Reply #3: I know little or nothing about the Babtist religion [View All]

So I do not know if this applies to your religion.

It seems to me that for the larger organized religions the emphasis is that man is the only animal with a soul and the things within the whole universe are set aside for his use. I feel this is wrong. Everything in the universe is inter-connected and therefore every act has an affect on everything else.

I believe animals have as much soul as humans. If a person expresses a belief in a god then they should respect everything their god has created. That includes all animals. Man has set himself above everything except god and only one level below god.
Until man respects everything the world will be filled with disrespect.
