Congressional opening prayer ends with amen and the less known awomen?

Doesn’t it?

John‬ ‭15:18‬ ‭
If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

It does not.
If the scripture you quoted is what you meant, then, the way you framed it, in my opinion, is wrong. The "world" as Jesus used in this verse would include, in our present time, people who call themselves Christians, who are not truly Christians in the real sense of the word. And, these people cut across all Christian denominations.

If by people calling themselves Christians who aren’t really Christians..wouldn’t they be included in hating God? They for whatever reasons won’t come to God in the right way..i.e. His way..so they do hate Him and His way by refusing to come to God the way He gave. Reminds me of Cain honestly.

Genesis‬ ‭4:3-7‬ ‭
So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground. Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering; but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell. Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.”​

I only pray that God open our eyes of understanding

I have no problem with that

15For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.

18I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength, 20which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, 21far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

22And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church, 23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Ephesians 1

Amen is not a masculine word, so im not sure why he is trying to invent a female word to use alongside amen. Its just silly.

Its all about keeping the gender neutral narrative going I guess...it just keeps getting dumber and dumber though.

Just thinking. What are we going to do with all words with the word "men" embedded in them. Looks like we are going to have to rewrite the English Dictionary.

this has slowly happened with things such as
Mailman now MailCARRIER
Fireman now FireFIGHTER
and those are just 2 that come to the top of my head
it's been subtle, as more and more women have taken on these roles.

Founding fathers being called the framers...women had nothing to do with it..but we can’t leave it as founding fathers.

What about the men in the word women? Or the men in environment? Or the men mention? If we are going to attack men in English words, we need to go whole hog.

Just thought that I would mention.

Womention would have used a lot more words

That is ridiculous! I heard that word for the first time last month on a TV show. I was confused at first but then I got what she was trying to imply. She always closed her prayers with "amen" but I guess she's changed to appeal to the gender neutrality agenda.
