Ingrid, I think sometimes our "religions" limit God(or whatever you want to call him) too much. Why they try to define the undefineable, limit the limitless, etc., is beyond me. Why would he give life to a thing and not give it a spirit? It makes no sense. I assume he loves, and is proud of, ALL things he has made - so why would he give a spirit/soul to only one of those creations? And why would he provide a "heaven" for only humans? I was taught that all things - human, animal, plant, etc. - were created by the Creator to work together for the good of this world. ALL are due honor and respect. So why would they not have some sort of spirit? I think we humans - who think we know so much - really know very little about the world around us. We try to limit and define it too much. Now people will KNOW I am certifiably nuts!! Mary ===== Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores.
