Good News for Animals and All Creation: What Does it Really Mean
By Frank and Mary Hoffman - 4 Aug 2011
Dear Maynard:
If we look at the situation from the standpoint of the people who care about animals, and actively seek good news for animals and all creation, then we believe it can carry through all theologies, though as you say, there may be some variations. because it does center upon eliminating inflicted pain and suffering.
The main problem with the Abrahamic religions is that they have distorted God's intent to justify the suffering they inflict upon the animals and the world around them, which had nothing to do with God's creation and heavenly intent. This is a people problem, and not the problem of the principals that God instilled in the hearts and minds of the founders of the religions.
In the Love of the Lord,
Frank and Mary
