Eric Sprankle, a Minnesota State University associate professor, says “there is no definition of consent” that constitutes God impregnating the Virgin Mary.

Sprankle also shares Satanic symbolism on his Twitter page.
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”
“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.
Campus Reform emailed Dr. Sprankle and called his office at the university but did not receive a response in time for publicaiton. Minnesota State University, Mankato did not respond in time for publication.
Well, shit, you allow a Christmas statue honoring the Satanic Society in the statehouse and soon the devil worshipers come out of the woodwork. I suppose we would be violating their basic human rights if we shamed them?
This guy is on the naughty list . Come on all you leftist turd stirring assholes give it a rest . You have to do some serious reaching for most of your moronic indignation . How about getting a real job doing something productive with yourself rather than constantly searching for some idiotic stretch to be insulted !
Oh, and I suppose you don’t think candy canes and the shape of Christmas, errr holiday trees are phallic in nature? Do you think ribbons wrapping a present are not oppressive and signify bondage. The typical bows atop presents are representative of the female bosom and you sexually frustrated misogynist religious zealots encourage the rape culture by using it. You sick bastard. Merry Christmas Boat Guy, love your stuff. Really, where does it end?
Steve, With the exception of the last sentence, I will be using your above comment in next years xmas cards. Thanks

Can somebody translate Boaty’s comment into English?
This professor is an ignoramus. Here is what Mary said to the angel Gabriel when he announced Mary was going to conceive: “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
Sounds like consent to me.
Submission, not consent. The rape laws recognize the difference. Submission does not imply consent.
None of you (us) would exist if some of your female ancestors had not been raped.
None of you (us) got here as a result of male or female ancestors being sodomized.
Mental illness. Liberalism is a mental illness.
If you are going to pick holes in the “virgin birth” story, “consent” seems like a serious tangent to go off on.
This guy is a big time atheist and long-time hater of religion and the religious. He does stuff just to rankle people. He’ll be the one who’s rankled once he’s down in you-know-where.
So, pissing away 7 years of Daddy’s money at University got him the coveted Doctorate degree, and this guy’s got it all figured out, huh?
Talk some smack about Mohammed like that, and he’d get banned from Twatter, and some muzzie would lop off his skull full of mush in a heartbeat.
Ah, but Christianity is fair game.
As much as I’d like to see his pansy ass get thrown into a few walls like a rag doll, vengeance will come from a higher power.
Middle fingers and Iska have him pegged. He sold his soul and went to the dark side. It’ll be uncomfortably hot, where this dick Doc is headed, I bet.
You all do realize where this road is heading right? It will progress feom giving consent to revoking consent so the democrats can eliminate, destroy and incarcerate anyone they choose anytime the choose…..prepare for it in your own ways. Its coming because its over.
But leftist demonrates dont believe in God so the obvious answer to them, logically, would be some muslim named mohammed raped her, right.?? We could more easily conclude this.
At present the girl who seduced and raped (statutorily) you when you were twelve can come back twenty years later and file a complaint of rape or sexual assault against you, totally ruin your life, perhaps get you locked in the slammer to become Big Bubba’s girlfriend.
Her accusation is all of the proof that is needed in Kalifornika and other Liberal-Progressive-Leftist-Feminist-Marxist paradises. Because★Wymyn★Don’t★Lie★About★Rape.★Because.
This guy is just a troll. Ignore him. Starve him of oxygen.
Thank you.
Mr. Bean goes to college.
Physiognomy strikes, again.
Entirely irrelevant. Whether Mary consented or not is meaningless. God is not a man. God is the Creator and Owner of the earth and of all who dwell therein. His laws for us do not apply to Him. If He took a virgin girl and impregnated her, it was by His pleasure. The Owner does not need His property’s permission or approval of anything.
Mary did right by referring to herself as a mere slave girl (“handmaid”) and by bowing in submission to her Lord, her Master, regarding His “covering” her (euphemism for copulating, from the customary position of a man above a woman during copulation) as a great privilege and honor.
