If a dog has a soul and that soul ceases to exist after its death, why not the same with a human?
Yes he did. You have to work on your comprehension skills.
He said only human souls continue on after death: quote "God sustains them".
What a load of crap. I would agree the further back in time the more people thought this. But you must really hate that liberal animal lovers whom are Christians would disagree and that dogs and cats do have a "soul".
Nothing has a "soul". Native Americans long before Europeans invaded the Americas had the idea of Animal spirits.
The idea of "souls" and or "spirits" and afterlife predates your religion, and even predates any written religion.
There is no afterlife for humans, or animals or plants or fish or insects or bacteria.
There is just life and end of life, and life that survives the life that does not survive.
I am sorry someone sold you such a frightening damnation story using threats and bribes. But it should not scare you one bit that your life is as finite as your dog or cat. You can do good and be good while accepting the ride ends for even you.
