Default Do animals go to Heaven?
Okay, so God created every living thing, supposedly. I would like to know what happends to his non-human creatures when they die please? Do they go to Heaven? Do they have a soul? Are they pure of sin? Can an animal sin at all? If they can, how would they repent for those sins? I guess Buddhists will have a field day with this question.

Yes! They wil be resurrected and will go to Heaven! They have an eternal soul, but cannot sin because they are incapable of understanding God's laws.

When things die the energy is recycled (as far as my idea(religion) has led me to believe) so heaven is irrelivent for me really.

On a different note, why is it that we are the most intelligent animals yet we pre-ocupy ourselves with religion and dying and other animals just get on with actually living thier lives instead of worrying constantly about a higher power?

I've never held the belief that animals have souls.

I was taught that animals don't have souls so when they die nothing happens. It's kinda sad. The idea that animals don't have souls seems to me like another way for us to feel more important than animals. We're special because we have souls and they don't.

How does that work though seeing as they (mainly mammals) have the same biology as humans and have free will?
Just because they don't feel the need to worship doesn't mean that they lack souls.

I'm an animist, so I believe that everything has some sort of soul to it.

What do you think, kadzbiz? How would you answer the question you posed in your OP? And why do you believe as you do?
