'''James David Manning''' {{lived|1947}} is the chief [[pastor]] at the "All The Land Anointed Holy" (ATLAH)  World Missionary Church, in [[New York City]].  Manning is most infamous for his virulent opposition to [[gay rights]]. Manning has frequently stated that not only does he wish [[LGBT]] people to be stoned to death, but for [[Jesus]] himself to do the stoning. (Good luck with that!)  Manning is notorious for using ATLAH's church letter boards to express his toxic [[homophobia]], which often rivals that of the [[Westboro Baptist Church]]. Manning has his own Internet series, the ''Manning Report''. 

==Themes==
Manning frequently recycles arguments in his preachings, noticeably on the ''Manning Report''. One such example is his long-standing claim that Starbucks' lattes use semen from [[gay]] men, which is intended as a means of engaging in [[oral sex]] without the participants knowing each other.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtvNDt1Q8S4 YouTube &mdash; Sodomites Drink Animal Semen At Starbucks] - ''note that no animal semen is mentioned''.</ref> This wild story evolves significantly over time with another video instead claiming that Starbucks [[coffee]] uses ''artificial'' semen and that semen is actually [[milk]] (why he didn't just say "artificial milk" is anyone's guess).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1b_CxiqMNE YouTube - Milk And Semen Blends Lattes At Starbucks]</ref> Manning constantly claims he is [[persecution complex|persecuted]] by the "Sodomite Mafia." In March 2015, Manning reported that "they" had sent him a bucket of poop.<ref>https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2015/03/25/anti-gay-pastor-i-was-sent-a-bucket-of-poop-by-demon-sodomites/</ref>

Manning's least favourite person is probably former [[Barack Obama|President Obama]] ("Mr. Long Legged Mack Daddy", as he called him often). He claims that Obama is either the [[Antichrist]] or the son of [[Satan]], depending on when you ask, and finds him obsessed with [[homosexuality]] ([[Haggard's Law|unlike himself]]). Big shock, he's a [[birther]] too.

==Criticism of black people==
Manning has said he is ashamed to be black, and frequently bashes black society (goes so far as to regularly call black people [[nigger|niggers]] &mdash; ''derogatorily''). He frequently claims Obama, [[Al Sharpton]], [[Jesse Jackson]], and other black leaders are trying to start a [[race war]]. (And he isn't, of course.) However, Manning ultimately believes black America is being attacked primarily by white people (more specifically, white [[liberals]]), and frequently states homosexuality is a "white disease". Strangely, he also seems to dislike the [[Tea Party]] and other [[conservative]] groups like [[World Net Daily]], at least in part because of [[racism]]. Go figure.<ref group=note>In part it is because he feels white [[wingnuts]] may be ignoring him due to the color of his skin. Partly because they think he's too crazy. Honestly, it's really god damn hard to follow his reasoning on his beef with them.</ref>

Manning accepts [[stereotype]]s about black people. He notes that black people can be doctors, lawyers, [[astrophysics|astrophysicists]], but maintains that ''"Black folk don't know how to run no nation."'' Manning ignores {{wpl|Gabon||,}}<ref>[http://www.africaneconomicoutlook.org/en/country-notes/central-africa/gabon/ Gabon]</ref> {{wpl|Ghana||,}} [[Kenya]], and other countries where [[economic]] development is growing and living standards of the people are rising.

Manning [[Cherry picking|cherry-picks]] cases where he thinks black people have failed. Manning claims [[South Africa]] became worse after the end of [[apartheid]], and criticizes [[Nigeria]] where [[oil]] companies make a profit while the people remain [[Poverty|poor]]. He imagines that black people ''"Can't understand the world"'', and argues that ''"There's something wrong with the black man mind."'' and ''"The [[nigger]] ain't got no sense."'' And only [[God]] can help.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0stJkUWUyM Pastor James David Manning on "Black Folk"]</ref>

==Greatest hits==
[[File:James Manning.jpg|thumb|right|"Every [[sodomite]] butthole will get [[cancer]] in the butthole!"<ref name=butthole />]]
{{cquote|This is the word of the Lord! This is the prophecy of the almighty God! This is the Lord’s word! If you are a sodomite, God’s going to have a flame coming out of your butthole!|||James Manning<ref>Nick Duffy, [https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/04/15/sodomite-slayer-pastor-claims-god-will-make-flames-shoot-out-of-gay-mens-buttholes/ ‘Sodomite slayer’ pastor claims God will make flames shoot out of gay men’s buttholes] Pink News, 15 April 2016.</ref><ref name=butthole>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF19XWWyREE GOD WILL MAKE FLAMES COMIN OUTTA YO BUTTHOLE!!!] Ragu Green, YouTube, 6 September 2016.</ref>}}

He has come up with several other bizarre [[conspiracy theories]] on his show. If/when you aren't offended by his [[insane]] [[bigot]]ry, you should really check out some of his insights (or lack thereof, anyway). These include:
* Claiming a woman with a child who crashed her car into the White House gates was trying to give [[Obama]] his love child (and was murdered under the president's orders… after ramming her car into a bunch of cops).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0bSwaR_HO4 YouTube - Family of Slain Miriam Carey Calls for Paternity Test of Possible Obama Love Child]</ref> Unsurprisingly, [[Joseph Farah]] of WND.com also appears to believe a conspiracy along the same lines.<ref>[http://www.wnd.com/2015/04/why-i-care-about-miriam-carey/ Why I care about Miriam Carey]</ref>
* Obama didn't attend Columbia University. It was a cover story, while he was a secret [[CIA]] agent that armed the Mujahideen in [[Afghanistan]], so he could help his Mooslim brethren.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WedxY61d60 Youtube - CIA Columbia Obama Cover Up]</ref>
* Anyone (presumably a woman) who kisses (or has sex with) a man who had [[gay sex]] can contract the "[[Sodomite]] [[Demon]]". Claims the "Demon" is concentrated in a man's semen, but is also in all bodily fluids, and it goes into the recipient's bloodstream. No word on what he thinks about [[Bill O'Reilly|people]] having sex with a woman who had gay sex. Worth watching for his incredible (mis)understanding of [[biology]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PvMZ-Sgejk Youtube - James David Manning Explains How You Contract The 'Sodomite Demon']</ref>
* [[NWO]] satanists hijacked [[Malaysia Airlines Flight 370]] ([[Predictive programming|so they can crash Air Force One in the future]]). Apparently, it's just like the [[Boston Marathon bombing]] [[False flag operation]] (or so he says).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuRlTQ99kiA Youtube - New World Order Highjacked Flight 370]</ref>
* Justin Bieber is a [[trans]] man (says the Biebs cut off his breasts). Bonus points for the title.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELhZzfM6MiQ Youtube - Don't Let Your Son Cut Off His Penis]</ref>
* Obama cut a deal with [[Al Qaeda]] to attack other countries instead of America, after the [[Charlie Hebdo]] shooting.<ref>[http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/right-wing-pastor-claims-obama-made-deal-terrorists-attack-other-countries-while-hes-preside Right Wing Watch - Right-Wing Pastor Claims Obama Made Deal With Terrorists To Attack Other Countries While He's President]</ref>
* Thinks [[ISIS]] destroying historical artifacts is morally right. "I can't be against ISIS for tearing down these temples of these idols... I do think that the tactic that ISIS is using is Biblical". [[Ironically]], he [[Willful ignorance|doesn't realize]] that ISIS is destroying [[Christian]] artifacts too. Even worse title.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr5viAB4JnI Youtube - Isis Military Campaign Is Biblical]</ref>
* Obama will use the [[NDAA]] to send all black people back to [[Africa]] or [[Haiti]], and steal their property. Apparently, it's what [[George Soros]], [[Bill Gates]], and [[Facebook|Mark Zuckerberg]] want.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5FGGsupJBw Youtube - Send all Black People Back to Africa]</ref>
* The [[CIA]] will assassinate Obama... because the healthcare.gov website wasn't working.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPRrXv0IbOo Youtube - I Believe the CIA will Assassinate Obama]</ref>
* "Every person, that has supported [[Ben Carson]], is also a [[sodomite]]. Every person that is supporting, giving money to, giving votes for, talking about, going to campaign meetings for Ben Carson has got a [[demon]] in ya. You got the same demon that... that.. that brought[sic] Obama. You don't have the son of Satan, but you got a demon. Ben Carson is a demon. [[Ad hominem|LOOK at how he closes his eyes, look at how he moves his lips, loot at how he uses that little girl voice, there's a girl inside Ben Carson...]]"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2gweCg_NIM Youtube - Ben Carson Is A Sodomite]</ref>
* "Jesus has removed His blessings He gave our ancestors. Churches are empty, bulldozed over for lgbtq restaurants, shootings in broad daylight, junkies everywhere, homeless sleeping in the streets, babies daddy beating babies momma '''like the devil beating his wife.'''"

==Losing his church==
Manning owes $1.02 million due to unpaid tax, unpaid water bills, and general debts, and his church is due to be sold compulsorily at public auction.<ref>[http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2016/01/antigay-pastor-james-david-manning-is-about-to-lose-his-church/ Antigay pastor James David Manning is about to lose his church]</ref> The {{wpl|Ali Forney Center||,}} a group [[Irony|providing for homeless LGBT youngsters, has raised $200,000 in cash and hopes to buy Manning's church]].<ref>[http://www.advocate.com/religion/2016/2/09/ali-forney-center-hits-fundraising-goal-buy-harlem-hate-church Ali Forney Center Hits Fundraising Goal to Buy Harlem Hate Church]</ref><ref>[http://aliforneycenter.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.event&eventID=531 Support the #HarlemNoHate campaign]</ref> Manning became very angry over this, and he imagines it will not happen unless 'men give birth through their anus'.<ref>[http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/02/03/christian-hate-pastor-gays-cant-have-my-church-until-they-give-birth-to-kids-through-their-anus/ Christian Hate Pastor: Gays Can’t Have My Church Until They Give Birth to Kids Through Their Anus]</ref> Manning and his congregation have threatened to arm themselves and barricade themselves inside the church in an effort to keep it.<ref>[http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/02/12/anti-gay-pastor-will-barricade-himself-inside-church-to-stop-sale-to-sodomite-faggots/ Anti-gay pastor will barricade himself inside church to stop sale to ‘Sodomite faggots’]</ref> There is a temporary stay over the forced sale till a full court hearing on the 21st April 2016.<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kYQFC0lUJYQ Breaking News: No Foreclosure On ATLAH Church]</ref> The Ali Forney Center plans to use the time to research a good financial package before bidding for the church.<ref>[http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/02/22/closure-of-jesus-would-stone-homos-church-delayed-amid-legal-challenge/ Closure of ‘Jesus would stone homos’ church delayed amid legal challenge] Let's hope nobody gets killed.</ref>

==Relationship with Donald Trump==
Manning initially endorsed [[Donald Trump]] in December of 2015;<ref> http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/hate-pastor-harlem-backs-donald-trump-plans-support-article-1.24 </ref> however he withdrew his support in June 2016 when Trump sent concilliatory messages after the {{wpl|2016 Orlando nightclub shooting|Orlando shootings}}.<ref>http://www.mediaite.com/online/anti-gay-pastor-retracts-endorsement-after-trump-denounces-orlando-attack/ </ref> In August during the campaign, when Trump's organization was undergoing chaos and a shake-up after the firing of [[Paul Manafort]] and Corey Lewandowski, Manning offered to take over.<ref>http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/08/09/pastor-offers-to-take-over-donald-trumps-campaign-and-save-him-from-faggot-buttholes/ </ref> In September Manning told [[Alex Jones]] of [[InfoWars]] that [[Hillary Clinton]]'s own internal polling told her Donald Trump was leading in battleground states and had enough to win.<ref>https://youtu.be/pSCDLs70WLk </ref> Immediately after the election,<ref>https://www.conspiracyoutpost.com/topic/16935-pastor-james-david-manning-calls-trump-tribulation-trump-son-of-hitler-vid/ </ref> Manning again withdrew his support from Trump and warned white people they were under God's judgement.<ref>http://www.ambrosekane.com/2016/11/20/what-the-hell-has-happened-to-pastor-james-david-manning-manning-turns-against-trump-and-warns-that-white-people-are-under-gods-judgment/ </ref> <ref>http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/james-david-manning-trump-is-a-demon-who-is-having-sex-with-ugly-stringy-head-slut-kellyanne-conway/ </ref> Manning now refers to him as "Tribulation Trump".<ref>https://atlah.org/amn4/2019/01/30/tribulation-trump-son-of-the-father-of-lies-white-supremacy-america/ </ref>

In 2014, Manning boasted of being privy to information of [[Putin]]'s plan to interfere in America's domestic politics and subvert democracy.<ref>https://downtrend.com/brian-carey/harlem-church-pastor-predicts-putin-will-obama-gay-within-100-days </ref>
