Oh I'm not offended, I just don't understand the concept, and as it seems that you have an at least somewhat defined understanding (or maybe as you call it 'belief'), I thought maybe you could explain. Of course I realize that there are many people who see some sort of relation between 'living creatures' and 'souls', but I rarely find someone who wants to explain in any depth (well, organized religions have large bodies of dogma that explain the details, but I tend to find them unsatisfying as at some point they rely on 'because we say so'; and apart from that, I don't think your argument comes from any mainstream religion's theology anyway). What I mean is - why do some living creatures have 'souls' (and, I think I can conclude from your argument, should not be killed by others? Maybe only not by others with souls? Not sure if there are living beings without souls?) Like, insects - do they have souls? And micro-organisms, say, fungi?
