Minister delivers divisive invocation at McCain event.

The Iowa Independent reports that a minister who spoke at John McCain’s rally in Davenport, IA today injected a divisive statement into his invocation. Here’s what Pastor Arnold Conrad said:

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. And Lord, I pray that you will 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.

2. I really wish my country wasn't going down this road.

Invocation at campaign rallys??

People have lost their minds. Bill Mayer is right.
"my God is better than your god" is going to be the end of our planet.

3. And it's a totally false premise. Obama is Christian and so are most of his supporters.

So this is another attempt to frame him as Muslim. I'm so sick of this bullshit.

4. Does McCain go to church? Except for funerals I've never seen it...Hypocrit...n/t

5. Doesn't show much faith in God

Why worry about what other people are praying to their gods if you feel yours is the one and only?

6. Hah!

I'm certainly no bible expert but doesn't it say "You shall have no other gods before me" so it's not that there are no other gods, just that they have to worship a particular one.

7. Desperation directed at the lowest form of their base

I'm not sure who they are trying to bring in with type of approach. At first, I thought they were just scorching the earth to turn people against Obama to make it hard on him if he's elected, but even those people are turning on the McCain campaign as a result.

8. Sorry, Paster, my Easter Bunny is bigger than your god
