I smashed two flies in my apartment yesterday and there is one left- I think he misses his friends. If I smash him today do you think he will go to "fly heaven" and be reunited with his friends? I am hoping to give him the chance today- I'll get a flyswatter if I have to.

But it's a living thing. Don't abort it.

It would be nice if we could protect all living things, but it's not feasible. Focusing on protecting human life seems worth doing, as well as doing what we can for animals, but I think that drawing the line at insects who are in your home makes sense. Maybe I should capture the fly and mail it to you if you would like to give it a home?

For insects outside, I make an effort- I try to not step on ants on the sidewalk and for worms on the sidewalk after a rain, I put them back on the grass- I have saved hundreds of worms I am sure, and I'm probably a legend in worm heaven. But I have my limits- some people shoo away mosquitos that are on them, but I smash them- you can only do so much.

Seriously, fuck mosquitoes. Cost me many a night's sleep. I swat them and then go full Mortal Kombat Fatality on their corpses because I hate them so fucking much! Actually fuck all parasitic organisms in general.

No, even if heaven exists no animal will enter it since they dont have a soul, especially one like a fly.

There's only insect hell. Not even bees go to heaven, everyone knows that.

How do we know that humans are the only living beings on this earth without a soul? That seems very uncertain to me.
