In Jesus' Name, Vote McCain

At a McCain rally, an invocation:

"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," [Pastor] 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,"

And I imagined Christianism? (Hat tip: Ambers. Quote expanded and updated via AP.)
