U.S. Congressman Prays to Hindu God
January 8, 2021
WE see everywhere the news story of the Missouri congressman who opened Congress this week with a prayer. There is supposedly a big to-do over the fact that he said “Amen and a-woman” at the end of the prayer.
But the ending of the prayer is a minor novelty in comparison to what Congressman Emmanuel Cleaver (D-Missouri), who is a Methodist, said in the body of the prayer.
And dare I ask, oh Lord, peace even in this chamber now and evermore,” he said while concluding his prayer.
“We ask it in the name of the monotheistic god, Brahma, and God known by many names by many different faiths. Amen and a-woman.” (Source.)
Not only does Cleaver during Christmastide open Congress with a prayer to the god Brahma of polytheistic Hinduism, but he makes a nonsensical and blasphemous claim that many gods are “monotheistic.”
Not a single headline in literally thousands of news outlets drew attention to this fact.
