I don't mean to be a jerk about it, but I don't really like it. While the theories about Amon being spirits are popular, they are unlikely. There is nothing that has disproved that to date, but no evidence to suggest it either. The biggest problem I have with the theory is the ability to absorb bending. We know for a fact that Aang's energybending took Ozai's bending away, but did not steal it or absorb it. Actually, it doesn't literally take the bending away, but simply prohibits the innate ability of the bender (or soon to be former bender) to do so. There is nothing about energybending absorbing another's bending. There is only canon related to energybending ending the ability to bend.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about Amon resisting bloodbending. I posted a link to one of my theories about that in a response to the comment directly below this. Among other things, the theory shows that there are ways even non benders can counter bloodbending. So Amon can still be a human non bender and do this. He doesn't have to be this all powerful, inhuman thing.
