The Cardinal Pact, would you sign it?

Well, let's say we're playing by Christian rules here.

I'm already going to hell for not believing in the whole thing anyways, and not accepting jesus etc you know how it goes.

So, the only question is whether or not this demon is going to just hand my soul over to the Satan-man (same result as if I hadn't signed my soul over) or if he's somehow going to do something worse than generic hell with it. THIS is where I would inquire upon dealing with said demon. If the demon was in fact in league with the Satan-man, I would probably be fine with signing over my soul upon death, assuming that said soul was only promised upon complete delivery of promised goods. What promised goods? Well it depends on what said devil has to offer!
 
It would be extremely stupid to sell something eternal for something fleeting. It's sort of like credit card debt. You buy the Cadillac but you're still paying it off even after you trade in the car for something else. It's a dumb deal. But I guess some people would still do it.

And this is speaking of the soul in broad philosophical terms, not necessarily religious.

Also, I doubt you could wish for immortality and crap. I mean then what would this person need with your soul then? Couldn't they just create some for themselves?
 
I love when self proclaimed atheist avengers say they'd sign it, and would either want to, or would. And no I'm not looking at anyone, here at least.
"I don't believe in God or gods, and I don't believe in the Devil or demons, so I'll summon one up - you know, one of the one's I don't believe in - and sell the soul I don't believe I own."

Are you an anarchist, that doesn't believe in aliens? If so, please sign this waver that we'll digitally send to outer space telling them they can come and probe ya, all it takes if for you to sign this legal document that authorizes your anal cavity to be used legally and law abidingly by said extra terrestrials.

And for the record, some days I'd sign it and others I wouldn't. The days I would, it would be because I simply felt like dreaming for more in the immediates, and the days I don't would be for the simple reason I don't give a damn.

When I would reply yes to that question, it is more or less from the point of view of "A man/woman offers x for my soul." If that is the case then you're fucking right I would do it, because I would only be conning them out of whatever they wanted since as you said I don't believe in it anyways. It would be a completely different story if a demon somehow magically teleported in front of me, thus causing me to review my beliefs to begin with.
 
You could just sign it with your left hand (if you are right handed, or your right hand if you are left handed) which according to TV makes the contract void. So you keep your "soul" to use for other purchases. Although like Rexx said, if there actually all of a sudden shined a shiny demon, in the middle of the road, you probably would start to wonder if maybe the soul does exist and you should have listened to Tenacious D Jebus all along.
 
someone try it and see what happens!

Recite the following prayer:


Lord Satan, by your grace, grant me, I pray thee the power to conceive in my mind and to execute that which I desire to do, the end which I would attain by thy help, O Mighty Satan, the one True God who livest and reignest forever and ever. I entreat thee to inspire__________(name of Demon) to manifest before me that he/she may give me true and faithful answer, so that I may accomplish my desired end, provided that it is proper to his/her office. This I respectfully and humbly ask in Your Name, Lord Satan, may you deem me worthy, Father.

The Demon can manifest in different ways.

* Through a mirror as in"scrying." You will see the Demon in the mirror.

* Through the smoke of the incense
* The Demon appears directly, when one is sensitive enough and in a deep meditative state.

Here's a good one:
Would you not still go to heaven if you sold you're soul for an ultimate good, like saving a life, or helping hundreds of people?

If so, I would sell mine right now for $10 Billion...for my plan for world peace to definitely work.
 
Eh, I change my mind. I'd sign it anyway. Better to live large and die happy and spend eternity dancing with molten demons than live poor and die lonely and live eternally with a bunch of hoity-toity angels who love the smell of their own farts. I bet they all drive those SMARTcars up there. Pretentious ninnies.
