Need money? All you need is your soul!
Check it out:
http://russiatoday.com/Art_and_Fun/2..._ money_.html
You can sell your soul for money at "Kontora" in Riga, Latvia. You also have to pay back the money at 1% a day and have 90days to pay back. And when you do pay back you don't get your soul back!  You have to buy it back with more money 
What do you guys think about this?

Yeah... I find it kind of odd... 40% of the population is atheist... but the major religion is Christianity. But still, that means 40% of the population can just sell their soul and they wouldn't care :\

If that interest rate is good ( i don't know much about interest  ) I would do it. If I were religious, I would feel that those company rules wouldn't apply to me and I would still take advantage of that lol. |

Not sure what the interest rate in Canada is, but I'm very sure it's higher than 1%

Dude, I'm Atheist and I wouldn't do that. Just because I don't believe in a God doesn't mean I don't have a soul. Also, that's easy money which is something else that irks me.
Trust me that's creepy all around.
LMAO.

No, you'd have to pay it back within 90 days, it's just the fact that the interest is so low.

Still wouldn't do it. I hope this thing doesn't actually exist. It seems like these religious people are trying to make a statement. They just look pathetic.

1% is low depending on the amount of time. 1% a year is usually a great interest rate, 1% a day in Canada is highway robbery, worse than just about any credit card. All this craziness probably has to do with the economic instability in Latvia at the moment.
The moral of the story is don't ever take out a loan with 1% daily interest!

Case 1: The soul is a real thing:
Is it worth any amount of money to use your soul as collateral?
Case 2: Suppose otherwise, the soul is fictitious:
Is it worth the 1% daily interest?
In either case...just foolishness to me.
Not to mention, the existence/non-existence of a soul isn't exactly something factual...I'd rather not risk it. If it's real, what are the terms under which I may 'sell' my soul? Is it even possible?
