It is odd.

If there is a Prince of Darkness, then there is a God.  Further, what is the Prince of Darkness offering as "salvation"?

Hi guys.

Basically, are you as atheists are willing to sign it up? Because most of the atheists do not believe in any sort of spirituality, this shouldn't be a problem then. It's an antithesis to Pascal's Wager. Because there is no afterlife, there is no harm in giving it away. So...

That's the same as asking me to sign something saying I believe in and follow God or Jesus or Zeus or Thor.  That would be a lie.

There wouldn't be anything lost by selling my soul to the devil because I'd be going to hell anyway...  if it existed and the Christian god happened to be real.

Oh, now I understand. A drive-by troll.

Well, that was time-wasting.

FYI, if you treat the people for your research film like this (asking a very odd question then not explaining why) you are going to get a skewed view of reality...perhaps that's the goal though :shrug:

For everyone else...the purpose of the question was to give the OP an idea of how people will respond when he gets around to actually interviewing them for some film he's making.  He stated very clearly that nothing here would be used for that film.

Since he wasn't up front in saying this I think it's only right to reveal that to everyone even though it was disclosed privately.

Oh, I see now. For a moment there I thought he was the devil interviewing people to get a feel for what people would sell their souls for. How disapointing that he's just some normal interviewer making a film! :mad:

I've talked to people claiming to be god online before, but never a devil...it would be an interesting being to add to my collection.
