I've also thought about that. Typical Christian beliefs would mean no animals could go to heaven because they don't believe in God or Jesus, so they would be punished for eternity. Buddhism makes more sense to me because it doesn't give you any specific "laws" that you have to follow or you will be punished forever, but it says animals were reincarnated as animals because in a past life as a human they didn't live the way they should've. After their life as an animal is over, they are reincarnated as a human to try again so they can eventually live in heaven. I believe in God and Jesus, but at the same time a lot of my philosophy and beliefs are Buddhist. |
