God smacked down?
As reported many places (here the WSJ's Washington Wire), Pastor Arnold Conrad introduced John McCain at an Oct 11 rally in Davenport, Iowa, with this prayer:
"There are millions of people around this world praying to their god — whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his [McCain’s] opponent wins, for a variety of reasons," said Arnold Conrad, former pastor of Grave Evangelical Free Church. "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 in all that happens between now and Election Day."So the question is: Did the rest of the gods get together and smack Conrad's god down big time? Or is God changed a lot from the Old Testament days, not minding if he looks a bit small in a good cause (which is to say that Conrad's cause is not)?
Or (just maybe) he doesn't actually exist?
(ps - note that Conrad seems to think "Hindu" is a god. Oy, as they say, vay.)

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->Conrad gets the Jeopardy buzzer for thinking Buddha is a God, too. Doesn't leave very many to duke it out.
You're right to point out that really the only way Obama won is that all the other gods teamed up on the Christian one. You know if it were a one-on-one tournament (or a Bruce Lee movie, where each opponent waits his turn), McCain would have been the next President.
I sure hope the OT god doesn't exist. I'd be living in constant fear now that I just got a haircut. --Lev 19:27
