Description
This graphic was inspired by a pretty terribly set up website. The site pretty much had this exact phrase but the text was an animated GIF of flaming text. I took some liberties with it and added a comically determined but non-intimidating demon to boost the humor a bit, but also to make the graphic text and image based.Related content

I fail to find the humor. Supposing you really do believe this, do you really find the idea of nice normal people who happen to not believe in your god, suffering eternally, to be comical?
If that's the morality of your religion, I'm glad not to share it.

I don't recall stating anywhere that I "really do believe this" but thanks for making assumption about me...
Looking at the description, I didn't clearly state that I was parodying the bluntness of such a statement. I do indeed believe in Heaven and Hell but I find such an absolute statement - especially when used as nothing more than a scare tactic - to be comical. People that use threats like this as their main tactic of "conversion" I find to be humorous since I feel that such a direction is not only ineffective but also harmful to any type of religious discussion.
In closing, my apologies that you "failed to find the humor" and thank you so much for jumping to your own conclusions about me and my beliefs.

Try reading what I said again, "Supposing you really do believe this"
Supposing.
It was a hypothetical.
I still don't really find humor in even the fact some people believe this: a lot of people undergo traumatic experiences because of this mindset existing.

Ah, my apologies for misinterpreting your statement, but I would hope that you would concede that the rest of your statement - with or without "supposing" - appears to be some strong assumptions about me just from your wording. I can see why you don't find this humorous, but I'm not going to apologize for how I try to find humor in what is normally a hot button issue of discussion.
It's not quite the same thing, but I'm reminded of comedians that often make light of issues like death. I can guarantee that there are people that would not find such jokes amusing, but there are also people that decide to find the humor in such issues as a way of coping. I'm not going to apologize for my outlook of finding humor in a situation, but I do apologize that you felt offended or put off.
