Is there such a thing as selling your soul to the devil?

They are far more natural at selling their souls, thats why. To them, its easier than it is for most people because they probably never had "souls" to begin with. And your initial question... to "sell your soul" in my opinion means giving any part of you away by ignoring your gut feelings and emotions, to an entity that would USE you for profit or gain.

You would have to want money, fame, or fortune very much to even have the ability to give yourself away for a small percentage of profit that entity makes by using you.

or maybe we don't have souls and some people just get lucky... like the rapist who won the powerball while he was incarcerated ... shit just happens sometimes

the answer is depth of desire

not the devil

though the deepest rooted desire often leads to indiscretion

what makes a star a star?

luck?

no...

brains?

not necessarily...

desire most certainly

how bad do you want it kid?

enough to "sell your soul to the devil"?

:>

it's a hell of a ride

you know you want it ;)

There is also agreement and disagreement in the activities done by the entity that has literally purchased you because of your skills.

If you feel you agree with their practices, I think it isn't necessarily "selling" your soul or whatever, but more like cooperating.

Although when these practices are bad in nature, which cause unnecessary harm to others (Monsanto, RAND, Illuminati, etc) then that person would have to have the ABILITY to deal with what they are doing, because I believe personally everyone CAN if they really wanted to, to be GOOD people, and do good things.

Actors, famous people... those are petty, shallow people because they let this lack of self-control of desire, to actually envelope their souls into oblivion. Do they ever recover? I don't fucking know, and I don't think I care. Sure, I may enjoy their work... but the general idea I get when thinking about Hollywood or whatever, isn't necessarily all that great.

i'll sell my soul on here... name a price and we can begin negotiations

Yes, whether you are religious or a believer or not! It would better be described as leasing than selling, because most people can change their ways.

Good examples are excessive pornography, especially participating! Swinging, thievery, and any form of large scale dishonesty, including "following orders".

Once you have compromised your soul, you need to have some kind of redemption, to regain it!

Those at the top my friend dont have a soul to sell

Brilliant!

I always used to doubt religions as a way of limiting the achievements of a civilization for the benefit of the rules. While some in charge still do this, I see the actual intended purpose of religion now.

While religion may seem backwards and limiting, even to me, it is totally necessary. Without limitations and moral boundaries, the ignorant humanity would just eat the entire contents of the cookie jar.

Nah, it's not authoritarian control (limitations, boundaries, rules).

It's self control. It's discipline.

If you are aware of the difference between good, and bad... you can gain the self control necessary to not go beyond the good in general.

To kill another being on this planet seems like a common practice, but IMHO it is not. The spotlight will always be on the ones who crossed from having the ability to live a peaceful and good natured life, to a life of corruption, crime, or whatever.

If outside control is necessary; such as a religion.. which is what I view it as.. then the people who fall into THAT trap have also lost self control.

Drink water, embrace Earth.

The devil is your shadow self. some people can't reasonably process shadow material and bring their unresolved shadow material into existence. Like murderers, e.t.c. All boils down to hate, greed, and fear. just let it go.

We all sold our souls long ago. What do you think needs saving?

how bad do you want it kid?
