Selling Your Soul to the Devil

Post Reply New Topic

I was thinking about this the other night. What if the devil offered you three things in the world but you would have to sell your soul. Would you sell your soul?

I would probably do it with some amendments to the contract.

How can I appreciate any one thing at all if I'm magically zombified?

I would have the lawyers review the contract line by line

i don't understand the question. anyway i don't know about devil/satan/lucifer/gods i just wish i live and die without causing harm to anyone. it's difficult,though.

i also don't want 3 things or anything. even if i wanted them i wouloudlnt risk as long as immortality is not one of the three wishes. everything has as end. it's 2016 , the year 2092 for sure i will not be here.

whether there will be any sort of judgment or not. and even if it's just death and that's it. we only spend a few decades on earth. and of course i wouldn't want to be remembered as an evil person.

Can we opt for the secular middle ground of being reincarnated as Dante's lawyers?

It doesn't make sense to give something that lasts forever for a few decades of happiness.

There is also the constant dread of being fearful of the afterlife so really your life will still be bad.

There is a documentary on YouTube called 'sold their souls for rock n roll'
Musician's are known for taking drugs for a reason, they are miserable.

There's also a reason rock turned satanic
in the 80's many rock bands were openly satanic.

still.. you'll see it by the chains they're wearing!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deal_with_the_Devil

" Nevertheless, the bargain is considered a dangerous one, as the price of the Fiend's service is the wagerer's soul. The tale may have a moralizing end, with eternal damnation for the foolhardy venturer. Conversely, it may have a comic twist, in which a wily peasant outwits the devil "

So you're asking us what our "price" is?

I am someone who believes Satan exists in the way described in the Bible. I believe in literal Hell and eternal damnation. I also believe that's where I'm headed when I die anyway. I also believe that for roughly 99% of the worlds population past, present and future. If I could actually get something back in the deal why not?
