McCain campaign commands you all to stop praying to "Hindu"

[ck4829]

At a McCain rally at Davenport Pastor Arnold Conrad, who gave the invocation, said:

I would also add, 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.

I have never heard of this "Hindu" God before, could someone enlighten me on who He/She is? What text does He/She appear in? How many people worship Him/Her? And on a scale of 1 to 10, how psychotic do you think the McCain campaign is?

1. These Christian Phalangists must be stopped.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. There go Bobby Jindal's chances in '12................

[tekisui]

3. No one prays to "Buddha", either.

Buddha is what we are, not a god. Poor ignorant fundies, they understand so little.

[KatyMan]

14. And isn't Allah

the same as Jehovah/Yahweh/Christian God? So a Muslim praying to Allah is praying to the same God as a Christian. I'm sensing a conflict of interest here, and perhaps the Almighty should recuse himself...

[CrownPrinceBandar]

16. Yup............

They're all references to the same Semitic God, the God of Abraham/Ibrahim.

[KatyMan]

18. The

Desert Mountain Thunder God, as I believe Joseph Campbell It/Him.

4. A preacher that has the authority to call out God?

God, you better, cause your reputation is on the line. If this is the miracle they're seeking to prove the existence of god, I think they'll all be sadly disappointed.

[Kitty Herder]

5. O.K. One question, though.

Who the fuck is Hindu? Never heard of him.

[peekaloo]

6. Do not offer my God a peanut!

Apparently "Our" God is a slacker God who needs to be called out and given a pep talk.

[Ian David]

7. So, if Obama wins, it isn't becaue god wills it... it's because god is a pussy.

What a small, shitty, tin-plated god that Pastor Arnold Conrad must worship.

[Buzz Clik]

8. And what about all those people praying the Atheism? err... Atheist... whoever it is they pray to.

I love it when religious leaders are dumb as posts.

[get the red out]

9. You can't be "Christian" and a Democrat

that's the message I see in this. Also, he is saying there are "other Gods" than the "Christian" God, and isn't that sacritigious in his religion? Guys like this go way out there, even by standards of their own religion. Nothing but politicians. No higher or critical thinking allowed.

[moggie]

10. Shouldn't a pastor be knowledgeable about religion?

Isn't that kind of a job requirement?

[Supersedeas]

19. not if the 'pastor' committed to his service to a Political Party and scoring political points

[Kookaburra]

21. Not preachers of the "jack-leg" persuasion

And that's what this ass-hat sounds like to me.

[Kookaburra]

11. I might be showing my age here, but....

Remember those old Kennel Ration dog food commercials from the 70s? I was but a wee child then, but I remember the little tune:

"My dog is bigger than your dog. My dog is bigger than yours. My dog is bigger 'cause he eats kennel ration. My dog is bigger than yours."

That's what this reminds me of.

13. Oh my god!

These are seriously the stupidest people on earth.

This Yaweh must be one totally brain-damaged god to have created followers this stupid.
Either that, or He's really embarrassed by what He hath wrought.
Hey Yaweh... it might be time to clean house a little, if you know what I mean?
C'mon, pal. These people are making you look like the idiot god of the brain-dead.
How 'bout a little smiting and smoting, not of your enemies this time, but of your followers?
You can do it, Yaweh, you can do it!

[SteelPenguin]

15. Don't you have to take a comparative religion course to be a pastor?

Who is this two bit hick?

[ContinentalOp]

17. Haha, so he admits that other gods exist and may be more powerful than his god?

:rofl:

[hootinholler]

20. Scale of 1-10?

11

-Hoot

[RainDog]

24. did you say...

(for the Spinal Tap fans)

[TahitiNut]

22. 50 million Taoists ignored again

[dixiegrrrrl]

23. The Christain God's reputation is on the line?

The white right wing preacher man has the power to determine what defines his God's reputation???

"My god is bigger than your god...neener neener".

Stupid, stupider, stupedist.
