Before McCain’s arrival at a rally Saturday, a local clergyman delivered an invocation that instructed the almighty on his handling of the coming election.“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,” said Rev. Arnold Conrad. “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. ”

Now THAT’S Desperation.  The Reverend has to appeal to Diety Pride to entreat him (er… “Him”) to get John McCain’s victory.  Lest the other Gods, such as that great God Hindu and that great God Buddha, Lord it over his God.  He knows he cares more than the Almighty, and the only way to get the Almighty to care is by pointing to how the other gods on the block are ganging up on him.  Hindu, Buddha, Allah… those gods.  Hindu the God.  Buddha the God.  Allah the God.

Reverend Arnold Conrad really needs to get together with General Boykin:  “Well you know what I knew, that my God was bigger than his.  I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol.”

But Boykin at least seems to know that his god is bigger, unlike the fretful Conrad.  No word on whether Boykin also thinks there is a god named Hindu, a god named Buddha, and one named Allah.
