None. Angostic. I don't say there isn't a God- just haven't run across one yet. If I did, I wouldn't have any problem with it.

Well, I DO know that there is GOD. Although humans attempt to define and refine GOD, GOD exists in GOD'S terms..

On to your animal point. Ok, let's keep the argument confined to mammals. Is causing suffering to a puppy the same as causing suffering to a 3 yr old child? If so, why? If not, why not?

First off, what IS the difference between a puppy and that of a human child, since we aren't speaking in "Godly" terms..

IOW, WHY realistically is the life of a puppy any LESS important than that of a human?

Remember FormerLurker, the need of Nurses will be required to help the people infected with this disease.

Your kind heart will be very much needed. And if this ever gets loose once again, it will spread all over the Earth and Billions will become infected.

Are you serious? If you feel it's necessary to ask a question like that- I refuse to discuss this with you. I don't have time for that sort of idiocy. There's no reasoning with that sort of attitude and frankly I don't care to try.

Go ahead and get your parting shot in- something along the lines of me not being able to argue the point or whatever. I don't care. Have at it.

Cheers and goodnight.
