“Dr.” Eric Sprankle is a psychology professor and sex
therapist at Minnesota State University, Mankato. On Monday, December 3rd,
he tweeted: “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.”
Wow. Sprankle has spoken.
Another
member of the Twitterverse responded that the Bible states that the Virgin Mary did agree to God’s plan for her. This
rankled Sprankle. He replied: “The biblical god regularly punished
disobedience. 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.” So, in
Professor Sprankle’s considered view, God
is a bully, a misogynist and a predator. For giving us all a chance at eternal
life.
Dr. Sprankle decorated his “Christmas”
tree with Satanic décor, as proudly shown in another recent tweet. And yet,
Facebook recently censored a picture of Santa Claus kneeling in a
manger with baby Jesus—because, according to its guidelines, it “may show
violent or graphic content.”
It is ironic to hear Professor
Sprankle speak of “unethical abuse of power.” Especially as he would never
criticize extraordinarily powerful and wealthy progressives like George Soros,
Jeffrey Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg. I’m not sure what he has said about Muhammad.
As Mark
Steyn recently noted, the collegiate liberal arts community has
Christianity to thank for its roots because much of the ancient art and music
was created in defense or celebration of Jesus Christ and Christianity. And now
those liberal arts institutions are the most devout preachers-- and teachers--
of secularism.
And occasionally Satanism.
Happy Holidays.
