My family accept and to an extent, embrace, my spiritual beliefs but it doesn't stop their endless teasing about animal heaven. My daughters proposition is that when we die we have the choice of human or animal heaven - as far as I'm concerned there is no choice! Imagine playing chess with tigers or water polo with dolphins! Beside which there cannot be a state of bliss without animals and there would be all the other animal lovers in animal heaven obviously. What would everyone else choose?
