You misunderstand my question, zen_tom. What is your basis for distinguishing what is Christian and what is not Christian? And what do you mean by 'ghosts, magic, and trickery'? I don't believe in any of those either, and yet I doubt we share the same idea of what is Christian. If you think this would be better in a new thread, please, throw one up. This is interesting.
