“For if animals are God's creatures, we have no absolute rights over them, only the duty to look after them as God would look after them. To stand with Jesus is to reject our view of ourselves as gods and lords of creation. We are to honor life for the sake of the Lord of life.” IfsLooksJesusAnimalViewsLordRightsCreationDutyHonorCreaturesAbsolutesSakeRejects Book:Animal Gospel Source: Animal Gospel
“I do not oppose violence simply because it is counterproductive. I oppose it because it betrays animal rights philosophy.

“When I was in my teens I had a series of intensely religious experiences. They deepened my sense of God as the creator of all things. And they also deepened my sensitivity towards creation itself so that concern for God's creatures and animal rights followed from that. Some people think I'm an animal rights person who just happens, almost incidentally, to be religious. In fact, it's because I believe in God that I'm concerned about God's creatures. The religious impulse is primary.” PeopleThinkingBelievePersonsFactsHappensI BelieveReligiousAnimalRightsCreationCreaturesConcernConcernedAll ThingsSeriesCreatorI Believe InPrimariesImpulseBelieve In GodAnimal RightsTeensSensitivityI Believe In GodReligious Experience Author:Andrew Linzey
