Do you believe that God allows us to torture animals?

It might be better to start with "Do I believe in God(s)?"

But you didn't answer my question. Is killing an animal the same as killing a human? Is causing suffering to an ant, for example, the same as causing suffering to a 3 yr old child?

And what gods do you believe in ps?

Of course killing an animal OTHER than a human isn't. An ant, as per my theological scale, is not equivilant to the life of a mammal. However, you tell me that a dog or monkey doesn't feel the same pain and horror as that of a 3 year old child, and well, you better HOPE there isn't such a thing as REINCARNATION...
