bro... thank you for your patience with me. but I must take a risk of upsetting you again. When you write that, it sounds to me like someone playing a prank on you. If god really wants you to believe, he will show himself. nothing could be simpler.
bro... every time you call me intellectual I really don't know what to say or think. I myself think I am simple-minded. If not pushed so hard by parents, will probably be uneducated as well. I rely on things I can easily understand.
It's not that I don't believe. It's that I am not sure. Not for me to insist. I can have belief, but it is not my place to insist that I am sure or not sure. Between you and me if you ask, I will say I think I am more likely to believe, but I cannot say that I am sure. As for what I saw, it sounds like a description people use for ghost, but I cannot prove it to you. You must believe in me to accept it. That I will NOT ask you to do. I saw something, and I'm sure it looks like what people call a ghost. But I do not have proof.
I don't fully agree. It matters all the time. I find it doesn't make sense to buy insurance only to cover you finally crash a car. Why don't drive properly and maintain car properly all the way. Which is why no matter which book you choose to believe in or not, I hope you find the afterlife you are looking for.
Let me ask you something. Have you ever heard of dog rescuing owner? I include a few example below :

because dog is not considered clean animal and cannot follow sembahyang, does that mean that when it dies it goes to hell?
OK. I ask u now. Teres tons and tons of gods around. Tell me which god u believe if all of they appears infront of u?
U are an intelligent guy. Is good to becurious and ask lots of questions. But u will never be satisfied.
U tink u saw a ghost. U beleive cos people said so. U should not believe believe wat people said or write.

Physical world and hereafter. Body and soul. U go figure it out.
As for animals, sorry, its beyond my knowledge. I dont have answers for tat. But they are created for a purpose. Remember wat i told u before? When u died, every living things including animals, will hear the cry and sufferings of the dead in the grave. Only humans and jinns does not hear it. Animals cant think like humans. So why should they be "punished"? As i told u before, u are given the brain to think. So u will be judged accordingly come judgement day.
