It Is Possible To Sell Your Soul
Let's say "For" means it is possible and "Against" means it is not. Assume hypothetically your soul exists. If you can't touch it and you can't physically control it and it's at always the core of you then how technically can you sell it? Is there a way for the buyer to take it out of you? Would not God be the true owner anyway making it impossible you could sell it? Isn't it like a stranger on the street claiming to own the Brooklyn Bridge and selling it to you?

Having watched Alan Parker 1987 film Angel Heart there is no room for doubt.

Don't you all remember that episode where Bart sold his to Milhouse for 5 dollars? I just solved the debate with concrete, undisputable evidence. You can thank me later.

We all sell a little bit of it.

I would say that, metaphorically, you can 'sell' it by abandoning it in favour of material gain or selfish endeavours. By acknowledging, then forgoing your soul, you effectively give it up. Whether someone else is then able to claim it I don't know.

As for God being the owner, I would imagine He sacrificed that ownership when He introduced free will. As such, the hypothetical soul is ours to do with as we please.

But literally, I have not yet been visited by a stranger with cloven feet and a pointed tail offering to take my soul off my hands for a stunning array of silverware.

Yes.

Like the air you breathe in and out into your lungs, you cannot see it or touch it, but you surely WOULD miss it were it gone. Should you wish to test this concept for yourself? Hold your breath 3 minutes and get back to me on this at that time.

Your soul, once lost, you as a person who cannot in this form of flesh-human, in this existence, who cannot see your soul, cannot therefore find it for yourself.

When you lose your soul on this earth, in order for it to be found, you must call Ghost-Busters, to locate your @ss-Soul for you.

911-call on Jesus: He busters-ewe-up-as-a-lost-Sheeples.

He is The Good Shepherd, and as such, can find the lost sheep: And, as He is also a Spirit - He is the Good Advocate:
Jesus, when he left, resurrected from this earth 2000 years ago into the heavens whence he came; He left us His Holy Spirit: The Holy Ghost is the Holy Spirit in some translations: He, is the Paraclete : Advocate, Intercessor, Pleader on our behalf.

Equipped to locate lost souls and re-find them. This term is referred to as , "SALVATION'.
Equipped to also re-fine them. This term is referred to as , "SANCTIFICATION".

The work - all of it - is of The Good Shepherd.
We - all of us - are the Sheep.

And although none us can SEE Him, the Paraclete, He can see us, and that is all that matters. Our very breath, comes from God; our lives are a gift, from God.
And should you miss your soul? Ask Him, to find it for you, and He will. Jesus is really good that way....;-) He has Technology.

Only if the buyer is a complete moron or a religious extremist or something like that.

I'm not quite sure where to post this because you contradicted yourself in a way. First you said that it is possible to sell your soul. Then you asked a number of questions which in themselves state that no, it is not possible.

 SlyOne, I could have sworn my heading when I posted was "Is it possible to sell your soul?" with the question mark at the end. I wonder if the administrators of the site edited it because the debate heading shouldn't be a question. Although I make typos sometimes it's rare I'd make an opposite meaning typo like that.

My spiritual sense tells me that our soul is the only essence of what we humans contain, that cannot be sold, or token away. Our soul is our spirit, mind, imagination, and emotion all wrapped up in one module specified for the afterlife. We cannot lose our soul without the existence of a mythological curse, but I believe the integrity of our soul can be changed, inflicted, and damaged.

 I agree with you. See my comment under SlyOne above because I think my heading may have been edited.

Nope. Our souls have been redeemed. Paid for. Bought back.

The question is not can we sell our souls. It's can we nullify the purchase that has been made?

We could go to the purchaser and petition our soul be returned to us on the grounds that it is ours. The ensuing debate would likely be interesting.

We could run in an attempt to steal our soul from the owner.

We might try subterfuge. Mask our soul so the owner doesn't recognize it.

 Jesus has bought back our lost collective souls individually.
