No.

Christians are commanded to love one another.

Liking one another is optional.

To keep with the Christian hierarchy of values, you must recognize that a human's life is worth more than a dog's but again, that doesn't compel you to like humans more.

I don't think so. I think just due to their nature dogs and other animals are far more likeable than the general human population. That said I value the life of any human over any animal.

Jesus never said you had to like anyone. He said you have to love them.

Loving dogs more than people would be a problem… liking them more is perfectly fine.

A good bitch is a good bitch. It doesn’t matter if it’s a dog or human.

Yes... people who cherish animals are ridiculous... pet owners will somehow make sense of giving a animal a comfortable home but not letting a relative or friend down on their luck stay with them

This is highly specific. I certainly like my dog more than most people.

I don't know about the Christianity of the thought but.....

Yeah, you never hear about dog's rights to abort their puppies.

Yeah, pretty much. I mean, Christ tells us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and our neighbor as ourselves. There’s something wrong with people who care more about the plight of an animal than a human being. There are some real wiring issues going on I’m afraid.

I’d going to have to phone a Haitian friend to ask what they prefer. Dogs or people. My guess is that it depends on the breed.

I like dogs more than I like strangers. There’s about ten people I like better than dogs

Christians should always tell the truth, so if you feel that way about dogs, wear it.

Having been around people, and owning dogs, I say this almost every day.

In general, people can control/change their circumstances if they choose to.

Liking dogs more than people doesn’t have to mean you don’t like people or don’t respect the lives of other people.

Not at all. Dogs are infinitely better beings than a lot of humans. There's no ulterior motives or hate, just unconditional love and joy.

Some would say believing in an all powerful invisible being in the sky who allows pain and suffering would be nutzo.

Dogs>>>>people

If you value a dog’s life over a human life, maybe you should reflect of your values.

I believe there was a recent question that was meant as a test, “if a dog and human were drowning and you could only save one, which would you save?” Me, it would be neither because I’m not a good swimmer.
