do you know anyone who's sold or given their soul to the devil?

[markhope]

I know of someone who has and it affected them psychologically quite badly. Have you or do you know of anyone who has?

 

[Rhea]

Do you mean THINKS they have sold? Someone who imagines that they had an actual discussion where they think they gave up any hope of redemption in order to get some Thing? I have met many religious people who think they have had conversations with the supernatural. And yeah, sometimes it really messes them up.

 

[skepticalbip]

I'm still waiting for the devil to show up and make an offer.

I know a guy that worked his way down a list, offering it for free.
"Hey, Asmodeus! Take my soul!"
"Hey, Baal, take my soul, if Asmodeus doesn't have it already!"
"Hey, Beelzebub..."
He was interrupted there for a twenty minute discussion of how you pronounce Beelzebub.

But he suffered no ill effects from his three hour challenge for anyone, named or implied, with the power and desire to take his soul, to take it and keep it.

Yes, they believed in at some point. I just wondered how common it was and whether anyone had any 'supernatural' experiences after they did this?

Maybe the first deity he offered it to, was a 'nicer' one?

I've never heard of anyone offering their soul to so many before!!

 

[Keith&Co.]

Um...yeah. Asmodeus is a king of demons mostly known from the deutero-canonical Book of Tobit, in which he is the primary antagonist. He was supposed by some Renaissance Christians to be the King of the Nine Hells. Asmodeus also is referred to as one of the seven princes of Hell. Asmodeus is the demon of lust and is therefore responsible for twisting people's sexual desires.

I've never heard of anyone offering their soul to so many before!!

Well, he was trying to make the point that as a REAL atheist, he didn't believe in any of the gods, demigods, demons, devils or other supernatural assholes of the various traditions.
And alcohol may have been involved.

The problem with selling your soul to the Devil is the the Devil has all the bargaining power. Anyone who wants to sell their soul is destined for hell anyway, and the Devil is a patient demon. In reality, the Devil rarely buys a soul. He prefers to wait.

This does not preclude the Terrestrial market. There is a thriving market in Earthbound souls. Many a BMW has been purchased with proceeds from a soulsale. This is a risky proposition for buyers, as a body could expire at any moment and the attached soul is freed to go to whoever has the everlasting use of it.

 

[NobleSavage]

What is the going rate for a soul? I'm willing to sell mine.

It sounds like you believe that selling a soul could be possible. I question the term 'patient demon' though, at least as far as is suggested in the bible because patience is meant to be one of the fruits of 'God's Holy Spirit'.

 

[markhope]

For those that believe selling or giving a soul away is possible, do you know how you can get it back??

When I sold my soul to the devil, I got a 2-for-1 coupon at the local Dairy Queen. I never say no to cheap ice cream.

For those who are wondering, no, I did not bring my wife along with me and give her one of the ice creams. I ate them both myself.

That doesn't mean that it's the only place to get patience from.
Satan is immortal with eternity to play with.
Outsmarting a mayfly by outliving it isn't that difficult to imagine.

Watch Bedazzled.
The Devil buys Brendan's soul, but God points out that you cannot sell your soul. It doesn't belong to you in the first place.
Just tell God you fucked up, he'll void your contract with Satan and foreclose on His soul that's currently in your body.

It's certainly possible. I've seen it done. This is not an endorsement of the practice.

If the Devil can quote scripture, he can certainly practice virtue when it suits his purposes.
Anyway, what's time to the Devil? He has eternity, so a few years, give or take don't mean anything to him.

You get extra hot coals for greed.

I don't care. I got two ice cream cones and only had to pay for one. That's like ... twice as much ice cream.

You got greed covered and you're obviously proud of it, so that's a twofer. We'll throw in gluttony and make it a hat trick.

Which God would that be? The Christian God - Yahweh or El Elyon (who may be Yahweh's father)? Or would it be Jesus direct? Or does it count if you go to Allah? Sorry if it sounds like I'm nitpicking - it's just having studied a little, it's so bloody confusing (!), and I would like to be able to say something definite and helpful to the person I know who did this.

I'm also very proud of the fact that I found a way to get extra ice cream.

There wasn't anyone there with three ice creams, though, otherwise I would have felt some wrath and envy towards him.

I choose to remain silent on how I showed lust towards the second ice cream.

Yeah, me. I have sold my soul to The Devil. It's awesome!
