Further Theo-Fascism From The Campaign Trail

Who do these Republicans choose for their intros & prayers at campaign events? Why, religious types, of course. The religious types who believe that there are other gawds (how ecumenical of them) & that "our" (Xian AmeriKKKa's) gawd is menaced by other gawds. Not much of a fucking gawd that you losers worship, is it?
Unhelpful for establishing the tone McCain sought in Davenport was the Rev. Arnold Conrad, past pastor of the Grace Evangelical Free Church. His prayer before McCain arrived at the convention center blocks from the Mississippi River appeared to dismiss faiths other than Christianity and cast the election as a referendum on God himself. "I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god — whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons," Conrad said. "And Lord, I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they're going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and Election Day," he said.
St. Nick on a stick! Really, what goes through their minds? Are all the dirty foreigners praying for Sen. Obama, "for a variety of reasons?" We're betting that fear of Sen. McCain bombing the living shit out of their countries is one reason they're praying for his opponent. Let's see if their gawd(s) will protect them when Jeezis's Avenger gets in the White House. And what kind of a gawd needs morons to pray to him w/ advice? Can't His Holy Fucking Majesty in the Sky figure out what needs to be done w/o some retired loser trying to bend his ear?

I love the idea that someone who believes in God - you know, who's supposed to be all powerful and all knowing - thinks God needs someone to watch His back.

Is Pastor Conrad going to taunt Buddha to meet God out back of the stadium bleachers so God can kick Buddha's ass?

And I guess Comparative Religions wasn't part of Pastor Conrad's curriculum at Divinity School.
