Republican Congressman Randy Weber from Texas broke down in tears on Wednesday night of April 28 as he called up to God to forgive America for allowing gay couples to get married. Weber was speaking at the annual “Washington – A Man of Prayer” event in Washington, D.C., hosted by anti-gay pastor Jim Garlow. The event was also attended by Paul Ryan, Senator Steve Daines and Rep. Tim Walberg. During the 90 minutes, in total 20 members of Congress took to the podium to lead the gathering in prayer.

“We have endeavored to try and kick your word out of public schools,” Weber lamented.

“Father, we have endeavored to take the Bible 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,” Weber continued.

“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.”

Many people who heard the speech responded negatively and some started crying, agreeing to the fact on Weber’s claim to America being in sin.
