Would you sell your soul?
 

For a very well paying job?

For a well paying job? Jesus christ no. I'd do a lot of terrible and even sick things for money if given the opportunity, but to still have to ride in a metal coffin to a place I dread wearing a uniform fake I despise with hateful people wearing pretty masks inside otu desperately climbing scratching all over eatch other just to get a little leverage and do disgusting immoral backstabbing forming alliances sinister glances and and spend more than half of my waking life there surrounded by them???? Absolutely not. I'd have to be pretty desperate.

:melt

but what if it paid REALLY well.

what's REALLY well

it would be have to be a really really really well paid job, a job that involved being tested in the funmachine which made every second of the job unreasonably fun and amazing

AHA!!! YOU QUESTION IT NOW DON'T YOU?!!! :conspiracy

are you going to prostitute yourself :(

if a job pays well, it's good-paying. . .but didn't they cover the whole "selling your soul" thing in law school? :P

:)

Yes, they said define sell.

umm I already sold my soul for a tootsie pop when i was 9 :(

actually i was being a little sarcastic with my initial post... i already sell it bit by bit

No. Because well payed jobs usually require actual work :shudder

My friends and I had a similar discussion.

Given your faith in the afterlife, would you revoke your chance to live on (heaven or hell) in exchange for the skill to play the guitar better than any human being alive? This ability surely will bring you money, the opposite sex, and a rock n roll lifestyle.


So, if there isn't a heaven or hell, you just die, as you would have. If there is one, you cease to exist.

This probably belongs in philosophy. :/

I'm gonna eat your soul. >:

HAY TRIPPY, HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE CENTER OF MY AWARD WINNING COCK?

Mine is low Carb! ;)

Why would you sell your soul for a job? Just sell it for 10 billion dollars.

b/c you do the job THEN get the money.

but you'd still loose your soul. So why not just get the money and screw working.

I'd do it. But only if the job involved the taking of other people's souls and I got a 25% soul commision for each one. That way I could construct a giant ladder out of quarter-souls to climb my wealthy ass to purgatory.

I would make one to Heaven, but I'm sure I wouldn't work that hard.

:o
If selling your soul actually does something more than having your friends laugh at you while you're pronouncing magic words in your backyard with your stylish tinfoil hat, then doesn't it imply that heaven and hell exists?
So, if selling your soul actually works, then it means you just passed on heaven. Or however that works anyways :/

so no way. Not even if I get to host Conan O'Brien

Well, if I were offered the chance to sell my soul, it would pretty much clear up any confusion as to whether or not an afterlife exists.

So absolutely not.

I would sell my soul only for complete immortality. Lost limbs would also have to grow back and I couldn't get imprisoned in steel or somesuch stuff that I can't escape from.

Well, that or the guitar thing Drew mentioned.

no.

take a job that means something to you and that you enjoy. it's what you are going to do for pretty much the rest of your life. you don't want to be miserable at something you do for a living.

the money will come when you are satisfied with your work.

plus, money is EVIL.

Correction: it is the root of all evil.

YOU COULD SELL YOUR SOUL FOR 2 SOULS AND THEN USE THE EXTRA ONE FOR WHAT YOU WANTED. :eek

I thought I clearly explained this >:

The fact that you sell your "soul" doesn't affirm the existence of heaven. It merely means that you revoke your right to exist after death if there is an afterlife. If there is no heaven or hell, then you cease to exist as you would have anyway, but you get the ability to play sweet sweet licks.

I sold my soul in Grade 3 and it got thrown in the garbage when the teacher found out. :/

pst great guitarists no longer get the good life and by good life I mean sex drugs and rock n roll x forever and then do reunion tours every 6 months :( Look at Malmsteen or whomever you want who are considered the fastest and most technical. Just sitting there doing tutorial videos against a painted neoclassical backdrops and getting fat :fat

What you need is to sell your soul for the power to write the most emotionally charged songs, but safe. Then you've got it made and you get to have as much bespectacled emo preteen sex as you want YOU LOOK PRETTY EMO NOW, BITCH as well as money but xNODRUGSx gotta keep it clean >:

And to answer your question, I'd poke the guy in the eye and then say that it's a trick question there is no soul lol fuck you hah

you could sell your copy of soul calibur.

ah :P
Still. If there's a power strong enough to sell your soul to and grant your wishes etc. etc. then ya know. But I understand the "game" :/

So if the rules just are "well, there's a magic force to sell your soul to, but it doesn't guarantee afterlife" then I wouldn't sell it. Just because right now I don't believe in magic and so finding out it exists would make me way too suspicious.

but if I'm not suppose to take that into account, then sure. Why not. Might as well get something cool like... erm.. comicbook artist? That's a high-paying job, right? :'(

The buyer would have to show me my soul so I would know exactly what I was giving away then, and only after showing me the suitcase with non-sequential, unmarked $20's would I accept his offer if I considered it reasonable.

I will eat your soul, kellychaos.

It's got sprinkles on it. :)

Would you rather enjoy this life now or live in the hope that there's another life after this in which you'll live happily for the rest of eternity?

Pff.

Why do you need to sell your soul to be happy in this life?

I wouldn't seel my soul. I want to go to heaven. :(
