Incredible - James Manning, ATLAH Church Pastor, Claims Starbucks Uses 'Sodomites' Semen' [View all]

Incredible wackos running around ... WTF is wrong with this guy! I think this guy has opened himself up for a massive lawsuit by Starbucks. I don't have a link, but there is some prescient for legal action against one making outrageous and false claims against an enterprise attempting to damage a business with willful intent.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/06/anti-gay-church-starbucks_n_6115136.html


The leader of the vehemently anti-gay Harlem ATLAH Missionary Church, James Manning, is once again making outrageous claims against the gay community. This time he might have outdone himself.

Last week, Manning asserted that Starbucks is "ground zero for Ebola" after the company released it's first LGBT commercial starring Bianca Del Rio and Adore Delano of "RuPaul's Drag Race" fame.

Now, Manning has released another video in which the religious leader claims that Starbucks has been using the "sodomites' semen" in their flavored coffee drinks. He states in the video:

“Starbucks is a place where these types frequent and a lot of body fluids are exchanged there. But the thing that I was not aware of is that there has been information that has been released… what Starbucks was doing, is they were taking specimens of male semen, and they were putting it in the blends of their lattes. Now, this is the absolute truth."
