I Am Not Sure God is Interested That Way

According to several reports, the following was part of an invocation at a McCain Rally in Iowa yesterday.

"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," [Pastor] 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,"

AP reported that the McCain campaign distanced themselves from the prayer.

As well they should, as should every Christian who still believes that God is far more than an American political rallying cry.
