bugs-God's creatures too?

[wonder111]

this may sound strange, but on the teen thread there was a post about ants. many of the teens were saying they hated them and they always kill them. Some were saying they feel bad doing that. I have always had a guilty conscience after killing a bug, because I figure they are God's creatures too and usually people just think of them as non-important irritating life disturbers. But if you ever study an insect up close they are so incredibly designed, they must be worth something? lol! anyone agree?

isn't stepping on a bug on purpose like dis-respecting God's art?

I tend to agree. I wish my kids would get over their fear of bugs. I swear I've never shown fear of bugs in front of them, I've even picked some up and showed them how harmless they can be.

Thank God you feel the same way! People think I'm crazy because I don't like to kill bugs. I guess it's normal for kids to be scared, if I was face to face with a tarantula I could respect it as one of God's creatures, but I'd have to leave, fast!!

The creatures we have in our basement are dangerous. They bite. So we kill them if we can't get them outside. The ones we can shoo out, however, we do so.
I dislike killing bugs as well. The harmless ones, especially. We also have a problem with moths that fly in our house at night (mostly during the summer) and I often catch them and return them to nature

I dislike killing bugs. Most of them do have some purpose in this world. And considering how huge God is we must look like small insignificant ants to him yet he still cares about us.

I know this is an old thread, but I have to pull it back up because it is close to my heart. I keep tarantulas and I love them sooooo much. They are amazingly beautiful to me and I love to watch them go about their business. God did such a great job on so many different creatures on this earth. I just happen to be able to appreciate the invertebrates more than your average person.
