McCain Dumps Hagee

This relationship was never meant to last. Just like I knew I probably shouldn't have gone out with that girl in the "Free Tibet" t-shirt, John McCain never should have courted rotund religious schlock-meister John Hagee. Of course, he was only trying to mend his image as a God-hating, Ted Kennedy-loving, fiscally responsible liberal in Republican's clothing, but Barack Obama joined Jeremiah Wright's church for political reasons as well, and look where he ended up. (A couple of weeks ago, I mean. Not now. Now, he's most likely going to be the next president, which kind of makes my analogy fall apart.) Anyway, McCain finally gave Hagee the old heave ho (and with a man of Hagee's size, that's a lot of heaving) after discovering a sermon where Hagee called Hitler a tool God used to restore Israel as a Jewish state. McCain says he was offended by the remarks, but let's look at this from a theistic perspective. If you believe in an omnipotent, omniscient god, doesn't everything happen according to his will? Or, like the Catholic church, did God witness the holocaust and just choose not to do anything about it? More details here.
