I'm bored and this is what popped into my head first.

Would you sell your soul for three wishes...absolutely anything you want (barring more wishes and your soul returned)?

And why/why not?

well, since I don't really believe in them (just sorta do), I wouldn't be missing anything important. then I'd make two wishes, and my last wish would be to have my soul back, just in case it would be missed.

Well sure I would.

1: I wish for my soul back
2: I wish for immortality
3: I wish for three more wishes.

Then I'd actually get to the fun ones, after ensuring that the whole soul selling couldn't come back at some awkward moment to foil my evil scheme.

Besides, it's not as if the person you're tricking doesn't deserve it...

edit: amended answer, new rules, blah blah.

1: Immortality.
2: Rulership of Earth - unquestioned, naturally.
3: a white three buttoned suit with matching Fedora.

If there's no such thing, then there's absolutely no reason not to sell it. It'd be like someone promising to fulfill my 3 wishes and only wanting my ESP abilities in return. I'd have no problems making the best of the stupidity of whoever the buyer is.

Well sure I would.

Oh, party pooper. Now I have to rephrase it. Immortality is an option though.

I wouldn't for three wishes... hence picking the 'make me an offer' option...

But I figure... Heaven doesn't sound like a place I'd want to be... might as well get some corporal gain for my soul while I still can.

Yeah, heaven is for Mormons, saints, and other types anyway. And besides, you could wish for immortality, so you can be around on earth as long as you like. But you'd probably be turned into a cruddy vampire or something.

By the way, my offer is 20 cents.

The William S Burroughs quote in my sig comes from a bit that starts:

"Any old soul is worth saving, at least to a priest. But not every soul is worth buying, so you can take the offer as a compliment."

You'd have to take it up with Ol' Bill...

not that I did, but still.....

I'd wish for my soul to have an absolutely fantastic time.
Then I'd wish for having complete power over all creation.
Lastly I'd wish for an icecream.

Ah, damn.

So doesn't anyone want to sell their soul to me?

Come-on...20 cents...that's 20 cents more than you had before...

No I won't sell my soul, I want my brain fully intact!-

Granted, except your soul...whoops, wrong thread. :D

But you'd be insane to miss out on a deal of a lifetime! So you're damned either way. Might as well take the cash.

Be careful. I'll remember all those slights when I'm God. ;)

Humph. I'll remember all of YOUR slights when i'm in a position to demolish all of your pretty churches. :p

Lets see for my soul? I'd take a jelly donut, a donut with sprinkles and what the hell, a sesame seed bagel with cream cheese.

No I would not sell my soul for three wishes, even if I could wish for anything in the world.
The reason I say no is because the wishes would only last a life time but the soul lasts forever. I will not get into the issue of religion here but there you have it, I say no.

I'll give you a mouldy cinnamon donut, a piece of bread with butter and sprinkles on top, and some birdseed on toast with shaving cream.

Jokes on you, I actually lost my soul in a craps game in the cafeteria in 7th grade.

Why would I sell my soul to my own brother... ! I mean err uh, I wouldn't sell my soul-I like the sound of heaven-then I can beat up Mormons all day...

I'd like to assure you that Satan is not my brother... because if he found out you knew he'd burn me...

oh hi brother! How's things?

GAAAAHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I concur. Even in this life alone, there's nothing I could want more than the essence of what I am.

I have nothing to contribute except that...
I find everything about this post funny as hell, especially your name.

My soul isn't mine to sell, it was purchased by Christ a long time ago. And everyone is immortal, it's just a question of where you'll spend eternity. :) Your choice too, isn't that cool?

Wow, that makes you my second-cousin once removed.

How come I didn't see you at the reunion? You know, the one we had on Mount Olympus?

Oh, you see, my father grounded me, because I had a wild party, and uh...on that night I created the platypus. :( He wasn't impressed.

You can be my first acolyte!

Yes, but for no less than a Klondike bar. Okay, half of one. But that's my final offer!

I don't know what a Klondike bar is, but you can have this chocolate bar I found under my sofa.

There is no such thing. If there was you would know there was from the very very very long line.

Ah yes I herd about that... Well you missed a lot... God got off with Catherine Parr! You know, that wife of Henry VIII. She don't like him now, and god kinda has a soft spot for her, so he let her attend the party. Well, they got a bit drunk and snogged.

I think I sold my soul the first day I started paying taxes...

Dad!!!! How dare he...cheating on mum like that... Instead of witnessing that, I had to hole myself up in my room playing with Greenspoint's soul.

Say, are you going to the next gathering at Stonehenge?

I think I sold my soul the first day I started paying taxes...

LOL :D

Whens that? 10,000 or 50,000 years? Or is it before the next apocalypse?

Actually, it's next Tuesday.

I've already sold my "soul" a few times, so sure why not?

Actually, it's next Tuesday.

AH... I'll be there if I can find effective transport... a cloud should do.

You can be my first acolyte!

Alas, I am a goddess, and seve no one. I will continue to admire and appreciate, however.

And it's possible I will occasionally throw confetti.

And maybe a steak.

Ooh, a goddess, how would you like to join my little harem in the clouds? You can sit next to Athena.

I don't know what a Klondike bar is, but you can have this chocolate bar I found under my sofa.
Sorry, that won't cut it.

Hmmm... a harem in the clouds. I don't know, I'm not very good at sharing.... and when I get irritated...
Well let's just say there's a reason they call me GinsuGoddess. I'm the Stabbity Deity. :D

Many thanks for the invitation though!

Well, you're welcome. If you ever change your mind, just let me know. I'm getting bored of that stupid lesbian Athena anyway.

Bah, i'm supposed to conjure up mythical things now? What's next, expect me to turn water into wine?

Aww I dig lesbians. I can have sex with them and never have to smite them for flirting with my boyfriend.

Well, being the goddess of war, she's not exactly the most delicate type out there. :(

Bisexual women are the most fun... Threesomes... corr....

Water into wine? Isn't that a standard chemical process over time? :p I wouldn't mind riding a unicorn though. ;)

Delicacy is for the dinner table. Give me hardcore anyday.

Wait, did that come out right?

I think it's high-time we joined forces and made a goddess of bisexuality.

Just make sure you don't get thrown from the saddle. When you are lying face first on the ground, they like to make full use of that horn. Owie.

well... if i thought i could i would... but having already sold it twice i am running out of people dumb enough around here to buy it for real money...

Delicacy is for the dinner table. Give me hardcore anyday.

Uh, kinda. I got an image into my head but I don't think it was intentional.

At one college this guy (apparently very smart) bought people's souls for 10 dollars. He collected souls, but lost money. Fortunately, this was a surprisingly good investment. The dozens of people who sold their souls (who originally thought it was a no-brainer way to squeeze some money out of this guy) cambe back and wanted their soul back. They became emotionally unstable and gradually were led to believe that either the guy had their souls, or they just neededthe satisfaction and completeness of having their sould back. The guy who bought them charged them double what he took them for, $20 dollars. I think I'll try it once.

It really does work. People get nervous about it even if you arent one to believe in souls. :)

Uh, kinda. I got an image into my head but I don't think it was intentional.

If it put an image in your head then my intention was realized. :cool:

Okay, how did a poll about souls turn into smut-chat? Why does this always happen to me? And why am I complaining? :confused:

*is quiet*

I guess the idea of eternal damnation creeps under even the most adament nonbeliever's skin eventually. What a scam to pull, though you have to wonder, will that guy go to Hell for messing with people about their souls? Or will he be rewarded for "teaching them a lesson"... ? *ponders*

I voted no. It's already on lease to PC World.

Cool idea. But instead of money, i'd ask for them to do impossible tasks. Like "I command thee to fetch a feather from a phoenix" or "I command thee to fetch me a tasty mcdonalds burger"

Oh, this happens with all of my parties. We godly folk are a crude bunch at best.

I already did sell my soul once, for 10%.

Maybe to Divid Letterman if he had something worthwhile...;):p

*puts on voice of Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday*

I already did.
Im yo' Huckleberry...

Sure. Everyone has a price for everything (though it certainly isn't exclusively a monetary one). Anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves.

Um...good question. Can I use my ask the audience lifeline?

Although it's not quite correct for what you mean, I suggest Hermaphrodite. it kinda works.

Come, I think hell's a fable.
Faustus in, erm, Dr Faustus, Christopher Marlowe*

Seriously, what is a soul? Other than that, I've got two as I brought a friends for a sock.


*There is good reason to believe that Marlowe only wrote half of Faustus, if that.

Hmm. Close.

Hot dog! We have a weiner!

My boyfriend sold his soul to his friend Grant for a jellybean. The buyer then gave it to a girl in NZ and lost track of her. This was a couple of years ago. Now Grant's got the soul back again and is giving it to my boyfriend on results day, who is going to eat the piece of paper.

From this evidence, I have deduced that being without a soul has no detrimental effects :D
But I'd want more than a jelly baby for mine ;)

of course i would sell my soul...i mean, when was the last time ive used it?

*looks at name* How about some of Jesus' finest *hint hint nudge nudge*
I could always go for some nice brownie mix...

I don't believe in a soul- but then again I don't believe in people being able to grant me wishes or do magical things like that... so if they were able to do that- and I was wrong on those lines, then I could be wrong about an immortal soul and I wouldn't want to take the chance in selling it.

Especially since you can't wish for it back. True immortality would suck- at least to me... to be stuck around during the end of the world... and maybe surviving it to drift in space until everything colapses back in on itself and starts again. That sounds like Hell to me.

No thanks, I'll with my soul- if there is one, and I'll stick to my one little life and hope I get it kinda right the first time around! :D

I believe in God and all that jazz but how can you possibly sell your soul?? It would be like selling the air in to your lungs. How the hell would you extract it? And if one were to come in to pocession of a soul what would you do with? Turn it in to some vodoo doll type of thing and stick pins in it for the crack???

Honestly selling your soul is like trying to sell your religon. Catholic Chruch anyone?? Special offer E66.6???

I could always go for some nice brownie mix...

Done and done. Your "Marinara Pizza" will be delivered shortly.

to whom would i be selling it 2?

to whom would i be selling it 2?

Let's just say me.

I would wish for immortality, rulership of the earth, and that really hot girl who keeps slapping me suddenly wants me for hot :fluffle:

Nice choices.

Hmm, let's see...

i'd sell my soul to be turned into some badass demon thing that can travel through time, and a nice turkey, salad and cheese baguette. Mmmh.

I've already sold my soul.

For a ham and cheese sandwich, back in 11th grade. I was pretty hungry that day.

1. an endless can of properly carbonated coke
2. Invincibility, and the ability to live until I got bored of life, cause id imagine still being alive after all of your friend died, and the sun engulfed the earth would suck ass, just sitting there, and such. also, being infinitely strong, fast, etc. all that jazz, If someone caught me, Id just be held prisoner until they all died, and that would be boring.
3. a few million bucks, and unrestricted(legal) access to weaponry, transportation, military personell, etc of all kinds. :sniper: let the fun begin.
