Christians, why does God not love His other creations?
You tell us that God made us and loves us, yet you also tell us that only humans have eternal souls while all His other creations have very limited existences. In addition, while humans supposedly first "sinned" and brought "evil" into the world, animals, God's other creations, also suffer tremendously just as if they had sinned. Why? Oh, and if you are going to try to tell me He does love His other creations by allowing them to not live forever, then why would He not also allow us to not live forever?
revulayshun, kind of blows your religion's "God is love" theory doesn't it if you are telling me God "hates"...

The Christian God discriminates. It's one of its most critical flaws.

The entire Earth suffered because of sin, it should give us an idea how serious sin is. However, God still provides for all His creation.
LUKE 12:6
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God.
PSALM 136:25
...And who gives food to every creature. His love endures forever.
PSALM 50:9-11
I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.
In the resurrection:
“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the goat … the cow and the bear shall feed, their young ones shall lie down together … and a little child shall lead them … They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” Isaiah 11:6-9.
His animals will live forever...

why do you suppose that God is under obligation to love everyone and everything in the same way and to the same degree? You don't put yourself under such obligation, do you?
You love different people in different ways and to different degrees, do you not? You even hate some people don't you?
Why do you not extend to God the same freedom?
As for the suffering of animals; The innocent ALWAYS suffer from the the evil deeds of the wicked. That is what makes evil evil. It causes an innocent party to suffer.
EDIT: Not at all. Pure love hates evil. Yes, God is love, yet He has the freedom to dispense that love as He sees fit.

I just see your questions a assuming that death is the end of life. That is why I cannot answer you in the way you are indicating. Death isn't anything, really. It's not an end to anything except for this life; the next one lasting for all eternity.
Sorry, I cannot do your accepted line of thinking. I abandoned it so long ago.
