Under the premise that humans have souls (another debatable topic on it's own), YES bugs and animals have souls. Let's start by addressing just animals. Our genetic makeup is at least 95% similar to that of apes. Where in that last 5% is a "soul" gene? At what point in evolution would humans have suddenly attained "souls"? The answer to the debate, in my opinion, is yes and no. The institution of such a law would be problematic. People kill bugs accidentally every day. People kill bugs on purpose every day too! Everyone would be going to jail! And there would be less focus on what is truly important, like murder of humans. As far as animals go, I say yes, murder of an animal should warrant jail time. Funny thing is that our society is extremely hypocritical in this aspect. We have laws against animal abuse. It's illegal to shoot your dog dead because he didn't come when you told him too. Yet factories around the country slaughter animals just like dogs (millions, yearly). To make killing animals illegal would be to make eating meat illegal (unless the animal was already dead...). It's something that I would support, but not really anyone else. Theoretically, I fully support the idea. Realistically, no. At least, not for now, or a while.

I'd assumed that the people on this website might have the intellectual capacity to use reason and logic rather than name calling and insulting. Really, hercules? Grow up.

Hah! But if it god does not exist, you will never know, you'll be dead. Therefore, you will never know you wasted your Sundays. Let's say, hypothetically, one could know. The church-goers might be bumming, by how about theists that don't go to church? Just believe. What's wrong with a life-time of delusion, when that delusion makes one, overall, happier (theists are usually happier than atheists, other factors related to happiness notwithstanding)?

People are born atheist? Wow, I'd like to disagree. And by whom are they convinced of believing in god? Others who believe in god. And by whom are they convinced? It leads back to, at LEAST, one original person believing in god. Given, that person was not born atheist, thus disproving the statement people are born atheists.

That's not true. The situations really are not analogous. A belief in invisible pink munchkins would be highly specific. A belief in purely a higher power would not be (and is not). No one is born with an inherent belief in invisible pink munchkins. Many humans are inherently born with a belief in god, or a questioning of his existence. The fact that such a questioning is inherent, and that you and I can speak of this inherent thing, proves a potential existence.

Evolution does not contradict the existence of god, but rather the tenets of certain religious denominations. Or, more simply put, the word of the bible. The idea of a higher power and the idea creationism can be mutually exclusive, and, for many people such as myself, are.

Although, if the agnostic were smarter, it would not have said la la la la la la la. instead, it might say...

Agnostic: If the existence of something is extremely improbable, I will side against it's existence. It is very very unlikely that aliens from another galaxy have visited earth, but it cannot be completely disproven. I do not believe aliens from another galaxy have, to this point, visited earth. However, the existence of a higher being is not extremely improbable. Yes, the idea that we all eat ice cream in a field of white clouds is improbable--that is oddly specific. I am claiming nothing specific when I acknowledge the possible existence of a higher power. Higher power is a pretty broad subject.

Athiest: la la la la la la
