Full text SHOULD read "I'm such a nice person, it's a SHAME I'm going to hell for eternity" but "for eternity" wouldn't fit.

WHY, you ask?

People keep TELLING me this! They tell me that I'm such a nice person, it's a shame I'm going to hell for eternity!

WHY am I going to hell? That varies, but it's usually for one of the following reasons:
- I'm Jewish
- I'm Wiccan (EDIT: Pagan. Long story...this is an older deviation of mine)
- I follow Kabalah
- I'm Bisexual
- I'm an artist (seriously. We're evil. Haven't you heard?)
- I swear
- I openly discuss sex
- I'm not married, and I'm not a virgin (this is closely related to the last one)
- I have questions about God (you would not BELIEVE what a discussion about my questions about God can lead to!!!)

So if you fall into any of these categories, chances are, you're in the same boat I am!

So, the next time someone says "You're such a nice person...it's a SHAME you're going to hell for eternity!" use my standard answer.

"But I have this big table reserved! If I give it up, where will my family sit?!"



EDIT: THIS is NOT a Christian-bashing session/thread, whatever you want to call it. The message on the stamp is actually something I have been told. Something that has been said to me many, many times. ACTUALLY SAID TO ME. So, I am reacting to it. If I don't laugh about it, I have to cry. So I laugh. Therefore, before posting here that you hate me, or accuse me of hating you (Damn, man, I don't even KNOW you!) or whatever else you're going to post, go through the comments and read the other people who've done that, and my replies. You might find that I've already addressed your issue.

A few of the comments that you may want to read before posting:

[link] (I didn't even get a chance to reply to this...someone else ran with it. They didn't respond at all like I would have, but this isn't a closed debate, and it was entertaining to read these replies )

By the way...PLEASE...if you're going to start something, at least have the decency to respondw ith more than a one liner of how I will "see the light"...join in the debate or don't bother posting. "Because The Bible Says So" only works with other Christians. I'm not Christian. If you want to convince me, I give you ample opportunity. Don't waste it.

And last, but not least, and certainly, I've taken my time putting up this link, don't forget to check out the stamp ~secretbear created with my answer on, it.

---Edit #2---

I know, this is turning into the longest running artist's note on the planet.

So, WOW...over three years later, and this stamp still has everyone talking!

So you know, I've now reached #43 as far as this statement goes. Yes, I have, in all seriousness, been told this 43 times. In real life. Where, y'know, the person has to stand there looking at my face when they say it.

I admit, I've gotten creative with my answers. I now announce their number and ask them if they want a t-shirt commemorating the occasion on it.

Either way, the comments on this stamp are amazing, and I encourage you all to keep posting! I don't have time to answer each one, but I promise that I read every last one of them, and if something comes up that I feel the need to address, I will.

For those that are agreeing with me, I don't think you need me to answer you - I love you, you love me, let's team up and kill Barney!

Either way, keep commenting, and let's get ourselves to 1k comments, shall we?


BTW, I twitter now, if you wanna see the things I do that have condemned me to the firey pits forever.
