connected to God, yes. I think their feelings are as true and valuable as ours. I don't think they perceive the world the same as us, though, but that is a good thing. If they did they'd act selfishly, carelessly and/or damage the environment and other species not their own just the way we do.

Why not? After all, they are intelligent creatures of God just as we are.

Of course, more so than many humans I've seen (saying in a hateful way, to obvious it up for you)
