The Catholic Church does not agree. According to the canon, animals don’t have souls and therefore have no afterlife. And even if they did, the Church believes that you don’t go to hell simply for not believing in God.
How could a just and loving God condemn the entirety of non-human life to eternal punishment and damnation, simply for not having the cognitive ability to understand belief?
Seems like either: A. there is no god or hell and the argument is completely moot. B. There is a god and it really is an evil death cult bent on ending all life for some bizzaro sense of ‘salvation’ (God is not loving) C. There is a god and it is ambivalent to the suffering of everything but humans (god is not just) D. all dogs go to heaven. (God actually is just and loving)
Oh why did I stop here…
Indeed, why? I’m curious
Because God is a concept invented to bully the uneducated and the mentally vulnerable into submission.
