Would you sell your soul?

Okay. As long as you stop personally attacking me, I'm fine.

Well, you'll be watched from now on (in my threads) to make sure you practice what you preach. Or not.
With that in mind this is my last word on the matter.

On Topic: for a variety of reasons, some of which i never would have thought of, seems almost no one would actually sell their soul.
Thanks for the input. This'll be useful for me down the road! 👆

I feel like on some level even those that claim they "know there is no such thing as a soul" still would not risk selling theirs in case they are wrong. Seems interesting and kinda underminds them being in the "know" imo.

That was my thinking too, now that all the regulars have weighed in.
I cant really blame them though, or get on a high horse. I wouldnt do it either! 😛

You should do one about adoring a statue and getting a testament from an old dying man who wants his image worshipped 😱

Looks like you have a handle on THAT one! 😉

I feel the same way about unicorns. No one would ever get rid of their unicorn. 😉

If you make up something of value, like a soul, don't be surprised when people who don't believe in it wouldn't want to get rid of it. That's human nature, not an indication that a magical soul exists.

You are not a moderator. If you threaten me, or personally attack me, I will report you.

I would since I'm 100% sure there is no such thing. 👆

Not saying it's an indication that it exists, just an indication that you are less than 100% sure in your beliefs. I'm not knocking you at all tho. If I thought there was even the slightest chance of unicorns being real I wouldn't sell mine either. 😉

I have a vivid imagination. I had a talk with a friend the other day about who was faster, superman or the flash. That doesn't mean that I am less then 100% sure they don't exist.

False equivalency. Besides Flash is faster.

I can imagine believing in a soul, because long ago I did. I have also seen a lot of movies and popular culture that showed how bad selling your soul is. So, even though I am 100% sure that souls do not exist, I would still not sell mine. That is a result of the effect of popular culture not doubt about my beliefs.

I still see it as a doubt. I can totally understand what you are saying but it just comes off a bit weak to me. As stated earlier, I personally would not have an issue with "parting" with something that doesn't exist. Especially if it benefits me in some way since my non existant item doesn't. So if I truly believed without a doubt there was no soul, than I wouldn't care about selling it off. Like a unicorn.

So the fact that you won't tells me you aren't 100%. I admit I could be very wrong in this but that's the way it seems to me.

Flash could cheat too. And would be more likely since Superman is much more of a 'boy scout". But either way Superman is the top dog!

There is also the point of selling nothing for something, which I find unethical.

Yes and on that point you have my full understanding and respect. Which is why I changed it you "giving" instead of "selling"

Hey Shaky, would you sell Karma? Idk if there is any legend or story about anything like that but say someone offered you money or service in exchange for some of your good Karma? Or bad Karma if you don't want to give up the good.

And if selling it is unethical, how about just giving it up? I would think you'd want as little bad Karma as possible right?

That's of course if you believe in two different types and not just one that builds and declines depending on your actions. Just throwing it out there.
