Full name of clergy is Rev. Arnold Conrad, past pastor of the Grace Evangelical Free Church. Full quote:

“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,” Conrad said.

“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 with all that happens between now and Election Day.”

Response from Iowa McCain campaign: “While we understand the important role that faith plays in informing the votes of Iowans, questions about the religious background of the candidates only serve to distract from the real questions in this race about Barack Obama’s judgment, policies and readiness to lead as commander in chief.”

1. Matthew 7

Looking at what this Conrad guy said, I am reminded of this from Matthew 7;

Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. (Matthew 7:15-16)

12. I wonder if 'their God' hates Catholics as well...

b/c last time I looked Joe Biden was a Baptized/Confirmed/fully practicing Roman Catholic who very much believes in God. (not to mention the obvious of Barack Obama being a full fleged Christian) :eyes:
