Sarah Palin on the war in Iraq:

“pray for our military men and women, who are striving for what is right for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God, that’s what we have to make sure we’re praying for. There is a plan, and that plan is God’s plan.”

Well like I said with Billy, it's hard to explain to someone if they're not very experienced with Christianity. When someone says they think "X is God's will" it's not necessarily implying that they know God's will. Nobody knows. It's simply a feeling. But yes, I can see where a religious layperson would find a statement like that presumptuous. It is trying to find God's will for your life that is one of the main ideas in Christianity and I'm certain other similar religions.

which is why 'religious' talk doesn't belong in politics
