Would 'I' sell my soul to the devil? (let's have a bit of fun here, for exploration of thought is a healthy exercise)
Would I sell my soul to the devil?
My answer of that changes with time, long ago, when life felt more full, when still had more life in front of me than behind me, I'd of said 'no'....but now, now, with less life in front, less hope, an empty hollow future with seemingly no friends or family, my answer would might be 'yes'.
I mean would I trade what few years of health I have left for some prosperity and vitality?...I'd might say yes now.
Get that from God?, one might say...
Are you kidding me, I've been 'good' my whole life, use to go to church regulalry and all, and you'd think I were being punished for it.
And I've only seen Religion turn those around me into self righteous demons, who abandon you in your time of emotional need, yet swear up and down they worship the real god...BS, they worship their own flesh and desires and simply call that god!
They simply shrink 'god' down to their own puny size and biases.
And when under this 'spell' they'll never admit they're wrong, and then guilt beats them over the head and makes them avoid you.
So I don't want to hear about turning to god....
One guy on the radio the other day suggested, well I don't want to repeat it.
But just saying, I see self getting older, body getting more tired, yet prosperity nowhere in sight.
Getting by, yes, prosperity, no.
And getting by, just getting by as you get older is a recipy for homelessness at the first time of trouble or illness or injury ect.
So what if the Devil came along and said 'I'll give you 10 years of grand prosperity for your soul'
I'd might say yes now, especially since beginning to doubt in the whole afterlife thing.
The whole 'Jesus coming back' thing, you don't think Jesus would of come back by now if going to?
Hearing now that Christanity simply borrowed from other ancient religions of that time, like Hinduism and all.
Anyways, it isn't going to happen, my luck isn't that good, so I doubt 'the devil' would ever make such a deal with me, it would pain the devil to actually seem me enjoy life again for a while.
I think the devil is more happy to see 'me' slowly decline and to see my hope in the future slowly erode away, and no love, no this or that.
If the Devil is evil, I doubt the devil would ever want me to prosper even for 5 years, even if it meant my soul.
I figure the devil knows he's already got most peoples souls, so what's the point in making any deals to get that which he already has?
Anyways, that's just my take on it at the moment, could change tomorrow depending on mood.
