What is your religious or unreligious view?

I am always being watched in through my living room window blinds and get telepathic thoughts about wanting grated cheese (I am Commanded by my neighbours cat. Spooky)

An interesting perspective from another thread about the orlay of animal souls after death:

Moreover, they are not fully developed and mature… But human beings are made for [a] much wider understanding of the universe. As such, their souls are fully developed. They are preserved because they have begun already to understand their Creator and they have also been born with a desire to meet God and to know Him and to love Him. These animals don’t understand these things, so there is no meaning in preserving their souls. But I don’t deny that either, maybe, in some form Allah does preserve their souls but we don’t know of that.

According to Islam, all beings worship God by the very fact that they exist, so that they don't need to be preserved and judged after death; in a certain sense they are part of the soul of the universe. The whole creation worships and understands (al-islam) God, but within it the human being in particular has free will to follow the law of God or not, do good deeds or do evil deeds, and therefore it needs to be preserved and is subject to God's judgement after death.

Yes, it's true.

It seems as if the time has come to talk about these things.

This is a real shame.

I myself spoke about SOUL a few days ago, and I wrote it in capital letters because that's what my heart asked me to do when I mentioned it.

There's so much to talk about all these things. Yesterday I began to think deeply about them and later realized how completely unreasonable it is.

My respect for everything, I still believe, holds me back.
Its importance.

Its true place.

I should try to advise you first. So that you can think and move forward on your own, at least a little, or a lot. Who knows?

It's impossible... It's so profound… and so close.

Many wonder about the soul. Others simply deny it. Do animals have souls? And plants?
They should rather ask themselves and think about where they're leaving it.
