Thank you for that response. I was begging to get the impression that I wasn't allowed to cherish animals but now I see that I can cherish them I just have to alter my perspective to match God's.
I still find that there is more peace in nature then there is in man but I suppose that will just take time and healing. I know that I cannot go on blaiming people for all of the wrongs in this world that blame should be laid on sin and the devil but knowing and believing are two different things. My mind continues to say people hurt me animals didn't. I know everyone says that humans are so much better then animals because God says so. But God also says to love all things equally mabye he only meant this for humans maybe he didn't. When you compare animals to man the biggest difference people talk about are intelligence and free will. Intelligence- prove it. Time and time again animals have shown themselves to be far more complex then previously believed. And free will? Humans are run by instincts just as much as they. When we're hungry we eat and we follow the same behavioural patterns our parents taught us as children. The only explanation that seems to explain any difference is that Christ died for us and not for them. Fine, but then wouldn't that put them on the same level as none Christians? I don't know. Am I stretching it? deffinatly. But my point is how far below are they cuz I think it's a lot closer then what most believe.
