It'sNotAFakeID Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hey, let's try to not derail this thread with religion like so many other threads have. TO, terribly sorry for C-Bear's and your loss. Just take solace in knowing that he (she?) is in a better place, with all of the other departed. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 This discussion actually already started over here a while ago. For the record, I don't think anything but humans have souls. I guess that means I don't have one either. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 glad you stood up for yourself and beliefs, i dont think you could have said anything different, a person who would say that is definetely souless A person who says that dogs don't have souls is soulless? dogs have souls, every living thing has a soul Even plants? cause they are living too I believe they do, they have emotions too, they shed their leaves before the fall...this is a controversial issue and cannot be proven but imo everything living has a soul...and i think it crazy when people dont think animals do, they experience fear, happiness, sadness, understanding, contentement, anger, excitement, the same things humans do. Having feelings and having a soul are two different things. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Sorry T_O_B to hear about your daughter's dog. Dogs have a way of becoming little members of the family. Sometimes they are better friends than our friends. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'm sorry you lost a good friend from the animal kingdom TO. They can really become a part of us and hold a place in our hearts. Any other discussions are for another day. For now just be well. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hey, let's try to not derail this thread with religion like so many other threads have. What do you mean by "derail"? From the OP: I got suspended from an Ethics class my Jr. year in college when the pious prof. said that dogs had no soul and didn't go to heaven. I told him that there are a lot of souless human's who don't deserve to be in heaven and that we should be happy that dogs let us in. I also told him he was full of s--t and that for all I cared he could go F himself. I walked out of class and he didn't like it. I got to go see the Dean. Lucky thing I won't see that jerek tomorrow because I'd re-introduce myself and let him know that I still to this day think he is a horses a$$. Religion would be very much on topic.

T_O_Bull Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 First I want to thank everyone for your support. Rocky was C-Bear's dog for 17 years and a loving member of our family. For his passing to be turned into a philosophical debate about relgion is something I would nevere have wanted. Let's keep our perspective here. I believe that Rocky, as well as five other canine members of my family, are happily romping around a big field in heaven waiting for one of us, probably me, to join them. If you don't think dogs have a soul, fine, save the philosophical debate for another time, another thread. If you do believe, some time , some where, some when, stop by my bench, I'll have a Milk Bone for your friend and a cold beer for you. Who knows maybe God and his Great Dane will drop by and join us.

I think the spirit of the thread is to focus on the passing of the dog and offering condolences and encouragement - not attacking each other or disagreeing over theological beliefs. We already have a thread about this exact topic. Quote Link to comment

HUSKER 37 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 dogs have souls, every living thing has a soul Except cats. Souless beasts... I thought about writing that...And the quote by Robert Plant on "Dazed and Confused" "The soul of a woman was created below" Best Answer :"That's not our soul, That's our weapon Quote Link to comment
