Dumb ass. Iām not surprised Rev Manningās church is in financial debt. I live in Harlem and in the 90s, Pastor Manning had a large enough congregation to pay his bills before he decided to bash gay folks. Since then, most of his congregation couldnāt hot tail it outta there fast enough as the good Rev descended into what sounds like undiagnosed mental silliness. I hope homeboy loses that property. Woo Yoo!

In the spirit of compromise, it may be worthwhile to pursue common ground here.
Iām prepared to agree that itās wrong that Starbucks,or any coffee emporium, franchised or independent, to put semen in our lattes - particularly because some of us like to pre-order them skinny. Iām not saying everyone has to agree on this, but I am saying that surely we can come together on some policy shift, for example, that Starbucks could provide it as an option, by, say, pouring a few hundred fresh ejaculates into a creamer thatās available at the fixings table. That way, itās for each of us to choose. What kind of moron wouldnāt be pro choice?
That would narrow our disagreement to whether Starbucks is in fact adding semen to my skinny latte grande without my knowledge and consent. Thereās a problem here, but it may also hold he key to a solution. IMO the problem is captured in 3 consecutive words in the first sentence of this very paragraph: āwithout my knowledgeā.
I donāt know! And as to Reverend Manning saying HE knows, in order to pursue compromise any further, Iād need to know first hand whether Starbucks is, in fact, removing my choices by actually serving me semen-laced coffee products. So I hereby ask Rev. Manning, are you by chances any relation to Chelsea Manning? Or the any of the basketballing Mannings? Or Archie Manning, because in acting to work out the earlier par, we could then move on to next stage in this process. But is

Iāll go out on a limb (or other appendage) and agree, but maybe the poor pastor is confused about what espresso ācremaā is?

Hey, remember when the Gay-rainbow house was set up right across the street from Westboro Baptist? Maybe this is that secret gay agenda they always talk aboutā¦civil rights through real estate.

Like the Good Book saysā¦itās better to give then receiveā¦and that applies to semen too.
Why does Rev. Manning know what semen tastes like?

No he has it right. I used to be a semen donor for Starbucks. Long hours and physically draining. So I quit and āwork from homeā for the smaller Cafeās.

So, we think heās become crazy, because he now believes that Starbucks is adult-erating beverages, but he was just fine back when he believed that thing about the sky father creating an entire universe so some bipedal primates with opposable thumbs could spend a few decades on a big ball of rock before spending eternity in non-physical form?

I was there a little while back, but my career has been extended indefinitely now that I got a gig with one of those e-semen services.

Wellllllll, I know what you mean. But as an agnostic Iām willing to imagine that religions are metaphors for a dim glass-darkly perception that thereās some sort of possibly transcendent energy in living things that we donāt yet understand. I think thatās at least remotely possible and I think itās a lot more possible thanāuhāwhat he said, letās say, about the lattes. So yeah, I think heās crazy and the folks dressed up exiting the houses of worship and shaking hands with the celebrants and going out for pancakes arenāt.

They are when they chat over pancakes about the need to elect people who will support the godly aim of declaring that a fertilized egg is a human being that deserves greater rights than the woman hosting that egg.
They are when they elect godly people to the board of education, in order to have the theory of evolution downgraded to the same status as creationism.
They are when they declare that talk about anthropogenic climate change is a big con, because it is hubris to think that we puny humans can change godās plan for the planet.
You let craziness like that take root, and pretty soon they will be telling you that for-profit corporations have religious beliefs that must be protected at the expense of the rights of their employees.

At what point does this stop being speaking truth to power and become taunting a person with an obvious mental illness? I havenāt felt so conflicted about watching a charlatan squirm since George W. Bushās last press conference.

Wowā¦James David Manning is walking around unsupervised and un-medicated??
Manning is one very disturbed dude. He has parishioners? There are people who share his bat shit crazy delusions?
Thatās one for the archives. Unbelievable insanity.
The English say āblack cockā. I know this via an acquaintance who spent his young adulthood in Kenya for that very reason.
Not sure why the Daily Show would give this man air time unless they wanted to do a mitzvah for the Ali Forney Center. In which case Iām totally on board. Great org that does vital work.
