    Who here, atheist or otherwise, has told a child (or an adult) their recently deceased pet has gone to heaven?

    Christians, is it true?

    Atheists is it morally sound?
    Telling a child that a deceased pet has gone to heaven is a way to console a child that it isn't really dead; it's just gone somewhere else.

    Official doctrine (for grown-up Christians) is that only humans are made in God's image, only humans have souls, therefore only humans have an afterlife. All other animals die and stay dead.

    enough dad jokes...
    back to pets, or livestock, or untamed animals, or fish, or insects, or any other form of "life" we know (including plants, because i WANT my venus flytrap by my gold-sheeted bed in heaven) that will or will not be accompanying us to the promised land...
    i think it would be one of the Lord's egregious oversights if He/She did not allow the entities that were endeared to us in life to be forcefully removed in the glorious afterlife...

    Really? That is a surprise!

    I can't picture you collecting shellfish.
