TIL Satan is a genie.

Also, in these games, the folks going for β€œmore wishes” are shooting low. The only wish you need, which also defeats the monkey’s paw, is β€œgrant me omnipotence.”

But: this is Satan we’re talking about. The Deciever, The Traitor. Not only is this a monkey-paw situation, but a Christian Satan is going to actively try to decieve you.

I don’t think I’d even trust his answer about whether there’s a cost, so I’d pass on the winning lotto numbers, too.

I’d say, β€œno thanks” and immediately convert to Catholicism, start going to church, and lead a clean life from here on out. If the orthodox Jews are right, I’m fucked anyway since my mother isn’t a Jew, so Christianity is the best bet.

I thought if Judaism is correct gentiles can avoid Gehennom (purgatory) by following the 7 noahide laws?

Dunno. I haven’t studied it; all my info comes from informal conversations with a jewish friend of mine, a long time ago. I could also be misremembering what he said.

It’s something I would look into, if faced with confirmation of a judao-christian afterlife, especially if I could concurrently cover multiple bases. I’d look at Islam, as well; could be they’re not mutually exclusive. I dread to think of how limited my diet would become… but faced with an ensured eternity in hell Β―\(ツ)/Β―
