I told Satan I would sell my soul for 5 Billion US$ and a guaranteed lifespan of 99 years. After my 99 years are up, he gets my soul for all eternity. :)

Satan said I could get 500$ Armenian, cash down, and a guarantee that the dentist won't mess up my root canal operation.

"But, but, but, 500$ Armenian is just 50 cents!!!" I said. :mad:!!!

"Yeah, I know" said he, "the thing is, I seen your resume, and I figure your soul is going to come to me anyway, so why overpay for it."

:(

funny joke

I´m just telling you, don´t even joke about it.

If there was a devil, he/she/it would be so ignorant as to take my offer!, I would offer my soul only under one condition. The devil can take my soul if I were to become immortal!!. LOL!!:eek: :D

Hence the fool would never get my soul! I would be immortal.;)

Satan doesn't need to take the soul out of your body to have it.

You will be immortal and you will live your entire life doing his every whim. I'm sure he'll have plenty of fun with his new puppet.

Ben

A puppet as well Kalvinbrainless!!:D

For you defend god & what ever god may be, you are it's puppet!.

My my, aren't you a clever one.

Ben

:bugeye: I like this new smilie!

Godless, you are immortal already, so why invite negative forces to take control of your life?
Well, if your´re bored maybe...but I´m telling you, it´s better to be bored.

:bugeye:

Here's one for ya Bebelina:

If there were such a thing as a soul, I'd give it, tax free, no questions asked to the big red guy. That way, I'd be sure to go to hell, where all the cool people are ;)

In heaven, I'd have to spend eternity avoiding idiots like jesussaves, kalvinb, tony1, etc.

I would sell my soul for the amelioration of the ignorance in the world.

Bear in mind the fact that I am British, and about as anal as you can get as a consequence.

I don't want to be a martyr, I just realise that in retrospect, if ignorance was eradicated, my life would have been much better.

I don't wish to whine, I just see this prospect as an alternative.

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
or the one".

Don't get me wrong, there is a part of me that says 'No, the Devil's not worth it'.
My sense of empathy tells me that the end result is.
I don't like the prospect of hell after death, yet if I could spare the world from ignorance, would freely go there.
If I could spare others hell during life, then job done.

No, thank you, not in any way.

I highly recommend 'And The Gods Made Love', by Jimi Hendrix. (track 1 of Electric Ladyland) They make the Earth and Sky tremble...;)

From what evidence arrives the assumption of a soul? What an interesting lie. Well how can there be an afterlife if everything that is us ends? Well there must be a soul to explain this disccrephency. But where is it? Well it's invisible! How can that be, nothing invisable exists? Hey, look at that....

Show me proof and I will consider it.

Air is invisible and that exist, wouldn't you say?

Compared to the soul, air is as gross as house bricks.

The idea of soul, like a lotta other religious nonsense, was imagined in the brain, then promoted to supply a reason for human existence, whereas none exists. Peace and enjoy this soul-less day, Jan 9.

You appear very knowledgable and opinionated, what then, is the reality.

Peace.

The question is asked, What then is the reality? and if question is in reference to soul, god, afterlife, unicorns, etc., the same answer applies: None of them has existed or can exist. We're merely hairless apes (some of us more hairless than others) with evolving brainpower, but without purpose. Unable or unwilling to accept being a random blip on the large screen, we invent all kinds of balderdash to explain our presence on this insignificant pebble in space... Religion, I think, is the biggest scam in history. Not everyone agrees with me, but that's okay. 'Night, all.

That's so true. God, aliens, anything to sooth that need for company, a reason to live. Always we come back to the final conclusion, life is the reason to live. I think people are at odds with the connections between their emotional core and rational thought. The emotional center terribly affraid of life and death, their implications. The rational mind invents a dellusion sufficient to ease the pain of loneliness.

We are a product of our capacity to think. Our fears drive us to a madness capable of making an otherwise logical being into a lunatic.

Religion - the greatest story ever sold.

Atheism - the dumbest story ever bought.

JUDGE NOT OTHERS LEST YE BE JUDGED !

Some people prefer to keep their higher power internal and safe.
I can't speak for other people, I just feel that if one opinion is rammed down my throat I find it difficult to give my own. Are you afraid of this ?:(

Opinions are always welcome, that's what it's all about. As for those who ram them down your throat, do you have anyone specific in mind?

Rational, well considered, adult, impersonal and thoughtful opinions are the driving force of the forums.
Making sweeping generalisations without giving reasoning or declaring a specific group of people to be, shall we say, intellectually deficient though is the sort of thing that precedes a war!

John Como
Where is the need to specify?
Where is the time when having any singular argument, delivered daily without pause or apparent knowledge of consequence ever been welcome in human evolution.
The "do as I say and not as I do" brigade have had their day.

I welcome all opinion and thought that gives room and respect to my own
How about you?

Sorry do I seem angry

Oh Dear what shall I do? This Tony wanna be doesn't like me. I do hope he doesn't add me to his "ignore list" :eek: what would I ever do???

-JS

I would sell my soul for candy.

I simply don't understand what or whom BBCBoy is in a huff over. He says he has trouble expressing opinion when others are rammed down his throat, and I wondered whether he was referring to me or someone else on this thread. He answers question with questions, Where is the need to specify? and Do I seem angry?

Obviously, I'm missing something here. Would someone on this thread please explain?

What are you doing here then?

So where are the reasons for your sweeping generalisations, like your first statement?

Quote Tony1:"Atheism - the dumbest story ever bought."

Christian were called atheists too, but your too ignorant to know that!.

Every Christian had to be an atheist first.
That's when we were fools, and God had to forgive us.

You amaze me, here acting so omniscient, and you didn't even know this one.

Christians were called atheist cause they didn't believe in the Gods of Pharoh! nor the Gods of Romans!!.

A-Theist, someone without god(s).
John Como, I'm not sure, only bbcboy can say for certain, but I think he was replying to tony1.

No huff
Worry not and certainly don't take it personally until you're sure.

Tony 1 can and all other avid people of faith can spend eternity on their knees praising whichever god they choose.
Where I have an issue is when such individuals spend so much time telling everyone else they're wrong and should act in a specific way or praise a specific god.

What I meant by my comment was, I accept all people of faith. I believe that they believe and I respect the fact that they do.
What I want in return is the same respect that I don't! Not so much to ask is it?

I meant no offence
My apologies:)

No offence taken. I'm so used to being under attack from Christian blockheads that I misinterpreted your message.

Unlike you, I don't respect people of faith. On the contrary, my automatic reaction is one of distaste. Nor do I expect respect from them. My only expectation is not to be bombarded by verbal and written fairytales of faith.

Incidentally, I once worked on the BBC's Foreign desk in London and was wondering whether you're an office boy of the Corporation, or your name originates elsewhere?

If I may,

I am in possession of the information that bbc boy's name originates from the fact that he's soon to be featured in a 'bbc choice' documentary.

JOHN COMO,

:) Friends again...Yippee :)

I agree with what you said entirely, except maybe the people of faith bit, without them we would have no way of seeing how well of we are.

As to the bbc bit, I've just been the subject of a 'fly on the wall documentary' at work and am still on the fluffy cloud of my fifteen minute of fame.

Signed photos on request :D (Just kidding)
Also I have to come clean about the 'boy' bit in mid 30's and have people to make MY tea, still we never grow up do we.

Blessings to you and your family
(From me not God)

ESP!!!!!!!!!
That's twice you've answered a question for me I'm gonna start biting off noses when I get home young man!"
:mad:

Am interested in more details about documentary, unless you want ESP to speak on your behalf. Has the documentary already been shown, what is the subject matter, and did your involvement result in riches and fame?

My tale starts ten years ago when I got a job as a nurse in an STD clinic
A bit lke Jerry springer and yes there have been times when I picked up my jaw from the floor when I heard what people will do to get off
(I feel a new thread coming on!)
Any way one day the BBC show up with cameras and clip mics and say just do your thing and ignore us. No problem, until I start doing my thing.
Next minute they're in my home watching us eat and out in the city at a poetry evening (Another big hobby) watching me emote.

The producer seemed to like me and so the first episode of the series is solely about me.
It will air somtime in march when the Hollywood offers will no doubt come flooding in (I can piss tears so Gwyneth better watch her ass!) It was fun but I see no real future in it. I don't think I can pretend to smile enough for a long term thing.

As for fame I have enough of that in my own small circle so who needs more?

The fortune sounds very exciting but I've had rich before too, there's not much to it!

Lots of tiny details but you may not find those so interesting and waiting for the right shot is VERY dull
Not much glamour... honest

Short, but oh so true.

Religion is the best STORY ever sold. And man, did they make money on that one. Billions and billions of dollars, pounds, french francs, swiss francs, guilders, peseta's, escudo's and so on, all over the world.:(

Don't forget the t.v. preachers (laughing at all the sheep who send them teir money):'Come together as one united television army, listening to the sound of the television preachers voice and the sound of his prayers...':rolleyes:

United??? Well, than I prefer to be un-united.;)

Bbcboy, tell me some more about your television carreer. Now I am real curious.:)

And I don't have to sell my 'soul', for it is unnessecarry. Everybody goes back to the Cosmos anyway...
