a sheep in wolfs clothing: a thought experiment.

[Vlitmer]

when I was younger, I faced a lot of different hardships and troubles as a kid which I won't get into here. but at one point so fed up with the state of my life and hardships me my family and the people around me faced I consciously thought to myself and prayed and pleaded to both god and the devil asking them to condemn my soul to eternal hell after death for the means and capability to make change in the world for the better while I lived.

about 20 years later now I don't know what's become of that plea, but I feel I've been able to make a lot of changes for the better regardless of if it was due to a Nieve pact with divinities made by a child or just plain effort on my part.

this has led me to find an interesting question I like to ask people. "If you could make a deal to have the ability to massively change the world for the better in your life but after you die, be subject to hell for eternity, would you"

I've come surprised to find most everyone I ask says no, given I change the wording of the question depending on the situation, but it seems more then less people would not. so how about yourself

Heh.
I don't believe in the god or the devil. But I can bet that in some situations it damn feels that eternity in hell would be salvation and going into paradise. So I can definitely imagine myself doing just that. I would have to have different worldview that I sued to have or have now, but yes. The answer is yes.
