Question for all of you to respond to. I'd like to know all of your opinions. Do you believe there are celebrities that have literally, actually sold their souls to achieve their fame and/or fortune?
I personally believe some have. You can point to some specific lyrics in songs, sources for plots in movies, or treks to far aways places to commune with leaders of various false religions.

Okay, I guess I can see the song lyrics and "communing with leaders". It's crazy, sure, but a common belief nevertheless. But I'm drawing a blank on the third piece of evidence- how can a movie plot be satanic?
@Illuminatalie: No.. Gonzo TRIED to. But he could not find a pen. The fact I remember this is a slight cause for concern.
I am also convinced the Cliff Richard has a painting of himself decaying for him in his attic.
But you know... I don't consider it REAL.
Yes, it is definate that there are some celebrities that have sold their soul to Satan for ephemeral gain. Douglas Adams had evidence for it, and published it in his Dirk Gently Biographical book "The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul".
You should read this book - some of it is misdirection, as he uses false Norse gods in the plot, and fictional characters (one was actually based on John Lennon, another on Jimi Hendrix)) but if you read between the lines properly, it is clearly Satan that is being referred to - because he was scared that THEY would get him. And they did! It is interesting that this was his final book, and that he died before being able to complete the last book, which as was rumoured (I have the true info), was going to prove that Charles Darwin was a cross dressing homosexual child molestor, and actually lived with the Rev. Charles Dodgson (a.k.a. Lewis Carroll) in a gay relationship. Charles, and Charles! Coincidence? I think not!
You heard it here first!

Well, there's Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Coulter, Malkin and others of that odor. They all have the stink of brimstone and decay.
Souls don't exist, so no I don't believe that.
If they did exist, I suspect people like George W. Bush and Sarah Palin and John McCain would sell theirs for power.
"Do you believe there are celebrities that have literally, actually sold their souls to achieve their fame and/or fortune?"
Benny Hinn, Pat Robertson, and James Dobson leap to mind, even if they are not celebrities in the conventional sense.
EDIT:
Unrelated to the quote but amusing reading is this link about Benny Hinn:

There have been times when I would have welcomed the opportunity to do so, but, you know, the Devil is just as elusive as Gawd. Conclusion, the whole religious house of cards is ephemeral.
I love the reason this moron gives for some celebrities 'selling their soul'. Song lyrics, plots, and going places to see people who don't agree with fundyism, what a load. People said the same about Robert Johnson.
Edit: This made me think about that one point in the movie "Dogma" where Salma Hyek (sp?) says she's responsible for 9 of the top 10 movies of all time. She said about "Home Alone" that someone sold their soul to Satan for that one.
" Do you believe there are celebrities that have literally, actually sold their souls to achieve their fame and/or fortune?

I personally believe god is made of spaghetti and meatballs. My belief is as valid as yours.
#1 - "Souls" are imaginary
#2 - The "demons" that you are supposed to sell these imaginary "souls" to are ALSO imaginary
#3 - The "creator" of these souls is ALSO imaginary
..so..your point is?
Besides, fairy tail stories about selling souls is entertaining to the sheep minded people. I mean look at how fired up you are about it..LOL.
I'd heard Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his amazing martial arts skills. As soon as both of them had signed and Chuck got his power, he round-house kicked Satan in the head and took back his soul. The devil said he should have seen it coming and couldn't be too mad at Chuck. Now they play poker every third Tuesday of the month.
...well, that's what I heard.
What do I want, what do I need?
There’s a mighty fine line between wealth and greed
But I got a good price when I sold my soul

Why should the devil have to go to the expense of buying souls. Supposedly, anyone who doesn't believe the Truth of the Wholly Babble belongs to him anyway, ensuring that billions and billions of souls all except those of gullible, brainwashed fundies are all his free of charge, provided by a god who utterly fails.
@ Philip from Australia:
You fucking WIN.
I dunno, look at Cruise... oh, wait, that's Scientology... my mistake, carry on.
From the same thread:
==I do know both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are both outspoken Second Amendment advocates and NRA supporters. So I know they do have some conservative values. This is the question and I will say in some defense that public people are sometimes overly scrutinized and they can be easy fodder, they said this , they said that. Are we hearing and seeing the 'whole' person and what they really believe? ==
So there you go. Join the NRA and you're probably saved, even if you support Teh Gay Marriage!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
