12/ Of the lawyers who did read it, most of them seemed to be amused by the whole thing and seemed unsure at best as to whether it would hold up given my very careful provisions about choice of jurisdiction.

13/ The enforceability of it is kind of a silly concept to argue about anyway since the contract covers courts you have no possible way of knowing about and really comes down to how you feel about the transferability of souls, which is arguably even sillier to argue about.

14/ The number of extremely different VERY bold claims that were made to me today about the nature of souls and the nature of good and evil was amusing, considering none of you can speak authoritatively on these matters. I'm content to let God sort this one out.

15/ That said, I suppose MY beliefs are kind of important to the discussion here because they'll probably shape how YOU feel about what's happened. My metaphysical beliefs are, as I've always maintained, very loose, open, and based in curiosity rather than conviction.

16/ I do believe in some kind of extra-material soul-like essence analogous to what's being brokered by the contract, but I have very little concrete to say on the purpose or boundaries of it. I have no idea if its purpose is to be judged or recycled or what. I'm okay with that.

17/ If I didn't believe in souls, I'd have no business being on the buying side of this contract. It would be entered into on bad faith. As for my beliefs, hopefully the Christians out there are slightly relieved to hear that it's heavily Christianity-flavored.

18/ This seems unfortunate for the one Satanist who sold me his soul (or perhaps fortunate depending on your POV), but on the whole I feel like these souls are probably better sitting in my care than in the care of the people who sold them to me. Probably. Maybe.

19/ I'd be lying if I said it didn't make the the tiniest bit nervous to be hanging onto these souls anyway, but I'm trusting in my non-harm loving-kindness intentions to do a lot of the heavy karmic lifting here. Your souls are (probably) safe with me as the steward.

20/ But the Steward (or Stewardess) of what, exactly? Well, once again. This depends on your POV. If you think souls don't exist, I still bought the right to CLAIM I own their souls, which is tangible and material in the physical realm and has real-world value.

21/ If you think souls exist but they're non-transferable, then you're probably not too concerned about any of this (I hope). At best, I'm guilty of a little irreverence maybe, and as the scale of sins go playful irreverence can't rank very high on the bad things list.

it occurs to me that a major difference between us is that while I would pull a similar stunt I would never write a thread justifying or explaining it afterward :D
