*sigh* I guess you're right. I apologize for the comment. But I did honestly think Bingo was just kidding when he said he believed a mouse had a human soul. I still doubt he really believes that, but whatever. Understand, I was not saying it was crazy to think a mouse had a soul, I was only saying it was crazy to think a mouse had a human soul. But I apologize nonetheless. I was wrong to say Bingo was nuts.
It's not an uncommon or weird belief. If you are a Buddhist a Hindu or any of those other things Bingo mentioned in his post, there is no distinction between human souls and the souls of anything else, they are all just souls, a soul that was once in a human may be in something else the next go round. Therefore you have a soul and the mouse has a soul, neither is greater than the other. Maybe in the next life you (meaning your soul) will be a mouse, maybe in the next life the souls of one of those mice you or I have killed will be in a human.
And yes, Bingo has said many times that this is his belief system and has been saying it for years, so I see no reason to doubt he is being earnest.
