DAVENPORT, IA (KSLA) - The pastor who delivered a prayer for a John McCain rally in Iowa appeared to call on God to keep Barack Obama from becoming president.

Rev. Arnold Conrad spoke before Senator McCain appeared at the morning rally in Davenport's Convention Center.

Conrad began his invocation by saying that the Lord's reputation is involved in everything that happens between now and November.

He went on to say that people all over the world are praying to their God for an Obama victory, and that if Obama wins the Lord's reputation would be harmed.

"...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."

McCain did not comment about the prayer either during the rally or afterward.

But a spokesperson for the campaign said questions about the candidates religion distract voters from the real issues.

I personally may not agree with this guy but is he truly any more of a nut job than say the raciest bigot pastor Wright?

If that's the way he feels, that's the way he feels. I seriously doubt that John McCain had foreknowledge of what the minister was going to say.

As a minister myself, I have a direct line to God, and I happen to know he has more important things to worry about than this election, namely, saving the Dallas Cowboys' season.

The God of Obama is the God of abortion (murder) and perversion. Period.

This is one of the more ridiculously stupid things I've heard anyone say.

"The god of abortion and perversion".

LOL.

I consider myself conservative and religious and I find this man's attitude and his comments absurd and embarassing. He's obviously misguided about a number of things, including what ought to be in the heart of a religious man.

Your god is a baby killer.

Well fellow, when you lay claim to the creation of EVERYTHING, you just have to accept the mess you created.
