I am sure we have all heard of someone "selling their soul to the devil." If that is possible I am sure that we could almost all agree that one can promise their soul to good forces or Deities as well. Once a promise of soul ownership is made, whether it is sold to the devil, given to a Deity, or lost in a poker game, is it pretty much a done deal? I mean, is there any way to get it back? (No, I didn't do anything bad...I am just curious and figured this would make for a good discussion. I am running behind on my thread starting quota.)
This would come down to what a persons belief pattern was pertaining to Soul, Devil and Deity.
The extremist atheist would say, no such thing exist so you haven't really made a deal at all, just an empty promise.
The extremist theist would say, too late mate, done deal.
The agnostic would say, maybe done some damage, maybe not, could go one way or the other.
Ancient cultures (pagan beliefs) would say, the world is full of many spirits that some may call angels and demons, ghosts, incarnations, yin and yang, good wolf and bad wolf or any other derivation that abounds. Which spirit you let inside of you at any given stage is the spirit which will guide you. That no journey is over till either you reach the end or run out of time.
The rational and logical person would say, I cannot give you an answer at this time, just no evidence to draw a rational and logical conclusion from.
