Indeed.  But nevertheless, Christians should be reasonably expected to believe that there are spirts in their bodies, or more accurately, immortal souls, and such souls are inspirated into their bodies upon successful birth, and that those souls depart their bodies via the last breath.

Just like it says in the Bible.

Beliefs contrary to that that are held by Christians would be evidence those persons are apostates or heretics.

Interestingly enough, the immortal soul is mentioned nowhere in the Bible. All that comes from Plato. A literal reading of the Bible suggests a  hylomorphic soul. Hylomorphism has been described as a "polite form of materialism." LOL... all these Christians are supposed to be materialists and they just don't know it!  Big Grin
