Iโ€™m starting a poll for what you would sell your soul for. Now for you religious fanatics I already know your answer.๐Ÿ˜› If you want to talk about how itโ€™s wrong feel free but be carefull or we might have to take this to the PIT. And anyways this is supposed to be fun. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ So how much is your soul worth??? What would you give it up for right now??? Is there away to make it a win win situation??? I think there is. I would sell my soul to the All mighty Evil for immortality. Why do you need a soul if youโ€™re going to live forever? I would pretty much be asking to be made a vampire of sorts. I think I could be satisfied by that. So how bout you??? Money/Power/Love/cheeseburger :dubious: ---

A donut. A night of mind-blowing sex with a playboy playmate. Power would definately do it for me - in fact, I think that like Hellspawn, I might be able to turn that to my advantage. Something like, I sell my soul to the Devil in exchange for the charisma, intelligence, military skills, etc. Iโ€™d need to forge a new, terrible empire from whose clutches no man, woman, or child could escape, and then when Satan takes my soul, He assumes leadership of my empire and I serve as his unholy Prime Minister. That might be fun. But thereโ€™d still have to be a donut involved. Probably multiple donuts. The Playmate is optional. Donuts are all. ---

Now that thatโ€™s established - Hellspawn, is it possible that we might be able to work out a way to make this less hypothetical? Something about your name suggests this might be more than idle interest. ๐Ÿ™‚ BTW, I like boston creme donuts best. Fresh ones. Asia Carerra is quite impressive. And Iโ€™ve always thought that Canada should have the chance to be a world power. ๐Ÿ™‚ ---

Dirty Devil Design the Hellspawn just fits It will be my animation studio some day. So thatโ€™s what the DdD is. And yes I have always had a hypethetical interest in this. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ So just a donut for you??? LMAO I think that can be arranged ๐Ÿ˜‰ Whoโ€™s Asia Carerra??? ---

Iโ€™d sell my soul to the Devil if heโ€™d agree to shock you with a cattle prod each and every time you used too many question marks or excessive smileys, **Hellspawn**. ---

**Casey1505** , if I offered you five bucks, youโ€™d be willing to enter into a contract that I own your soul? ---

Of course, Iโ€™m also thinking about Bart & his deal with Milhouse. I suppose there would be no way to actually test the validity of the contract. After all, there would be nothing to sue _for_. Presuming that the purchaser believes in a soul and believes that it can be purchased (and also that the deal cannot be recanted by your choice alone), then the contract would indeed be binding if the purchaser believed it was. _Legally_ binding would be another matter entirely. ---

Not for sale. Temporary short-term gains in exchange for permanent non-restoreable losses? No, I donโ€™t think so. Itโ€™s a poor bargain. Not for sale. ---

Just for fun, I have toyed with this. If we assume imortality is out, as is unlimited power or the ability to escape having to pay up, and assuming Liz Hurley gives me seven wishes for one soul.
