Well, Satan...do you need a new right hand? I hate Jehovah as much as you do oh mighty dread lord.
And would be your servant on earth, and then your friend and confidant in hell.(this is a Joke)

Well...I would ask for...in exchange for my soul(It isnt like it is a bad exchange...Satan is the good guy in the bible.)

Health and Longevity, knowledge, charisma, languages...Power I can get from Talen...

Depends on what he wants in exchange.

I'd want

- Perfect health no matter what abuses I inflict on my body, for the rest of my natural life.
- The ability to speak every language on Earth.
- The ability to pull out any amount of cash from my pocket, whenever I need to.

I'd want to become the main character in one of my numerous fictional worlds. Probably the alternate earth where I secretly rule a vast military alliance.I also want an extended life, say 150 years, perfect health and an extremely slow aging process, so I die when I'm physically about 40. I'd also want a couple freebies on the books, basically if I think up something else later I can have it. :)

I would ask him about his take on the story of the garden of eden, I would ask him about how he got to where he is, that sort of thing...kind of lame, I know.

I ask him what it's like serving a guy who's name is YHWH Sabaoth, God of Armies. I then ask for a tour of hell before I make my decisions, and spout a whole bunch of legal jargon as my reason for doing so. After I do all this, if hell is a bad place, I politely decline. If hell's pretty cool, I ask him for immortality :twisted:

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I would ask him for knowledge, wealth and power. I would also ask him to bring down the human population to around a quarter of a billion and appoint me as sole ruler. As ruler of this "new humanity" I would ensure that love for one-another and for nature herself are placed above all.

Obviously I would ask his price, if I found it to be unfair (as I would expect) then I would kindly tell him to shove it.
