Fine, fine.

If you disagree with theological reasoning, it might be less stressful, though.

Whatever praise you may offer regarding the fidelity and friendship of our four-footed family members will get no argument from me. Likewise we would have to define terms like personality, soul, &c. It's complicated. We might be in more agreement than you infer.

However, at root, animals are not people. If you think otherwise, we would lack a basis for further discussion on this.

I trust we'll know the truth, ultimately, and I look forward to that.
