The two statements are nowhere near the same. But honestly, yeah. Only religious people believe in that "myth". Prove to me God has ever had "a hand" in someone's death. Has anyone ever seen God save a life? Why is it a "miracle" when someone lives through a catastrophic event or disease, but it's "God's will" if they die? So there's some Supreme Being overlooking all living forms, and he points his big finger and goes "Eeenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe. God says it's now time for YOU to go."?
The two statements are exactly the same.

Maybe in your mind. Someone referencing God when a person dies is a bit different that condemning a woman for having an abortion because God presumably disagrees with that edict is not the same to me.
Regardless, why would I want either in a political position if they would in any way be influenced on making a decision that could affect EVERYONE, whether they are a religious person or not, based on their religious convictions or beliefs?

so you expect the Republican Party to speak out against these two but don't expect president to speak out against his pastors words concerning the innocent lives taken by terrorists?

Maybe in any rational person's mind who is intellectually honest. If it's god's will when someone dies it stands to REASON it would also be his will as to when someone becomes pregnant.

Would it also be god's will that Obama is president? And that Obama and Romney haven't released their college records?

Brother. Still with the Rev. Wright. If we're going with that theory, let's have Romney drop out of the race today, with all the secrets and weird crap that come out of Salt lake City. Rev. Wright is a pastor for a church. He's not running for a political office. He's not making legal decisions for millions of Americans. I can just imagine the kind of preacher/pastor/whatever Akin and Mourdock have....

You first have to prove there's a God in the first place to make that decision....

But 0bama follows his teachings just like Romulous Maximus follows the teachings of his church, what's the difference.

No, I don't. It's a believe. And there is far more evidence to show there is a god than there is to show 0bama is a competent president. Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck

He is not a Republican and therefore worthy of voting for still.

Yeah. Funny how religion didn't matter in 2008 when the videos of 0bama's spiritual mentor broke.
Especially since McCain never cited religion for his decision basis...

Actually he doesn't. Obama has always stated it isn't his place to tell Rev. Wright what he can or can't say on his pulpit. Show me instances where Obama has specifically followed everything Wright has claimed in his sermons...

You don't sit and listen to him for 20 years if you aren't buying what he's selling.

Then what does that say about Romney and the teachings of the Mormons? Does he actually believe God lives near the planet Kolob?
He might. So what? We aren't electing a preacher. Nothing the Mormons teach is as extreme as the crap 0bama sat and listened to for 20 years.

Not that we're aware of. yet....
When's the last time Obama even sat in on one of Wright's sermons? I thought the guy was based out of Chicago. Is Obama taking AF1 on a trip home every Sunday jus so he can listen to one of his inspirational sermons? Republican's keep beating this horse to death, yet they never talk about some of these fire-and-brimstone preacher's in the South that I'm sure many Congressional and other elected officials listen to every Sunday. They're the one's actually creating and passing the bills. All Obama does is either veto them or sign them into law.

He only left the church after Wright started making some of those statements in public events
