Soul

[Dr. Cynic]

(sold it to the "Devil" hypothetically)?

I've been thinking about this recently because I'm planning to write a short story relating to the subject. Any help would be great.

Uh, Andrew, as much as I admire a fellow writer, they've already made several short stories on the subject. The most famous being "The Devil and Daniel Webster"

Well Andrew, I've got an idea, feel free to use it if you like... You could take like say four different characters, and have them all sell their souls for different reasons, be it averice, lust, whatever... Then you could follow each character's moral struggle with what they had done, and possibly attempt to get out of it.

Well, that depends on how you look at it Andrew. I'm an agnostic, so it's kind of difficult territory for me. I always thought that if there was a soul, it would be a continuation of the self... Like the person, only immortal... That was just my take on it when I was a christian.
