And as story goes, human can form a contract with demon, and demon would grand him wishes when he's alive, and take his soul when his dead. I mean... I don't know why people would consider it a bad thing! Seriously, if someone auction his soul on ebay, I doubt people would pay a penny for it. But with a price that no one knows what it is, you get the lifetime servitude of a demon, sign me up please! I want a personal demon to do my bidding, and ask me "what's thy bidding my master", that'd be cool!
And when I'm dead, man I don't even know what happen when i'm dead! I could just turning into dust for all I know. It's like "here's all the life's riches and you can pay me back after you're dead!" Damn! Best deal ever.
And the idea that some arch demon come to someone, that's just ridiculous. President Obama never visit me in person, why would some all powerful demon (high officials in hell) come visit a nobody? If he wants to manipulate earth affairs, wouldn't it be much effective if he end up manipulation presidents or generals?
In the end, it's all pathetic attempt of normal human beings to feel SPECIAL, to feel important in one way or another. It's not demon who desperately want our soul, it is us who desperately want to be wanted, to be needed, to be important, even in a negative kind of way. If the human world won't recognize my value, the demons will.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that human soul is of no value. Whatever it is (depends on your religious belief), it is priceless. Just like honor, dignity and honesty is priceless. But these values are priceless only for the person who's holding them. In another words, while soul is priceless to me, it holds no value for other people. Since there's no common value assigned to soul, it can not be used as bargaining chips.
