Oh rubbish ... the entire philosophy of Christianity is based on the concept that there are invisible indetectable souls which go to either heaven (a place of eternal bliss) or hell (a placed of eternal torture) depending on the actions taken during their earthly life. That, and you can try and wiggle out of it as much as you like, is STANDARD Christian doctrine ... it's at the heart of every Christian cults message, it is enshrined in the bible and it is, at root, a fear based concept.
