What philosophical evidence is there against believing in non-physical entities?

RE: What philosophical evidence is there against believing in non-physical entities?
Hold your horses there sharpshooter.  One of the most pernicious and varied disagreements between sects is the issue of christology, and for a cult collective named "christianity"..... that would seem to be quite a disagreement.

Yall didn't start "agreeing" with each other until living memory, as a part of a political paradigm meant to stop the bleeding of authority. The various sectarian groups finally realized, after 300 years or so of infighting...that it was causing people to lose confidence in their ability to make normative proclamations at a broad social level, that it had a negative effect on their relevance, and perhaps more importantly..that it cost them members and thus resources. Better late than never, I guess.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
