Harlem Hate Pastor: 'The Homos Are Trying to Take Our Church'

While a pair of LGBT non-profits feverishly gather online donations to secure the property of the notorious "Harlem Hate Church," Rev. James David Manning has some choice words for the media and charitable organizations that are rejoicing in his reviled ministry's demise.

"The sodomites are after me again. The homos are trying to take our church," Manning said during a 3-hour edition of his radio webcast "The Manning Report" on Monday. "All the fag rags are writing all these salacious stories. The sodomites are jumping up and down like a bunch of frogs on a hot tin roof. They are ecstatic!"

After tweeting on Saturday that a "friend" offered his church $1.2 million to "remedy foreclosure tax," Rev. Manning now says he has no intention to pay his mountain of debt because, as he claims, his church doesn't owe it.

During Monday's webcast, Manning attempted to clarify how his ATLAH Worldwide Church in Harlem ended up headed to the auction block on February 24 over non-payment of debt. Manning alleges the matter stems from taxes on an unpaid water and sewage bill for which he has claimed exemption.

According to Manning, a bank purchased the debt from the department of environmental protection. The bank is calling in the debt, but Manning purports that the matter has been stayed in court. The notorious "Hate Pastor" further claimed ignorance about the matter (which has been going on since the early 2000s) because of poor communication.

"In 2013, without notifying us as a body, because we had lost touch with our attorney at that time, they [the bank] started another action to collect the lien that originally was $130,000, which now they're saying it's $1.2 million!" Manning claims.

According to DNAInfo, the unpaid sewage bills are just a portion of Manning's overall financial woes. There are nine federal tax liens against him, totaling more than $355,000 from as far back as 2002. He also owes the state of New York more than $28,000 and other creditors more than $30,000 according to public records.

During Monday's webcast, Manning attempted to clarify Saturday's tweet regarding the purported offer from a "friend" who allegedly offered to bail out the church.

"On Friday I got a call from a friend who offered us $1.2 million." Manning said. "I said thank you very much, but we don't owe the money!"

"I still wouldn't pay the money because we don't owe it. And I'm a fighter," he added.

ATLAH's current financial problems have proved to be good news for a pair of LGBT non-profits who have their eyes on securing his Harlem property at auction this month. Both the Ali Forney Center for homeless and at-risk LGBT youth as well as the Christian LGBT spiritual organization Rivers of Living Waters, have been fundraising online in the hopes of snatching up the hate church at public auction.

In closing the segment on his church's impending auction, Manning addressed both organizations in a long-winded rant characteristic of the rhetoric that has earned him the nickname "Harlem Hate Pastor."

"Finally to all the sodomites that think they're going to purchase this church in a foreclosure sale: Let me tell you something. Before you can ever own the Lord's house. 'Cause that's what this is. This ain't no damn bathhouse. This ain't no fag house," Manning said. "And before you can ever own this property.... You men who are fags.. men who are carrying babies in their testicles and give birth through their anus. That's how impossible it will be for you to get this church. When you start carrying babies in your bags and birthing that baby through your ass, then you can own this house. When I see you pull a baby out your ass, then you can pull this church out from us."

"Boom shacka lacka! And all you fags can go to Hell!" he added.
