hi Tymber, i am glad you added your thoughts here... your mom is smart to teach you about other religions/faiths and teach you that friendly togetherness accomplishes more than divisions.. as far as the slugs and insects are concerned i really dont know.. maybe if i was one i would really enjoy it ... unknowns cause us to respond with our true inner self .. ive learned that friendliness is usually the best approach to all... if there is something that i discover in the process to cause me a fear then i will examine it when needed... you matter.
