The rule of thumb is that no one cares about the crazy priest when we’re talking the Republican party, so I’m sure tomorrow this story will vanish, but really. This guy fails at life in about ten different directions. Check this out from a recent McCain rally from Rev. Arnold Conrad.

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 [McCain’s] opponent wins for a variety of reasons.

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 would step forward and honor your own name in all that happens between now and Election Day.

Oh Lord, we just commit this time to you, move among us, make your presence very well felt as we are gathered here today in Jesus’s name I pray.

First off, I didn’t know “Hindu” was a deity like Buddha and Allah. So watch out, there’s a lot of people praying to Hindu for Obama to win, and there’s like eighty billion of those people.

Secondly, this is why prayer is stupid. This guy is asking the Lord God Himself to intervene in the election to protect his reputation. I’m assuming he thinks God doesn’t care about democracy, but the real noodle-scratcher is what happens when Obama wins. Is Rev. Conrad going to think God wasn’t able to “guard his reputation”, or that he chose not to?

Finally, it really cracks me up that his reasoning isn’t that McCain would be more godly or that Obama is in any way un-godly, no. He’s just having a theological dick-waving contest and seems to think God was upstairs playing Medal of Honor and didn’t realize some people don’t worship him, and if this brown dude wins it means people won’t like him or something. I don’t know, sometimes it’s hard to wade through the river of stupid these people spill.
