Additionally, what is the purpose/use/etc of a soul?

My favorite answer still comes from Sandman.

So you're saying it's perfectly safe to enter a pact with the devil?
>>18099653
Demons aren't real. Humans are, and in reality do some fucked up shit!
>>18099720
The point is that the devil would have zero interest in entering into a pact with you.
>>18099653
Life force.
What would you do with it if someone offered you the entire chunk of energy their synapses would use for the rest of their life?
From a material aspect, just look at the caloric joules a human life burns through. The folks who set %DV shit on food labels base that on a 2000 calorie diet. You know what a calorie actually is? It's tge energy required to heat 1cc of water 1°C. In just one week, those folks assume the average human consumes and uses enough energy to literally vaporize a snowball. Life expectancy at ~75 years means about 3800 vaporized snowballs per human life.
We're batteries waiting to be bought.

So what's the basis for demonology?
>>18099748
In the real world, the same as faith healing, creationism, fortune telling, new age bullshit, etc. A combination of delusion, ignorance and hucksterism.
>>18099653
demons don't need souls.
They need bodies. Duh.
Demons ARE SOULS.
>>18099782
>demons are souls
>demon souls
>>>/v/
>>18099747
idk what you're talking about with snowballs or whatever but yeah life force
same idea behind blood sacrifice
>>18099800
Basically think of it like the human farms in the Matrix movies, except rather than our material selves being churned into fuel, it's our chi/prana/etc
>>18099845
the human farms in the matrix were illogical
it takes more energy to keep humans alive than they produce by heat. first law of thermodynamics
>>18099863
The description in >>18099845 was actually what The Matrix was originally - the producers figured nobody would understand it so they used the battery analogy instead.
>>18100004
Well that's nifty; guess I picked a halfway decent example then lol
I sold my soul to the devil. But it's gods to do with as he pleases.
>>18099845
don't forget our orgon energy
>>18099796
> demon souls not demons souls
>>18099747
>>18099800
So am I to understand that hell is actually a Monsters Inc. type conspiracy?
It's a place for life's foot to walk all over.
>>18099748
Bullshit, obviously
>>18100334
well I'm talking about the "demons" or spirits on earth
