A pastor known for his opposition to
gay rights has criticized an On Top Magazine story about him
tweeting a parody video of himself confessing to be a “homosexual
sodomite.”
“To think for just one second that
you sadistic sodomites would be out there rejoicing thinking that
somehow or another I've joined your ranks just goes to show you just
how sad and beyond stupid and wretched you are,” pastor James David
Manning of the Atlah Worldwide Church in Harlem, New York blasted in
a 5-minute video released Monday.
The original video
by satirist Adam Reake mashed up audio from various video sermons
produced by Manning in which he promoted a story fabricated by the
fake news site Huzlers.com about Starbucks flavoring their coffee
with semen.
Manning concluded that Starbucks is
“getting this semen from sodomites.”
In Reake's video, Manning's cartoon
character confesses to being a “homosexual sodomite,” saying:
“Now I know why I go to Starbucks.”

headline of a story about Manning tweeting the “confession”
to his followers appears in his
latest video.
“You know, if I were a sodomite …
I'd go hang myself from the nearest oak tree. There is no way on
God's green Earth would I ever want to spend one moment as a wretched
sodomite,” Manning said.
In conclusion, Manning added: “Go
hang yourself all you sodomites who for one second would think I
would join or want to be a part of such a wretched God-forsaken, if
you will, piece of humanity. Go hang yourself and take your lesbo
mamas with you when you go. … You can call me the sodomite slayer.”
