Would you Sell You Soul to the Devil? And for What?

ClovenHoof

Considering that god isn't delivering for most of the people in this world, is the idea of selling your soul to devil really a terrible option?

Honestly, if would not take much for me. Maybe 10K.

BTW, despite my log in name I am not the one with the wad of cash if anyone is looking for a quick deal.

Is there somewhere you can go to do this? Kinda like GameStop, or CEX? I'd take a trip down anyway, see what it's worth. My car needs 4 new tyres, probably do it for that.

I don't know - I don't like the idea of cheating anyone by selling them something that I don't own.

Nevermind something that doesn't exist in the first place.

So you're saying technically, you could sell your soul to the devil, take the spoils and then get one of these exorcists to get your soul back?

I'm feeling sympathy for the devil - he can't catch a break, can he?

Like Faust id exchange my soul for worldly pleasures and unlimited knowledge

There's nothing identifiable as a soul and no entity identifiable as the Devil, but if someone is crazy enough to pay me good hard money for a soul as commonly defined, that he believes I have and I don't believe I have, I am more than willing to give him clear title.

I wonder if you could sell your soul for infinite souls. Then you could just sell some of those souls for stuff you want, while always retaining one.

Assuming that the devil for the point of argument appears to me and I'm suddenly confronted with him existing and all that implies...probably not. I'd be too damn weirded out at the devil existing to play silly buggers with my soul which apparently also now exists.

I don't need to sell my soul

It doesn't work like that. I already tried it after a found a strange antique lamp in the attic. (More wishes is against the small print in the ts&cs you must accept beforehand. Sorry.

There's only one reason to sell your soul to the devil and that's to play some mean blues guitar.

My father always said the devil has most souls so it wouldn't be a case of selling it at all...keeping it is the hard part as most of us have given it away long ago unwittingly... that's if you believe in all that of course.

Another of my father's musings on the subject...there's a highway to hell but only a stairway to heaven. Eternity is a long time to be sitting on clouds with do-gooder types playing the harp and singing Kombayah my Lord*shudders* when you could be partying all night, eternally young with other fun types.

Of course he'd probably get an ass roasting but he thinks he's going to Tir na Nog anyway so I leave him be!

Exactly. Free heat and 24hr BBQ too

My mom came from a family of eight. Five have died of cancer (including my mom at age 47). My dad came from a family of 5. 3 were diagnosed with alzheimers(including my dad). I'd sell my soul to never experience either.

Come on, we all saw the Simpsons and it was Protestant heaven that was boring while Catholic heaven was fun.

If the Devil only takes away the bad people, doesn't that make him the good guy?

I would but I already traded my soul out for a bag of Buffalo-flavoured Hunky Dorys.

Pretty sure the pack was gone off, too.

Story Bud?

I would sell my whole family's souls for these sunglasses. I want them so much.

So yeh, €500 and you can take anything you want.

The devil could be more craic than God...

I mean God is fine an all that, but all them rules and all that goodness would grind on you after a few thousand years....

Just make sure you listen carefully - you don't want to find yourself in the situation where you've taken the money and are now arguing that you didn't intend to sell your hole. That's not a mistake you repeat:mad:

Yeah. I'd sell my soul to feel nirvana for eternity.
