Sorry man, that was not the point. You don't know if you have a sould or not. But if you do, you probably would not want to sell it or take the chance on it. That was the point. Only the true non-believer would really take me up on it. Anybody else is an agnostic. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Great device. I got one on my Racer, not on my VooDoo. Soon as I can afford it, I'll have another. but it don't stop me from jumping. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

I'm sorry I must have been mistaken, I was only going by the dictionary version of Atheist/Agnostic. I was unaware there were sects or cults of them!! Well you learn something new everyday. The burden of proof thing sounds too much like legal speak and I don't believe in Lawyers..only cause I have not seen any proof of an equal justice system. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Real shame, I'm sorry to hear about it. My condolences to the family and friends that knew and loved him. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Well I was cool with that until the butt sniffing part. My dog is a Golden Retriever. The fucker is so damn happy he makes me sick. You couldn't get the smile off his face with a pound of C4 and a prybar. I love him to death and most of the time he's my idol. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Meathorse, give me the address and I'll send you the buck. I think you shoulda held out for a side of fries though. Yeah, I've been called stubborn a time or two. My point wasn't to prove anything, just to see if any of the people thaty questioned the topic were really as atheist as they thought. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

I'll use whatever makes sense to me right or wrong....until I can be shown my error. You have not done that yet. Don't take this personal, I don't care what you believe. I don't nit pick a damn thing. The simple fact is, I believe...in something and I am willing to defend it, even though I lack concrete proof. You claim to not believe and have no logic to support that either. I'm happy with this if you are. My price still stands however. I can't afford a hundred bucks, but if I could I'd gladly donate it to a good charity. Besides if I gave you a hundred, than every other heathen would want a hundred............. Where would it stop. If you want to call it quits, just say it: I don't believe in a God, I renounce the entire concept as foolish and I don't think I have a soul; and if anyone were dunb enough to buy it from me I'd sell it for whatever I could get, because I'm an atheist. You do this and I'll respect your choice whether I greee or not. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Well, when I was trying to get laid a maybe was a far better cry than a no. Sometimes we takes what we gets. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

I like to practise my faith at that church as often as I can. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Why quibble the details? Start, finish....all of life is a journey. Are you on a path....yes you are. Whether you want to be or not, everyone is. It's called life and life is what happens while you are busy trying to make other things happen. Who knows, I may end up sleeping with old hockey goalies worshipping goat testicles.....but for right now and the past 12 years, my concept of God is the one that made the world I live in. I see his evidence every time I play with my nieces and nephews, when I look into my Golden Retriever's eyes, when I look out at the horizon under canopy or hold my wife's hand. I have no answers that can convince anybody. But the answers I got when I needed them were enough to start me on a path. My path currently has yielded nothing but a decent life where I deserved nothing. For that I am grateful. Anything is possible, but I believe there is something called a God, I have a soul and a life. When I die, I cannot say what will happen. But I think God will probably sit me down, ask me to explain some things, tell me what a moron I was and then send me out to play with the rest of children. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Well, if acknowledge the possibility of a higher life form, who for lack of better terminology we can call a God, then that makes you an agnostic. If you can deal with that, then you can also slide by that maybe this God gave you a soul. Your body may be worm food, but just maybe your soul has another purpose. As I only take souls from atheists, I give you yours back, at no charge, to do with as you choose. Wishing you nothing but good things. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

So basically you are an agnostic? You acknowledge there could be something, but are witholding your vote until better evidence is in? Thats a good start. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

I'm a capricorn also. Wish I had read that horoscope early enough in the day to take advantage of it. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Someone who really believes they have an immortal soul would probably refuse the deal on general principal. Why take chances with something you never want to lose. As for the effort, you responded to this post for free, so obviously you can slow down, it is simply a matter of price. Tell you what, I'll take email offers. The point is that if you are truly a devout non-believer in a God what harm is there? Make a stand, and stand up for your belief. If you have a hesitation in this, just maybe you believe a bit more than you care to admit. The details are meaningless, and the exchange of cash for soul is not my issue. Many people will refuse to believe in a God on the outside. Yet will not stand behind it. My point was to see who was looking for debate and who really believes a God does not exist. So email me your soul, complete real name with your address and I'll mail you a buck. No effort on your part at all. But if any part of that bothers you, than you must admit that maybe, just maybe you do have an immortal soul and that a God may exist. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Interesting concept, please continue. I don't know why I equate an immortal soul to a God, just seemed right at that time. As I said I could be wrong. I'm always open to ideas. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

So you are basically abstaining from making a committent on the pretense of value? Profit is your motivating factor here? And it has nothing to do with beliefs now? JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

I'll get on that, sorry I have not done it already. look for it soon. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Thanks I guess, and congratulations. You are the first person to ever call me on that and as such you are the first real atheist I know. (who owes the beer on this one, you or me?) I'm not sure what to do with your soul now. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Sounds like it was quite the good time. I wish we would perfect this cloning thing so I could be in two places at the same time. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

You are tap dancing amigo. Negotiations are not an option. Sell it to the Devil if you want top dollar, but that is obviously not an option either, as God does not exist, Satan can't either. That leaves me and my offer is a buck. Sell it for a buck, thats my offer. If you don't have it who cares what price you get? My beliefs are not the issue and what I want or do with your soul (or lack there of) is not important. Make a stand. Sell it for the buck and show me how convicted you are in your non-belief. Mine has no price, thought to selling it not even considerable. As for proof of delivery, I'll take the signed piece of paper. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Actually the Buddhists were pretty cool. One said that his religion was dependent on what country or enviroment he was in. Christian country, he was Christian, Muslim, he was Muslim. He said there many, many paths up a mountain but once you reach the top all the views are pretty much the same. He said he did not view God as a seperate being from our world, "on the outside looking in so to speak. But instead thought of God as our universe, part of everything and us a part of it. I came away from my brief exposure from Buddhism with the feeling that there is a balance to logic and emotion. Neither should rule your life, but they are equal. Nothing should be taken to seriously as it is all temporary, yet do your best as you are judged on it. I would not mind studying their beliefs a bit more. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

You just gotta love the Simpsons. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Eng!!!!! I was wondering when your physics mind was going to kick into this one. I'll ask you straight up: Do you believe in a God or not? As for my perception....it is my reality. Reality IS perception. At one time we percieved that the world was flat. It was reality and governed how people acted and thought; until it was showm to be an incorrect perception. All I am saying is that my percetion og a God worked for me, it may be incorrect, but noone has proff of it. What I think is beautiful or not is not important. That someone other than me...or anybody (human being) I know made that beauty is important. If you wish to say that math did this, than God's name may be math. But Math has a great sense of humor and artistic flair doesn't he? JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Congratulations!! Tell Mad John and Alan I said hi. JJ JJ "Call me Darth Balls"

Well ladies and gentleman, we seem to have struck a chord. I have gotten people confirming their spiritual concepts and those denying that anything is out there. So to continue the muckraking I submit more of my drivel. I would never tell someone that ANY belief they have in ANY concept of God is wrong. Any type of spiritual belief should be a personal choice. I have related part of my history and how I came across my beliefs. (which is pretty basic: There is a God, whom I do not understand and when he/she/it wants me to do something, I'll know about it somehow. In the meantime do the best I can.) I have had many conversations, arguements, discussions with many religious/spiritual poeple: Buddhists, Mormons, Catholics, Baptsist missionaries...etc. Many of these people have accused me of trying to disprove their beliefs: creation/evolution, the Ark thing, the shroud of Turin...you name it. Some of these conversations got pretty ugly. The truth is I was never trying to find fault with their beliefs, I was looking for answers. I was looking for the right way to believe. None of these people have ever given me concrete proof of their version of God. But try as I might I could not disprove what they said either. Humankind to this day believes a lot of things that lack concrete proof, so why should a God be anyt different?. End result: Jeff knows nothing more than anyone else about a God. God knows the truth and he has not given the story to the National Enquirer yet. A few years ago, a devout atheist asked me to prove there was a God. In a brief moment of clarity I came up with this: If there is no God, in ANY form or concept, than the notion of humans having an eternal soul is not valid. My proposal was that this person should sell me their soul for $1.00. They make a buck for selling something they don't have and affirm their refusal of a God. Pretty cut and dry. To date yet, nobody has taken me up on this offer. And while this may not be proof of a God, it does make these proposed atheists admit they are really agnostics. And that my friends is a whole lot better than totally denying a God. So there is my offer to you atheists out there. Put up or shut up so to speak. Sell me your soul for a buck. If you can do this, you are truly an atheist and convinced of your non-belief. (And I applaud your committent, truly I do) Otherwise, you have some soul searching to do. If you want to sell me your soul, write out the following: I (state your real name) sell my soul to Jeff Johnson for the sum of $1.00, to do with as he sees fit. And then sign your name. Blood is not required, ink will work fine. JJ I am not trying to offend anyone, please understand. This topic came up and hit a nerve with me, so I responded to it. JJ "Call me Darth Balls"
