Description
I don't change descriptions to my art as a rule. I usually just add an EDIT: blah blah blah
I just feel the old description just doesn't work and needed the boot ... so here's the new one:

Soap Box:
A soapbox is a raised platform on which one stands to make an impromptu speech, often about a political subject. The term originates from the days when speakers would elevate themselves by standing on a wooden crate originally used for shipment of soap or other dry goods from a manufacturer to a retail store. The term is also used metaphorically to describe a person engaging in often flamboyant impromptu or unofficial public speaking, as in the phrases "He's on his soapbox", or "Get off your soapbox."

Deviant art is not the place to fly off on your personal little rants and insult people for their beliefs. It's bigoted and unnecessary.

Theism and atheism is not your local sports team. It forms an integral part of the persons life. It is fundamentally part of the person and how they view the world. I personally don't care if you agree or disagree with this statement, but it's how I see it.

Please remember if you reply here:

I don't mind you airing your opinion ... just remember your opinion is not the only opinion

On the hidden comment below:
It was sad to see that I actually had to hide a comment. This person created "anti" art geared at this stamp and tried to advertise it on here. I do feel that I need to thank them though for stalking me to this degree because they have bumper stickered this stamp all over their artist description and gained me four faves (possibly more since then).
