Selling your soul: Would you?

[Biodeamon]

nope. why offer my soul when i have others? people sell their souls for such trivial things...

 

[Catfood220]

Popular fiction (mainly Reaper) tells us that selling your soul to the Devil always comes with a sting in the tail, the deal always comes weighted in the Devils favour and he will seek to claim your soul sooner rather than later.

So to answer the question, no, I wouldn't sell my soul, I like it too much and can't think of anything I would want desperately enough to justify it.

 

[Jackalb]

I probably would. Going from Supernatural I thought

Sam

was much more effective without their soul, the cost massively outweighs the benefits. Being practically emotionless and moral-less I would consider a blessing. Without all that other crap clogging your brain you could become a genius at certain fields. Something like Sherlock Holmes as a detective.

 

[Eddie the head]

I guess but you could likely get better ones at Payless or Walmart. The obvious joke.

 

[AngelBlackChaos]

Could one of my super powers be immortality?

In many stories about it, there is always a twist. so have immortality...in loneliness, constant pain, in fire, etc. The list could go on and on. Live forever, in a way you would want to die in.

Would I sell my soul?
YES!
Why? Because I'm ginger, I've got nothing to lose.

?You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.?

-C.S. Lewis

Having super powers doesn't count for much if your body is just a mindless vegetative husk.

 

[Akytalusia]

it's a silly concept. if you gave away your ability to breath, you'd just die in the next few minutes. unless you gave it up for the ability to survive without breathing...

 

[ElecLeo]

I wouldn't sell my soul for supernatural powers or life extention. I would gladly become a lifeless vegetative husk so a friend/relative would survive an otherwise unsurvivable situation. But, as I become more antisocial, I am more willing to extend my own life, rather than help others. I'm at a stand still at the moment. But I wouldn't sell something valuable. I would trade it for something useful, like the survival of a loved one, or world peace.

 

[God'sFist]

I would sell mine to get out of all definitions hell, I wouldn't be touched by anything bad down the road except non-existence which would make my soul not exist ether perfect plan.

 

[idarkphoenixi]

In a universe where the soul is actually real? Of course not, I'd have to be a complete idiot.

Unless I pull a Homer Simpson and just don't finish that last bite.

 

[mfeff]

Selling nothing for something? Sure why not... just take a look at Penny Arcade.

 

[Twilight_guy]

No. The devil is, well the devil, and chances are that if you sell your soul he's going to be the ultimate dick and wind up screwing you anyways. Faust can have his deal, I think its a bad move.

 

[Dr.Fantastic]

I would sell my soul for a monocle, tophat, and sweet ass suit that matches said monocle and tophat. I already have the equipment to take over the world crazy villian style, now I just need the look of one.

 

[Total LOLige]

Go on then. But only for:

Seven Days In The Sun

Spoiler

With

Jaime Murray

Spoiler

If Jaime Murray declines, I'd also accept Rock 'n Roll super stardom. Reporter: "How did you get so good?" Me: "I did a Robert Johnson"

 

[tthor]

overall, no. Best case scenario is I sell my soul and am essentially enslaved to them to do their bidding for all eternity. Worst case scenario is I sell my soul to a devil, and spend all eternity in hellfire.

However, if the reward is very great, I might be willing to sell my soul for a limited time. If the deal was for ownership of my soul for say 100 year, i would atleast consider it. but not eternity, eternity is too long.

 

[The_Lost_King]

Could one of my super powers be immortality? Cos if so, yes. I would sell the shit out of it. Actually, on my interpretation of Hell, I'd see it more as a drug and hooker bender than a place of punishment.

The Devil is all for that shit, you think he'd be rewarding you for your horribleness.

But, since we're talking classical Judeo-Christian Hell, ehhhhhhh, I don't know. Guess I'd have to know the full extent of my punishments to make a choice.

You obviously know nothing about the Devil. He used to be an Angel and he fell because he hates humans. He fell because a human birthed Jesus. He wouldn't give a second though about torturing a human, no matter what they did.
OT: Heeeeeeeelllllll NO!! I would rather go to be heaven and be happy in eternal life rather than have fun in mortal land then have an eternity of pain and suffering.

 

[FantomOmega]

NO, absolutely NOT! My soul is nonnegotiable!

The souls of others on the other hand...

Why want my soul, when you can have a hundred of them! Savvy?
