Camacho Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 That diabolical "prayer" from this Congressman! I'm gagging at him and the others crying in the video! towleroad.com Congressman Weeps as He Begs God to Forgive America for Allowing Gay Marriage: WATCH by Michael Fitzgerald April 28, 2017 | 7:49am Republican Congressman Randy Weber broke down in a puddle of man-tears on Wednesday night as he begged God to forgive America for allowing gay couples to get married. Texas Rep. Weber was speaking at the annual “Washington – A Man of Prayer” event in Washington, D.C., hosted by anti-gay pastor Jim Garlow which was also attended by Paul Ryan, Senator Steve Daines and Rep. Tim Walberg. During what must have been a scintillating 90 minutes, in total 20 members of Congress took to the podium to lead the gathering in prayer. According to Right Wing Watch, when Weber took time out from doing his actual job, he repeatedly choked up while begging God to forgive America for the sins of legal abortion and marriage equality. Weber also kinda took his god’s name in vain when he appropriated the Lord’s Prayer, saying “thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth here in the halls of Congress.” Some of his audience are also seen to be openly weeping at his beautiful thoughts while the majority have their eyes closed in a losing attempt to look like Christians. He continued: “We have endeavored to try and kick your word out of public schools. “Father, we have endeavored to take the * out of classrooms, the Ten Commandments off the walls. Oh, Lord, forgive us. Father, we think we’re so smart, we have replaced your word and your precepts with drug-sniffing dogs, with metal detectors, with uniformed police officers in our schools. Oh, Lord, forgive us. “Father, we have trampled on your holy institution of holy matrimony and tried to rewrite what it is and we’ve called it an alternate lifestyle. Father, oh Father, please forgive us. “Lord, we have gone to killing the most innocent amongst. “Your servant Moses warned in Deuteronomy 19 for us to choose life so that we and all our descendants might live. Father, we’re killing our descendants and we’re calling it a choice. Oh, God in heaven, forgive us, please.” He also suggests that god will be very, very upset about America’s national debt. Watch Weber lose the plot below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 They should audition for Bold and Beautiful with all of that fake crying and praying. The hypocrisy though is breath taking. Bringing up about metal detectors in school when they have to have them to see who brings guns into schools. Yet when gun massacres happen as they do so often in America, they don't want any tightening of the laws. Innocent people are killed by nutters with guns but they are more concerned about consenting adults who are not hurting anybody but wanting to be able to marry and celebrate their love like everyone else can.

XXL Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 How creepy and bizarre I can't believe there's like two or three different USA coexisting at the same time. Seriously about time those religious nutters were wiped off America's political system, whatever happened to secular by constitution? The ones asking God for forgiveness for the sins of other people are the most hilarious ones I have a Catholic-raised turned Atheist turned Evangelical aunt who is just as nut as that. She really is convinced of all this stuff, "the lord has come to forgive you", the damage mental programming can do, of any shape or colour, is quite astonishing. Like, look at your own hypocrisy and self-centred bullshit you call spirituality first bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXL Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 And while we're at it someone should tell him that God will be also very upset about the millions of civilians, of which many were/are children, blown up over the decades by American bombs during wars voted by his party and based on lies that only serve to maintain USA USA USA(demented, irrational, herd-like chanting playing in the background) hegemony in the world The irony is that those wars and the national debt he mentions are tightly linked to each other There are always multiple layers of irony and bullshit in this type of stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VogueMusic Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 NEVER underestimate the power of religion in the fabric of American politics and culture. NEVER. I think a lot of folks fooled themselves into thinking the religious right lost their power during the Obama years, but best believe these folks are in it for the LONG haul. Do some research into the current state of the religious right, and no, they're not going anywhere without a fight. A great deal of them are just biding their time until Pence possibly can become President. He is the poster child for the 'Christian Caliphate' they want to set up. And if hitching their tent to the Trump train (no matter how many of them insisted they were "disgusted" by Trump) means they ride to victory, so be it. As long as certain key issues like abortion, LGBT issues, women's issues, issues of the family, etc. are on the Republican card, and not the Democrat card, they will never cross over. Just because religion wasn't at the center of the last election, doesn't mean it still isn't the big elephant in the room. Remember, 81% of white evangelicals voted for the Trump/Pence ticket. And if you think the "religious liberty" battles waged state-wide are ridiculous, wait until they try to pass the federal version of that through Congress.

Yes, it is just as worrying with Pence than with Trump. Pence and his followers crave power to implement their specific biased views and want to turn the clock back on everything that has been gained in regards to women's issues, LGBT rights etc. Trump is a self interested opportunist that wants attention and power. Scary combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you think the "religious liberty" battles waged state-wide are ridiculous, wait until they try to pass the federal version of that through Congress Very interesting, telling and scary at the same time. Thank you for explaining and pointing this out. When you look at the roots of the United States, historically speaking, these religious bigots having infiltrated politics stand against the very actual original fabric of the country. A beacon of tolerance and hope for people escaping from Reformation's religious persecutions that had plagued Europe in the 1500s and 1600s, essentially a secular new experiment that somehow turned wrong. For what in many ways is a country that's been at the forefront of progressive emancipation of humankind, last but not least its long held contribution and shaping of contemporary popular culture, internationally When you look at Evangelism up close it doesn't appear that different from the same fanatism and coercive dogmatism typical of Catholicism, two faces of the same repressive, authoritarian coin in my view. A lot of people are actually unaware of and underestimate how much influence the Vatican holds over American political hierarchies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
