For those here who do AND dont believe in the hereafter...
$1,000,000.12, after taxes. In return you sign a piece of paper with the words MY SOUL written across the middle, and a line at the bottom for your signature.
Thats it.
No further obligation on your part at all.
No. My soul is much more valuable to me than any amount of money.

Eh, it'd be at least a bit suspicious. Why would I want that much money anyways? I guess you could use it to do good deeds and regain your soul like in a movie but why get the money if you are going to just do good with it?
Is this a supernatural entity asking for souls or just a dude?
I don't think I would sell my figurative soul for money. I get this is a rich man with the right to do whatever he wants with his cash, but I don't have to humor his idiocy and trolling.
Maybe I would sing a different tune if I actually needed the money, but I don't, so I get to refuse and make witty replies
Eh, who am I kidding, the chance of doing some witty replies is worth my life
The tacobell offer would be more honest form a money-thrown-away standpoint. But then you can get offended by how much meals they are willing to pay for your soul.
This is why the devil lets the people propose a price for their souls.
I don't think I would sell my figurative soul for money. I get this is a rich man with the right to do whatever he wants with his cash, but I don't have to humor his idiocy and trolling. how is this trolling? Idiotic, i can see, as he's spending a lot of money for "nothing". But how is it trolling? I really think i'm going to get a kick out of the answer.
Maybe I would sing a different tune if I actually needed the money, but I don't... really? Yeah i call BS on that but its not a major point, just you posturing.
Eh, who am I kidding, the chance of doing some witty replies is worth my life this one's way too easy...

Well, I don't see any reason to do something like giving money for figurative souls other than trolling. I guess you could be an entire moron of a fool, which would make me an abusive bastard if I actually took the money. In either case, no point in taking money I don't need.
You see, if the question was asked by a supernatural being at least these moral complications of jumping like a lapdog for a rich moron or abusing a crazy person wouldn't appear.
i would rationalize abusing the crazy person by telling myself that i will spend the money better than they would and not waste it on dumb shit like a piece of paper with some nonsense scribbled on it. probably wouldn't lose any sleep over it tbh.
Your reasoning isnt as funny as i'd hoped, but still nutty as squirrel poop.
Also, i never said the person was or wasnt supernatural. We have a lot of posters here who dont believe in the supernatural, and would bog the thread down with THAT instead of just answering the question.
By leaving it ambiguous i'm trying to get at something else altogether.
I guess that if the person in question was actually crazy you could actually help him better than he can help himself, so getting his money and using it to safely keep him from doing stupid would be the moral thing to do.
Me, I wouldn't want to waste my time with them, I'm not that much of a goody two-shoes.
I'm not really materialistic myself, I'm more of a pragmatist. Money is a hassle, and even if it's "free" it's never really free, you have to take care of it, invest it, putting on savings and feed a bunch of parasites that will distribute it for you. This is also why I think the Tacobell meal is more appealing as a whole. At this point in life I can't say I care much for having lot's of savings.
I can't say I've been broke. Here in France is pretty easy to live by the day without being miserable, I come from a low outcome family so I'm savvy and I've gone from being essentially homeless to a rather average income without much care.
It's an exceptional thing in it's own way and I can see that most people on the world would have a very different mindset than me on the subject. Which is totally justified if you ask me, it just happens to be pretty different than my personal experience.
so you're not wealthy? do you have any idea how much fun you can have with a million dollars? it's not about being materialistic. you could take a year off and travel the world. money can absolutely buy happiness son.
