What happens to my dog when I go to Heaven? (ritual, Earth)

Haydaman · #1 09-28-2007, 04:12 PM

Since the title for my thread won't allocate me enough room, let me elaborate.

My dog has no soul, correct? No free will, nothing of that sort. So why would it go to heaven?

Lets say, that one of my best friends in the world was my dog Spot, but spot died when I was 15 years old. It's been 50 some odd years and now I myself have passed. When I get to heaven will I see my Spot? Will I see a copy of Spot(A figment of my imagination created by god) just to make me happy? Will my dog just think when it's in heaven that we're in a cloudy house and still living? Unbeknown st that 50 some odd years ago he was hit by a car? What happens to him in between the time period between his death and my own? Nothingness? Dog Heaven? Will he be aware that I am there?

I'm curious to see what answers you guys have for me.

I dunno, but I have always been incensed at the idea of a Heaven with no cats.

This of course depends on the individual's idea of what heaven is. For many, heaven is a return to a "Oneness" with God. Death could be a removal of an individual's associations of reality, or put another way, the definitions that make up reality. As such, death is a return to non-individualization: Oneness.

So you become one with everything, including Spot. It works the same to replace "everything" with "nothing."

animals are not responsible of their actions. so they do not go to hell or heaven.
but if you go to heaven -i hope you do- it would be up to you to have your pal with you or not. heaven is a place where all of your desires come true.

Do you believe it would be the dog's spirit, though? Or the spiritual version of a hallucination?

Of course, this gets into philosophical ideas for what the "Self" and an "Individual" are.

Spirits belong to Allah and it is given only to humanbeings.
i don't think things in heaven are hallucination.

let me explain one thing about heaven and hell:
people who earns hell perceive hell physically. they percieve heaven as a vision. in other words heaven is not physical reality for the ones who go hell.
works the same for people who earns heaven. they see hell as a vision. they percieve heaven as we percieve earth now, physical.
if someone who belongs to hell mistakenly enters heaven then he would not be able to touch anything.

All living things are from G-d and to G-d I do believe they will return.

There's a story about believers in a cave in the Qur'an, and their dog is mentioned as one of the believers. Interesting stuff to think about...

you're talking about seven sleepers who slept for hundreds of years in a cave that located in Turkey.
i didnot know it was said in Qur'an. which verse would that be?

Well, I must say:

I had a dog named Spot once, my first dog. She died when I was 15! ha ha ha ha, true!

She visits me in my dreams now and then....

I don't believe in Heaven per se.... so I guess it all boils down to your perspective on it. I don't believe in heaven, but I do believe some laws that are proven.

Thus, I think that nothing is created nor destoyed. Thus if it existed to you, then so it still does. Take it for what you will, but you will see your beloved dog again.

AND BOOKO: AMEN TO CATS IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
