i have a few things i would like to open up to discussion, for all fmlers. First of all, not to be silly or anything but i would like to discuss the afterlife of an animal, for all who believe in Jesus :) I've been told both ways that animals don't have spirits (of course this was someone's opinion, not scripturally backed) and so they can't go anywhere. But i've also read in revelation that during the tribulation all *creatures in heaven and on earth* will rise etc. and someone once told me that god loves the animals, why else would he call jesus the lamb of God? well, i've made my decision, lol although not unbiased. Would any others please post scripture, or thoughts about this. Or you could send them to [log in to unmask] . It'd be a cool topic of discussion. oh and the other thing was just a cute story.... I have mice also, and this one male mouse "milky" just got out lol....and he tried to creep by me. IT WAS HILARIOUS! hE was along the edge of the wall and going very very slowly, and he was kinda peekin over at me with these little black innocent eyes, and then would take a few more steps. when i turned my head he ran backwards! Mice are so cool! Why feed them to snakes? Rebecca (still misses dakota) ===== Jesus is cool. [Moderator's note: Please keep in mind that most discussions about this are likely to be too far off topic for the FML. We certainly can discuss why you feel your personal ferrets have (or don't have) whatever kind of afterlives based upon your own experiences with them, but the general theological question of "is there an afterlife" is most definitely beyond the scope of the FML and posts attempting to debate only that issue will not included in the digest. Thanks! BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3847]
