Confused SD cartoonist takes aim at me, again
Local cartoonist Scott Ehrisman decided to feature me again today in a post titled Pastor Denial. At one point a few months ago some were suggesting he was infatuated with me - that kept him quiet for a couple months. I'm definately an enigma to him and his cartoon here reveals his confusion.

Ehrisman is all over the map on this one - I'm one who holds the Constitution in the highest regard - he's the h8r, not me. But, whatever. What do we expect from one whose favorite band has an CD called incesticide and he's proud to have a t-shirt of the CD cover.

Ha! Maybe he's jealous! That's the only thing I can think of!
anonymous @ 9:13 pm
ehrisman is just a bitter, lousy artist with nothing better to do. ignore him. there are more important things to deal with.
C. Edward @ 9:15 pm
i love how he pictures you in cathoic clergyman's garb! cause you're totally a cathoic!!
Bret @ 9:31 pm
Hey Steve free publicity! Looks like he's trying to ride the coat tails of others to get noticed.
I googled his name and NOTHING popped up, notta, zippo, zero. The guys an idiot, he's got the talking points down, and he probably didn't come up with that on his own either. Not to mention he's got your hair parted down the wrong side and he calls himself an artist.
I do like the collar thing though, think you could start wearing something like that?

haha, this is so true.

Detroit Lewis @ 3:09 am
Steve-
I didn't give you permission to put this toon up, take it down, Mr. Constitution. (now that's satire!).
Steve @ 9:36 am
Detroit- I'll get right on that after I finish up the invoice I'm sending you for using my likeness in a disparaging and defaming way.
Detroit Lewis @ 9:47 am
so were even?
Jared @ 10:47 am
since you are anti-choice can we call them anti-life? I think it fits well. Oh the cartoons that are in my head right now!
PC @ 10:51 am
Steve, Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Mat. 5:11-12)
This battle isn't with Detroit but the one he unknowingly serves.
Detroit Lewis @ 10:58 am
The Devil?! Sorry, I don't serve something I don't believe in.

You don't believe abortion is murder either. That does not make it any less true.
You believe you a good artist, and that you're funny, that does not mean that either one of those are true either.
Just because you don't believe in the devil does not mean that he does not exist. Unless maybe you think your above God, then of course you might believe that you know something the rest of don't.
Some Dude @ 1:35 pm
"You don't believe abortion is murder either. That does not make it any less true."
If you and your leaders thought that was true, you'd have made abortion tantamount to murder in RL 6 and IM11. Why didn't you?
"You believe you a good artist, and that you're funny, that does not mean that either one of those are true either."
To be fair, he is funny… looking.
Amy @ 1:50 pm
Okay. DL - Satan's first tactic is to make humans think he doesn't exist. Sucks to be you if you expire before you get Truth because Truth will set you free from the laws of sin and death. Satan is real and he has you in his clutches.
As hard as it is to love and pray for somebody like you who continually attacks what is right and pure with what is vile; I give myself to fast and pray for you, that the eyes of your heart will be open and that you would recognize that your soul is broken and there is only One who can fix it. You cannot command me not to pray for you, I report to a (much, much) higher Power. My will and heart are free because the Son has made me free, indeed. (that's a paraphrase of the Bible, just in case you haven't read the Good Book).
I look forward to the day when I can call you my brother, Scott and even now am asking God our Father to fill my heart with love and compassion for you.
If this last statement makes you angry or tempts you to mock, then perhaps you should examine yourself as to why somebody asking to be filled with love for you would cause anger or mocking to spring up within you. There is only one who hates unconditional love, and that one is Satan. If hatred and anger fill your heart over someone loving you unconditionally, then I suggest you look at the source. That alone may be confirmation enough that the devil exists and his will is to destroy you.

Some Dude, Did you miss the last two elections.
Vote yes for "LIFE"
I am sure you advice on running a campaign will be duly noted my me and my leaders…
Detroit Lewis @ 3:12 pm
Amy - I feel sorry for you.
Angry Guy @ 3:50 pm
Amy, DL could ask you not pray for him, but he won't because he knows it doesn't matter. So instead I negate your prayer to Jebus by reciting an incantation from a book I read once and now beleive that it is, in fact, the one true book of healing. My book is centuries old, written by men of faith, and spread throught the world on the wings of salvation. Since I beleive it is real, and others around me affirm this by memorizing passages to spew at non-believers, it will most assuredly nullify your alternate incantation.
I'd wager that DL will read the book of Chopin one thousands times over before he reads Job once.
Some Dude @ 3:54 pm
"Some Dude, Did you miss the last two elections.

Okay, so you're pro-life. i get that. But if you really believed abortion = murder, why aren't the punishments the same? Shouldn't the doctor be locked up for life? Shouldn't the nurses be charged as accomplices? Shouldn't the mother be charged as an accessory?
Detroit Lewis @ 4:28 pm
I also like the comic strip 'Life in Hell' even though I don't believe in Hell or one-eared bunnies.
Steve @ 4:42 pm
Detroit - are you deleting dissenting comments on your blog? I left a comment a couple months back on a post you did where you revised the history of our nation to be secular since it's inception - my comment never showed up. And then today I just looked at your blog and it says 6 comments and only 4 come up on the one post and 2 of the 4 on the other. Maybe pingbacks are getting counted. You don't seem like one to censor free expression… o wait, yes you do oppose free speech… you think I have no first amendment rights. I forgot.
Question #2 - how many of you are there? Scott signs "l3wis" and also "detroit lewis". But then he shows up as Eggbert and ghost dude or angryguy. Perhaps these are all personalities inside one head?? I've been wrong before but that's what I suspect.
Amy @ 5:11 pm
DL:
Why, because I have the honor of fasting and praying for you?
I will add AG to my prayers as well. These fasts will commence on December 1. Watch for changes then.
Bret @ 5:12 pm
I guess the bible is right AGAIN when it says the gospel is "foolishness" to those who are perishing. The bible is also right AGAIN when it says "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under your feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces." - Jesus
How can you argue with that! Written over 2000 years ago and Jesus was right again. This Jesus that history can actually prove existed and even died, and rose again.

Angry Guy @ 5:13 pm
We are all one in the eyes of quantum physics.
Angry Guy @ 5:29 pm
Bret, the book that you are quoting wasn't written until almost a century AFTER Jebus died, and wasn't actually written by the diciple it was supposedly written by. So technically, your "over 2000 years ago" statement is false.
They can prove that he existed, and I don't doubt for one second that he was a very charismatic fella with lots of friends and political clout. His "Step Dad" (if you buy that immaculate conception line) is a direct decendant of King David. This would put him in line to fulfill old testament prophecies about the coming of their messiah.
Some carefully orchestrated water tricks and a few almost dead lepers later, and poof… MESSIAH! *jazz hands*
Teresa @ 5:32 pm
DL,
I don't understand why you're so angry. Didn't you "win"?-they're still allowed to legally murder babies in the womb. Shouldn't you be happy? You're still so full of hate, and still attacking Steve-why? To me, YOU seem like the hate-monger.
Steve @ 5:44 pm
Angry Guy and Friends - this is your warning. I will delete all future comments from you that contain cheap comments toward the Christian Faith and Jesus and the Bible that are clearly intended to be inflamatory and blasphemous. You can criticize me here but I won't provide a venue for you to mock Jesus. How come you don't mock Mohammed and do a cartoon disparaging that faith?
I will comment on the crap you just spewed about the Bible. You have no idea what you are talking about - you are merely parroting higher critical hermeneutics that unfortunately oozes from liberal schools today from professors who have no faith. The things you saying are easily blown out of the water by reputable scholarship.
Some Dude @ 5:49 pm
If we were all one person, it's be a lot cheaper for Mr. l3wis to buy us beer at Tommy Jack's.
And that "revisionist history" post I made a while back: that treaty was ratified by 100% of the US senate and signed by the president. It seems none of them believed this country was founded on Christian principles either.
Some Dude @ 5:50 pm
"The things you saying are easily blown out of the water by reputable scholarship."
Fire away!
Bret @ 5:53 pm
uhmm….excuse me….1900 years.(Hair splitter) The quotes still stand. And Jesus had no political clout sorry to burst your bubble. But when he comes back, he will come as King and unless you do a 180, you're screwed. But that's your CHOICE. Don't blow it.
Angry Guy @ 5:58 pm
Nice to see that censorship is alive and well in America.
(Most)Everything I said is based on facts. The book of Matthew was written decades after Jesus was gone. Scholars, not me, people with reputable scholarships agree:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Clark_Kee
(I know, it's WIKI, but Kee existed and was both a professor and a christian.) Use the Googles is you don't beleive me.
If you truley follow the Bible as a literal interpretation of God's will, know it completely.
I know I'm right. Prove me wrong.
You're a christian, so forgive me.
Bret @ 6:16 pm
Hair Splitter aka Angry Guy aka whatever you call yourself
You don't offend me, I'm not the one you should be asking for forgiveness. But this dialogue is done. The quotes still stand.
No more good news for you.
Steve @ 6:17 pm
SomeDude, Angry Guy-
Torpedo number one is FF Bruce's "The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable?" I'll even buy it for you if you promise to read it.
http://www.amazon.com/New-Testament-Documents-They-Reliable/dp/0802822193/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227049802&sr=8-1
This book is a mountain liberal scholars have never been able to climb. When you are done with that let me know and I'll point you to torpedo number two which has to do with the prophecies and person of Jesus.
Are they using Professors Kee's books now at Augie? Sounds like you are fresh out of an Augie religion class. FF Bruce is just what the doctor orders!
You never answered my question about deleting posts on your blog.
For those who wonder about the revisionist history comments above… these agry guys are dead wrong about the Treaty of Tripoli. My friend Bob Ellis over at Dakota voice explained why…

Pingbacks are counted as comments on my site.

Amy, I'll eat a steak for you tonight, I got some new hot sauce for it too, it's called 'hellfire' yummy.
mr. o w kenobe @ 7:36 pm
The reason why dl will never make a cartoon disparaging Islam is because he is afraid of dying. dl knows that he can attack Jesus all he wants and no one would ever call for his head, attack Mohammed and he would be able to clearly see his butt without a mirror.

You are exactly right, I don't have to worry about Christian terrorists bombing me, unless of course I am in an abortion clinic.
Angry Guy @ 9:29 am
Buy me a book. I'll read it. I'll buy you one.
http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Blood-Grail-Michael-Baigent/dp/0440136482/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227104341&sr=8-2
I think we'll approach each others book with the same level of contempt. I said it before. I have no doubt as to whether Jesus was a real person whose words and messages influences millions of people. I'm going to need more proof that he was anything more than a human being in the right place and time with the right pedigree. I might repent on my deathbed, but until then I'll need him to knock on my door and ask for my vote like every other republican.
Amy @ 10:14 am
AG-
Thanks for the prayer request. I'll add that to the growing list for you.
It will be really cool when Jesus proves to you, in a very short while, that he is fully God and fully man. I also appreciate your concession that you feel you may need "fire" insurance, i.e., "I may repent on my deathbed." I pray that repentance for you will only lead to the death of your "old man" and that you will live many additional years knowing your True Savior before He calls you home.
DL - that last comment is so "lasterday." Christians don't bomb abortion clinics. There are a lot of people who are not Christian who hate the killing of innocents in the womb. Because they are not constrained by the Holy Spirit living in them, they can be tempted by the devil to fight murder with violence. Christians do not condone this violence, we condemn it along with the violence done to infants in the abortion clinic. Our weapons are much more powerful and our targets are not brick and mortar, nor flesh and blood. You will soon see for yourself the effects of these "weapons" of prayer and fasting, as God begins to challenge your heart and mind and you become a new creature in Christ.
I am very excited about these prayer assignments, BTW. Anybody else want to join me? Come on! It's a new campaign "Adopt a Choicer." Not kidding, totally serious.
PC @ 10:39 am
Fellow Christian bloggers,
I know the level of frustration many of us have after recent events in our states and nation. In spite of all that has happened, we must remember to be salt and light. I feel as though we need to remember we were all lost like many of the angry people posting here.
I certainly was much like DL, not believing in God or the devil, heaven or hell and living it out, knowing deep down I was missing something.
Let's remember what Jesus said in his most painful moment, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do" (Luke 23:34)
Could we pray for these folks in the midst of insults and accusations?
I want to encourage all who follow Jesus to walk according to the spirit and not to get caught up in the flesh.
"A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1)
Detroit Lewis @ 11:37 am
Amy-
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I have another prayer assignment for you; pray that Gawd will give you a brain that thinks for itself.
Some Dude @ 11:46 am
Mr. Kenobe, I will post the first satirical thing on Islam I can find without violating a copyright - provided I can make a snarky post about it. I doubt Mr. L3wis will take it down.
Amy @ 12:21 pm
DL-
Let's review:
"I look forward to the day when I can call you my brother, Scott, and even now am asking God our Father to fill my heart with love and compassion for you.
If this last statement makes you angry or tempts you to mock, then perhaps you should examine yourself as to why somebody asking to be filled with love for you would cause anger or mocking to spring up within you. There is only one who hates unconditional love, and that one is Satan. If hatred and anger fill your heart over someone loving you unconditionally, then I suggest you look at the source. That alone may be confirmation enough that the devil exists and his will is to destroy you"
Your most recent post is making my point for me. Do you know that the mocking only causes more compassion and determination to rise up in my heart?
Angry Guy @ 1:10 pm
Amy,
Is there a point where we mock you so much that compassion and determination to save my soul is all you have time for? Is there an equation somewhere to dictate the amount of time you should dedicate to my salvation, kind of like tithing but without the IRS exemptions? Do you actually use the name "Angry Guy" when you pray? That would be pretty funny. Or are you just lumping all of us hethens into one big group? Next time we all get together for SoutDaColaFest, I'll be sure to propose a toast to all of you sheep and especially Doohickey. I might even fast a little before hand for the salvation of DL's checkbook.
mr. o w kenobe @ 1:12 pm
PC,
You are correct, we need to be salt and light. I had something all "snarky" typed up but have decided to not respond in an unkind gesture. Thank you for the encouragement.
Complete Faith @ 2:13 pm
I like the word "snarky"
Amy @ 2:27 pm
AG:
Well. It isn't time, but intensity of compassion we are talking about here, my friend. Jesus says: "No greater love has any (wo)man than to lay down their life for a friend."
The intensity of my fasting and prayers for your eternal souls will be given by the Holy Spirit. I am asking Him to make the intensity of my love for you and DL greater than the intensity of your anger and the mocking spirits which influence you.
The Bible says "Greater is He who is in (me) than he that is in the world."
I am counting on the Greater One to do a greater work. It is not my work but His and He will not be outdone. Jesus said "They will know your are Mine by the love you have for one another." I intend to make manifest His word toward you. A good question for you to answer would be why does this bother you so much?
Angry Guy @ 4:14 pm
It isn't so much that it bothers me as much as it makes me a little nauseated. Your preachy overblown piety is a total turnoff. You're wasting your time lady. Find something better to do with your time. Go out. Have a drink. Make some friends. Stop being so serious and live life the way it was intended. For the now. If you worry about when some stranger is going to knock on your door to call you "home", you'll never experience all of the wonderful things this world has to offer. Jesus told me just now he wants you to go on a cruise to Haiti and save someone who wants to be saved.
