The saying "it's my calling" doesn't mean they were hearing voices in there head.
God has a purpose for everyone and they believe that this is theirs.
You are twisting it.

I am scared to death when I hear people life Perry's wife saying things like we believe its our calling or god wanted me to run. It is very nerve racking for me to consider that many of the people running for president actually believe the voices in there head is god talking to them. They will have the power to launch nukes. There is no way for us to know if one of these people wont wake from a dream and believe it was god telling them to go to war or worse.

Where then does this belief in their purpose come from if not voices or thoughts in their head? To be called implies comunication does it not? It it a sense or feeling? Either way I don't want anyone who thinks god is directing them to be in charge of a nuclear arsenal.
Osama Bin Laden believed he was doing gods work. How is that any different?edit on 13-10-2011 by Xeven because: (no reason given)
