Quote:

A Minnesota professor suggested in a series of tweets that the Virgin Mary did not consent to the conception of Jesus Christ and suggested that God may have acted in a “predatory" manner.

Minnesota State University, Mankato psychology professor and sex therapist Dr. Eric Sprankle critiqued the story of the Virgin Mary in a tweet Monday, suggesting that the Virgin Mary did not consent to being impregnated by God.

“The virgin birth story is about an all-knowing, all-powerful deity impregnating a human teen. There is no definition of consent that would include that scenario. Happy Holidays,” Sprankle said.

Another Twitter user called the professor’s claim into question, noting that the Bible states that the Virgin Mary did, indeed, agree to God’s plan for her.

“The biblical god regularly punished disobedience,” Sprankle rebutted. “The power difference (deity vs mortal) and the potential for violence for saying ‘no’ negates her ‘yes.’ To put someone in this position is an unethical abuse of power at best and grossly predatory at worst.”

Sprankle is public with his anti-religious views and endorses "secularism" in his Twitter biography. Earlier in December, he tweeted a photo of a toy Christmas elf with his arm around a statue of what appears to be Baphomet, an occult depiction of an entity regularly associated with Satanism, according to The Church of Satan’s website.

Sprankle also decorated his Christmas tree with Satanic decor, as shown in another tweet he sent this past weekend.

They have gone certifiably crazy. What a bunch to total idiots. Could be the stupidest thing I have ever read.

I would have thought the left liked pedophilia? I'm so confused now.

It's going to be a long and harrowing eternity for most leftists.

So, to believe his claim, he must believe in God. After all, it would just be silly to make accusations against something that didn't exist.

This is what happens when you get locked away in academia. You become your own rabbit hole philosopher.

Sprankle Tales

From Dr. Love Sprankle's web page:

Quote:Dr. Eric Sprankle is an Associate Professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato where he serves on the faculty of the clinical psychology graduate program and the sexuality studies undergraduate program. He is also a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Minnesota, and an AASECT-certified sex therapist. Dr. Sprankle received his doctorate in clinical psychology from Xavier University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Minnesota Medical School's Program in Human Sexuality. He currently leads the Sexual Health Research Team at MSU examining sex work stigma, the effects of sexually explicit material, older adult sexuality, and the intersections of sexual health and genital piercings.

When not engaged in scholarly pursuits, Dr. Sprankle religiously reads Edgar Allan Poe, watches horror films, and poorly gardens.

Dude needs to lay off the Edgar Allan Poe and horror films and religiously read the Holy Bible. He'll get the truthful answers to his questions there.

I know and that's what depresses me about our state of the union. Right now the common sense folk are in power but heck it does scare me that people like some that post here and their ilk will get the keys to the zoo. It's frightening.

Sprankle Tales

Combating Moral Panics? I suppose that helps sex workers?

Funny, 20 years ago it was Jesus never lived (proven false as well yes King David lived as well fact) now it is more laughable what the left comes up with.

Those that cannot do, teach. Ask Mach.

He will answer in the affirmative, while utilizing poor grammar and likely misspelling the word "affirmative."

Its difficult for them, the vast majority of SECUALR historians now agree Jesus did exist, was born in Bethlehem and was crucified by Rome.

They believe in and teach as fact all sorts of things with far less historical evidence than the life of Jesus. In fact there is a massive amount of evidence that Jesus was not a made up person. Even the secular historians of the time period did not dispute His life or death, even those who dispute His resurrection and Him being the Son of God.
