I follow the blog of an extremely dedicated and methodical and steadfast Christian . Daily his posts back up consistently his views through Bible quotes . Some disagree with him on levels that are complex and beyond my " pay grade " . Recently he posted that all he had written about and believed was if push came to shove , based on faith . That was the bottom line . The last defence . I find it hard to put into words how impressed and even deeply moved I was by that statement . For only so long can anyone of any faith rely solely on dry academic quotes from ancient manuscripts . There must be more . That more is a little madness . That more is a little illogical . That more is FAITH in the unseen or unprovable ( KETHER )That more is what makes my blog tick too . Not everything needs to be proved in black and white .
Now what annoys me is when beliefs are not treated equally . Someone recently called my blog mad . They said it to my face as well . All beliefs are subjective and those who fear and loath this blogs subjects back up their own beliefs from very old sources which are far from clear , and many believe are incomplete . We need to validate our beliefs on what we see every day . I believe this is the future
Just to re-cap as some may now think ive slipped into an anti-Christian rant : I was deeply moved by this mans admission of all relying on faith and I wish him all the best in his current troubled time .

Can an animal have a soul ? Most people think not , but if your reading this blog its fairly safe to say you are not most people . The most types have stopped reading a while ago now . I myself am going to pass on answering this question directly, but I have some observations worth mentioning .
Firstly why are we so quick to end the life of an animal thats suffering ? Why do we not give fellow humans this same treatment when they are so obviously suffering ? We often say that we wouldnt let an animal suffer that way , so why a human ?
If an animal has no soul then why does it rack our conscience so much when we see one suffering , so much so we are willing to do the disturbing deed of ending its life to end its suffering ? Why do we care so much if a soul isnt supposed to be present ?
Why cant we give fellow human beings the same elevated sympathy and chance to escape pain ?

This is a bit weird . All I can say is she better be keeping a eye on the tide as I know from experience you can soon get stuck in there . I got out with wet feet !
