Current Events > Would you be a "sin eater" if the job existed?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Basically, a dying, rich person would put their sins into some bread or something easy to eat, and they would pay you X amount to eat the bread, thus taking their sins as your own. They would be absolved of all their sins and be allowed to die with a clean conscience, not become a ghost, etc.

You, however, would carry their sins with you until death. Also, you'd never know what the sins were until you were there and agreed to "eat" them, so they could be anything.

Let's assume you'd get like $1 million per client - would you do this?

(I'm not sure if you could hire a sin eater when you were on your deathbed or not, but let's assume you could. You'd still have to make it to a deathbed and not be murdered or killed in an accident, etc.)

No. I saw a movie about this

Seems risky. You can go to hell for stuff you didn't do.

i thought this would be a topic about eating pussy. and my answer was going to be yes.

I mean, there's no downside for you, then.

But how about anyone who believes? Would you do this job?

is this assuming Hell/Heaven is a fact in this universe, and those sins have a real effect on the afterlife, or is it just a personal conscience thing?

Depends, what's it taste like?

Heaven and Hell exist - if you die with their sins, you suffer those consequences.

I'll become a new Jesus. Instead of dying for your sins, I'll eat them. Seems fitting for a society full of obese people, tbh.

Devil's Food cake? Lol

It's bread, or whatever food they give you.

(It won't be poisoned or anything - it's just food. You could even choose what it is.)

Wait a minute.

If I eat the sins of every individual on the planet do I become Satan?

No. Satan exists to tempt people. By removing sin from the world, you would be going against his work. You'd be more like Jesus.

Damnit.

Can I punch Jesus, get sent to hell, and overthrow Satan then?

Why not overthrow jesus/Christianity and start your own operation

Itd be you, in the flesh, saving souls for heaven. Youd be a hit.
