Can You Sell Your Soul To Satan?

Tweet

There have been movies filmed about it, stories written and even groups of people who claim to be spiritual guides that can facilitate the sale of your soul. But why would someone want to give up an eternity of peace for a few years of power or pleasure? Just as you might suspect, nothing is what it seems when you are dealing with the occult. If you sell your soul for eternal youth you might just wake up with a ten year old body or if you wish for eternal life you could end up in jail 'for life'. No one ever said it had to be a legit offer. There could be tons of strings attached just waiting for someone to step into the trap. Your soul, if you believe in that path of thinking, is yours. When Dr. Duncan MacDougall started doing the first hands-on human experiments with weighing the body before a person died and at the exactly moment that they are pronounced deceased. He came to the conclusion that the human soul weighs 21 grams. How much is that in 'real world' measurements? It's 21 packets of artificial sweetener or a quarter of an ounce. Tests and experiments done on animals had too many variables to consider the results to be accurate enough to be included with the case results. More than likely the decrease in weight from the corpse is from an automatic release of urine, feces, gas and other fluids. This was the same time period where ocular lobotomies were considered “the cure” for everything from a high sex drive to repeating words over and over. Mostly they were to calm children, make wives more obedient and curb a high sex drive in men. Sadly, a lot of people that weren't clinically insane ended up in sanitariums / sanatoriums when their family couldn't handle them or simply didn't want to be burdened. Selling your soul to the Devil does require some prep work; anything that you sign or agree to is a binding contract. If you've ever owed a bookie money from losing a bet and hated the experience – imagine what it will be like if Mephistopheles swings by in the middle of the night to help facilitate your death so he can claim what is his. It goes without saying that any bloodletting, spells or incantations that occurs during the negotiations need to be taken seriously – they could be a trick or loophole placed there to steal your soul well in advance of when it was anticipated. So, how much do you think YOUR soul is worth? Image: haaretz.com
