Financial Firm Accepts Souls As Collateral 11

A financial firm in Latvia is offering 90 day loans with no collateral except your immortal soul. Kontora doesn't require a credit check or proof of employment, only a signed document agreeing that the company owns your soul if you fail to pay and that the soul in question is a "previously unmortgaged property." The loans are also subject to a one-percent-per-day interest rate.

I have a feeling that most religious bankers in the West don't practice what they preach. They don't even seem to believe what they preach. Soul? ... it's worthless to them.

So, basically, as an atheist, I could just get me a free $1000? Nice. Where can I sign up?

  I was thinking the same thing, but if this contract were legally valid(which I doubt), would that mean they can force you to take your soul to church after 90 days? Because that would suck.

  No, because after you can't pay them back, you've essentially signed a contract that allows them to kill you.

  No, because you have no soul to sell.
