Atheist,If Satan offered you $2 million dollars for your soul,would you sell it to Him?

Question

The catch of course is when you die,you automatically go to the lake of fire.


So do you sell your soul to Satan for $2 million?Or NO?

Answer 1

I'm wondering how you came up with that number. Has someone made you an offer? Don't take it without doing a credit check first.

And "lake of fire?" Are you quoting Revelations or just a Nirvana fan?

You might do well to read what the Bible has to say about temptation.

Answer 2

First of all there is no such thing as a soul. Second there is no such thing as Satan.The word for "soul" in the Old Testament is nephesh. Nephesh is translated in following ways (the numbers being the number of occurrences of each way):

any 3
appetite 2
beast 2
body 4
breath 1
creature 9
dead 5
dead body 4
desire 4
fish 1
ghost 2
heart 15
hearty 1
herself 2
himself 8
life 117
lust 2
man 3
mind 15
mortally 1
myself 1
one 1
own 1
person 29
pleasure 3
soul 475
thing 2
themselves 3
thyself 1
will 4
would have it 1
yourselves 6

Some of these renderings may be confusing. For instance, how can the same word be translated "life," "body," and "dead body"?

The meaning of nephesh's root word is "to breathe." Since those who are breathing still have "life," one of the meanings for nephesh is "life." Since the "body" is what we use to breathe with, one of the meanings for nephesh is "body." Since a "dead body" is what once breathed, one of the meanings for nephesh is "dead body." Thus, all three renderings of nephesh, though apparently quite different, are derived from the same basic meaning of the root word.

In the New Testament the word for "soul" is psuche. Psuche is translated in the following ways:

heart 1
heartily (combined with ek) 1
life 40
make doubt (combined with airo) 1
mind 3
soul 58
you 1

The word for "spirit" in the Old Testament is either ruach or neshamah. Ruach is translated in the following ways:

air 1
anger 1
blast 4
breath 27
cool 1
courage 1
mind 6
quarters 1
side 6
Spirit or spirit 240
wind 94
vain 2

Neshamah is translated in the following ways:

blast 3
breath 17
inspiration 1
souls 1
spirit 2

The Greek word pnoe is used in the Septuagint (the Greek version of the Old Testament) for neshamah, but it is only used in the New Testament in Acts 2:2, where it is translated "wind," and in Acts 17:25, where it is translated "breath."

In the New Testament the word for "spirit" is pneuma. Pneuma is translated the following ways:

ghost 2
Ghost (with Holy) 90
life 1
spirit 151
Spirit 137
spiritual gift 1
spiritually 1
wind 1

Answer 3

No, of course not. If I actually was offered proof (in this case, in the form of an evil deity) of a spiritual realm, I wouldn't be an atheist anymore. But since I don't believe that there IS a devil, the question is irrelevant.

Why do Christians always seem to think that atheists are immoral Satan worshipers?

Answer 4

All that would happen is one would gain a nice chunk of cash for going somewhere that they did not believe existed and therefore would have gotten there with a lot less fun so there really would be no down side to this question from the true atheist point of view - they would only consider the man to be rich and mad but the money would spend the same!

Answer 5

The likelihood of selling my soul to Satan is about the same as you selling your soul to Bugs Bunny.

Atheists don't believe in YOUR God, YOUR hell, or YOUR Satan. Satan is part of the Christian pantheon of supernatual beings. Atheists do no believe in Satan.

Answer 6

As an atheist I don't believe in Satan, I don't believe in hell, I have no idea what a soul is. The question becomes irrelevant and an exercise in futility.

Answer 7

Well of course that is assuming that Satan exists. If it did so happen I would probably say no. 2 million dollers really isnt that much.

Answer 8

That's kind of a weird question. I don't believe in hell, but hypothetically if I did eternal suffering sure as hell wouldn't be worth 2 million dollars. But then again, if I'm already going there for being an atheist I may as well take the money. But if I knew for sure that Satan was real I would know that God was real and then I wouldn't be an atheist. So your question is a paradox

Answer 9

Satan, like God, does not exist. Nor do souls.

Would you sell your third arm to Santa Claus for $2 million with the catch being that you would be gored by unicorns after you die?

Answer 10

I am already hell-bound being an atheist and all. ;) But I would try to get more than a mere 2 million. Come on, I am worth more than that!
