If I'm McCain I'm not going there. Setting himself up as a new Messiah and belittling Obama as some kind of Messiah-wannabe.
McCain needs to cut out the attacks on religion, his mockery of religion. We know that McCain has called religious leaders the "agents of intolerance," that he is having a hard time getting the enthusiastic support of people of faith, and that he himself doesn't go to church. (Although, it seems, he, at the impressionable age of 71 or 72 was thinking about getting baptized! How convenient to wait till an election year to "get religion"!)
Who can look at this presumptuous picture and not see what he's suggesting? Perhaps something touching on the Rapture doctrine. Help from Heaven in him. John McCain as the second coming, the Prince of Peace!
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:2,6)John McCain is treading some dangerous ground, holy ground, when he starts ransacking the religious traditions to make his cheap political points. He is not the second coming, mark that well! He offers peace and suggests staying in Iraq a hundred years and more wars. That's "peace, peace" where there is no peace.
