Democrat representative Emanuel Cleaver caused a stir online after he ended his congressional prayer with the words “amen and awoman.”

Mr Cleaver was invited to deliver the prayer opening up the 117th Congress on Sunday, when he decided to introduce a gesture towards gender neutrality.

“We ask it in the name of the monotheistic God… God known by many names and by many different faiths. Amen, and awoman,” said Mr Cleaver, a representative from Missouri and an ordained United Methodist pastor.

It comes after a committee proposed changes in house rules to “honour all gender identities”, and eliminate gendered words like "mother," "father," "he," and "she" in favour of gender-neutral terms.

However, it received strong criticism from Republicans and several others as they pointed out that amen does not refer to gender but means “so be it” in Latin.

Are we turning into fucking Africa? How the fuck a moron like that could be given time in the fucking Congress? This is a Zimbabwian level of stupidity.

Sidenote. The Methodist church was invaded by Commies, Feminists, and Fags decades ago. It's hell-bent on destroying traditional Christianity.

Go to any Methodist church and I guarantee the pastor will be a female but look like a 16 year old boy, and there will be rainbow flag as far as the eye can see.

From Middle English amen, from Old English, from Ecclesiastical Latin āmēn, from Ancient Greek ἀμήν (amḗn), from Biblical Hebrew אָמֵן‎ (ʾāmēn, “certainly, truly”)


But it was a good move on that guy's part, because we are talking about it. The whole point is to get attention. Attention == votes == money. And it got attention.

I finally heard a convincing explanation for this: Churches need money, and gays have money because they don't have children.

They also need bodies in the pews. Best not to piss anyone off.

I personally agree with Representative Cleaver. 'Amen' should be changed to 'Ah, Pussy, Ain't It Sweet'.
