Do Religious people consider....?

Question

watching african crocodiles mating on television to be something of sin. You can't say it's how you think of it that's sinful but if your watching a nature program and that happens, it's only natural to think of it as sinful. Crocodiles can't get married.

Answer 1

Did Animal Planet just recently announce the discovery that crocodiles have souls? And consciences? And know right from wrong? It's called a nature program because it's...nature. Sorry, but I don't see how it would be natural to think of two animals mating as sinful.

Answer 2

Only human beings can sin because only human beings have the "knowledge of good and evil" and the ability to disobey God's instructions for them. Mating between animals is a natural extension of God's plan for them (populating the world) and there is nothing sinful about it. Watching it happen is also not sinful UNLESS perhaps it causes you to desire some form of sexual immorality...if watching the crocs mate makes you want to have sex with a croc, then you need to stop watching!

Answer 3

I don't. I consider it perfectly natural. Besides if they didn't there would be no more crocs. If it is sinful then either crocs have some sort of marriage ritual that we know nothing about or all crocs are going to hell for doing what is natural. Which would mean God is damning them for being the way he created them.

Answer 4

I'm religious and I don't believe in sin. Maybe you should revise that to Christian people. But, I don't think that they would consider it sinful either. They don't count animals on the same level as humans. After all, they don't even believe animals have souls, so they can't even go to heaven.

Answer 5

I guess it would depend on what beliefs you hold close to your heart, now wouldn't it. (and which path you followed).

Answer 6

No
