   "literally"
   
   "proof"
   
   "soul"

   Spirits just hanging around on this plane would be contradictory to their belief that people either go to heaven or hell after they die.

   [SIZE=12px][FONT=georgia]The ones that believe that a cosmic jedi Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.[/FONT][/SIZE]

    I don't think orginal sin is a big deal with the protestants though.

    there is a long tradition of christian mysticism that believes all sorts of things that we would consider odd, but were actually couched in esoteric terms and may have been describing something allegorical and perhaps now lost to the ages. i.e. empty symbolic rituals with no connection to the original sacred intent.
    
    some modern day examples are the quakers, the shakers, and some of the gnostic christians.

    The problem with Christianity is that the Catholics made it popular by force.

    Rome was Pagan.
    
    Then the Christians had a revolution and it became Christian.
    
    Also, evil spirits exist for Christians, and those can be compared to ghosts.

    catholics are barely christian, IMO
    
    and I say that having been raised in an extended family that was exclusively catholic
    
    my immediate family aren't, just my extended family.
