Lets for instance take the example of Kelemvor, the LN Forgotten Realms god of Death. His paladins are required to destroy those that use unnatural means to prolong their lifespans, and to help bring rest to those who have unnatural lifespans forced upon them. To a paladin of such a god, destroying a ghost is not a crime, but an act of mercy- it frees the soul from its forced bondage to speed it on its way to its proper place in the afterlife. After all, a ghost is a tortured being, stuck forever in a meaningless half life. Regardless of its alignment, a ghost is a spirit that cannot rest easy. Whatever the ghost does or whether lawful good or chaotic evil, putting a ghost to rest is a good thing. You have to question the morality of those who would keep a ghost around in such a state, rather than the paladin. I can't be sure exactly how your god who hates undead thinks, but it seems that in that situation he would be unlikely to strip him of his powers.</p></blockquote><p></p>
