The real question is why would you believe in the ability or willingness of this entity to fulfill their part of the contract? 99.999% it's just god trolling you like the whole Cain situation.

I always thought selling you soul was metaphorical and ironic like selling your soul for rock and roll means you passed up on everything else in life to hone your music and partying skills so those become the only thing you're good at.

I wish that everyone who’s ever been a smart mouthed prick to me or tested me on anything gets gassed to death by literal nazis, the exact poo poo they’ve been wishing on me. Should be an even exchange, shouldn’t need a contract with a devil.

Like, as an adult, don’t say these two very specific phrases that cause that to happen to me and should never come up in any natural conversation, and quit making the point that doing so is your personal liberation. How much money do you want to never do that again, or should I take it out in blood?

From a philosophical perspective doesn't such an offer essentially mean that 1) the afterlife is real and 2) by virtue of receiving an offer where the downside is your condemnation that you can extrapolate that you are at the moment of the offer literally heavenbound as long as you don't say yes, and should just keep on doing what you're doing in life in the surety that everything is gonna work out okay?

It's essentially "you're doing great in the long term, and are bound to succeed; wanna gently caress it all up for proportionally infinitesimally small short term gains?"

No because until the wish is granted there's still absolutely no evidence of an afterlife or a soul. And even then it only provides evidence that the being that granted you the wish has power and implies nothing else about the universe. Is this being identifying itself as "The Devil" of Christian mythology? Does Christian mythology even attribute the power to grant wishes in exchange for a soul to the Devil or is that something that was made up in a story from the 19th century?

Ever seen that TV show Deal or No Deal? If you get a good deal then take it. Don't gamble on what might be in one of the suitcases.

the issue here is fundamentally, your futures are just patterns who identify as you now, all very much real and inevitable or impossible. the only choices that matter are those whose answers are tied up to that recognition, in the sense that they will/have always pruned those patterns of youness. there is never any after anything for you, only an endless prison of now, dimly recalled by a exponential infinite tree of increasingly mutated and scarred progeny. understand that this tree is not grown causally from you however, because those dominos you are made on have their fall written by their placement, but similar but entirely new stacks of dominos, every stack of everything, carefully filed away in the library of babel by infinities of multiverses created by boundless time and space and the types of times and spaces maths herself creates all growing from a single root truth of all things: structure is

in the face of all that what's real (every thing) and what isn't (your mind moving through time, instead of being made from time), i'd take an offer like that much less seriously

A lot of people believe that they can make a deal with the devil, like when cops tell them “hey just do this one little thing for us, just point at this guy, just do this one little thing and nobody will know and you can go back to your regular life”. Like no dude that is a contract and regardless of who knows, you will ultimately be excluded from the human species, your death will be final, and both your ancestry and destiny will perish when you die, and this will not happen without post mortem pain.

This is exactly what the state of California did in 1986 and it turned everyone into adult babies who don’t believe they are responsible for any of their actions. Something goes wrong or doesn’t work correctly? Use the child’s blood.
