Sell your soul to the devil

Great Debates
1

No, not our beloved Brian aka Satan. Why would anyone really want to do something like this. Is your soul actually capable of being subletted to any other form? Personally, I don’t believe it…now. In my younger and crazier days I thought it was capable.

If anyone has had experiences with “selling their soul” I would love to hear them. If there is interest I will tell another personal story about said topic.

This call for empirical testing. I tell you what, Sqrlcub, I’ll sell you my soul for 100 bucks. Do with it what you will. In a year, we’ll talk again and see if the exchange changed my life at all. Or yours, for that matter.

This should be a risk free oppurtunity for the athiest. what have they got to lose?

Sqlcub, don’t listen to Lucky. My soul is only $99.99, and it’s never been used. :slight_smile:

And metroshane, actually I do believe an atheist can “sell their soul to the devil.” By that, I mean abandoning principles you hold dear for a temporary, mercenary advantage.

I always thought the expression should be “trading your soul to the Devil” since the Devil rarely pays you money for your soul. Usually you just get a special gift, which might be very valuable, but is hardly legal tender for all debts…

Any similarity in the above text to an English word or phrase is purely coincidental.

Anyone willing to sell me their soul for five bucks like Bart did to Milhouse? Send me an email at paganbearcub@hotmail.com with the requisite information and I will buy 1 soul. :slight_smile: Could be a free five bucks for one lucky person.

BTW, The bargain price of around $100 sounds like it would be much to pure for me. :wink:

No no no. The $100 ones are the mucked up ones. If you want a pure soul, it’s gonna cost you big bucks.

“Jesus saves souls! And redeems them for valuable cash prizes.”

Actually, the whole “selling your soul” bit is pretty contradictory to established Christian theology. I wonder how the idea got started?

12

Maybe it started with the tradition of the Irish “sin eaters”?–know what I’m talking about?

Selling souls to Satan happens all the time.

I offer as proof last year’s win by Altanta over Minnesota in the playoffs.

(Ok, ok, this is Great Debates. I won’t crack wise anymore.)

Except for this: If Navy wins, Annapolis is going to need one huge exorcism.

OK! OK! I’m leaving now!

Two for the price of one sale!
Buy my soul for $59.95 and I will throw in my aura at no extra cost to you!

I don’t remember the title, but I think I heard that a long time ago, someone wrote a book about someone who sells his soul to the devil.

Falcon hit me! Right here. :::pointing:::

Anyway, I just checked Ebay. Nothing in the way of souls.

18

What gives any of you the impression I even WANT your souls?

:smiley:

Yer pal,

Satan, don’t be such a twit.* You’ve got to take the souls that come your way, whether you want them or not. So if we don’t go to heaven, you’re stuck with us.

tracer, great T-shirt. I’ll trade you a “Jesus died for my sins, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt” for it, if you’ve got one…
