A former Cedarville University finance professor whose writings promote a Christian ethic of marriage and sexuality was arrested Tuesday on eight sex-related felony charges involving one or more minors.
The indictment, filed March 27 in Ohio’s Greene County Common Pleas Court, charges John Kent Tarwater with two counts of rape, three counts of sexual battery and three counts of gross sexual imposition.
He was booked into Greene County jail in southwest Ohio, where he remained in custody as of Wednesday morning. No defense counsel was listed in public court records, and no hearing or trial dates were disclosed.
Wanna guess his political affiliation?
Nazi?
Ephebophile, which he’s very quick to remind us is different from pedophile?
The only way this matters is because they sit at separate tables in the prison cafeteria.
I think they might prefer to stand
These are not political ideologies.
Yes they are.
When the oligarchs want to fuck children, and pour global resources into keeping themselves out of jail while they fuck children, it’s a goddamn ideology.
My political ideology is also not what you would consider a political ideology, it’s “guillotine the bastards,” and on the political spectrum, it starts at the top, swoops to the bottom, then we get a new head basket.
The global oligarchs like many things. Some like children, some like crepes, some like yachts. But these things are as much political ideologies.as the Professor we’re talking about is a global oligarch.
I get that you want to raise your disdain of something with every chance you can get, but some times the context will make for such a stretch that your words will becomr devalued by your intended audience.
The Venn diagram is starting to disagree more and more these days.
convicted on sex felonies
Christian sexual ethics
Yeah that tracks.
It’s always the people you most suspect.
…for you to poop on?
Actually, no. He’d probably get off on that.
What the fuck are you talking about, that’s disgusting. Show me where this is happening and how to do it, so that I can avoid it.
With your knowledge on where, I think we can combine power powers.
Aren’t we both from Texas? Let’s do it at the old Aquarena Springs. Where the pig swam.
Always the ones you most expect.
Fork found in kitchen.
Yeah. Except, as Trump says, ‘Who would have guessed!?’
I feel like this is a “why are you so focused on this topic” sort of question and answer
So all of these abrahamic religious types really just looooove diddling kids, eh? Fucking hell.
Nah. Plenty of Hindus and Buddhists do it too. The problem isnt a specific religion or religions, people who want to hurt others are attracted to positions of authority. Religion offers the best cover.
It’s what god wants 👍
“Spare the diddle, spoil the child.”
- Omnipotent beings, apparently
That depends on what role religion plays in a society. In a non religious society, those people are drawn to other positions of authority where they can perpetrate. For instance teachers and social workers are among the worst when it comes to occupations where these people end up.
Not a Democrat, atheist, or drag queen?
Religion is clearly the best grift.
If he were a Catholic priest he’d have the entire international power of the RCC protecting him. Dude picked the wrong church.
It’s always the ones you most suspect
If there is a gambling indicator on who may possibly be arraigned on one of these counts, I think it would fail because now at this point we are try to prove a double double… There is no house for this type of wager.
a Christian ethic of marriage and sexuality
Big “sex for me but not for thee” vibes.
He probably had sex outside of what he thinks was okay and was so mortified that he couldn’t stop himself from doing it over and over and over and over again he decided he needed to teach people the right way so he could save his soul.
That or he just thought he could make some cash pandering to people.
Aaaaaaand another one.
I’m running out of room guys.
😂 let me guess… Another conservative weirdo protecting kids in his own unique way?
So … when can we expect the announcement of his cabinet position?
Religion is itself a serious mental illness, and often covers other mental illnesses as well. All religious people should be on a watchlist.
You’re going to get guff for that (completely accurate) opinion.
Meh. I’ve been saying that religion is the greatest threat facing humanity, by far worse than climate change, worse than potential nuclear war, worse than running low on cheap fossil fuels.
I’m used to getting pushback from the mental children that tremble in fear of an imaginary construct.
I agree with you. Religion is the seed from which all those additional horrors can grow.
Spirituality is as human at this point as language. For better or worse, we need to master and understand the psychology behind it rather than reject it.
I believe everything you said can be accurately applied to organized religion, however. A religious institution will always be corrupted if it persists long enough because it is a form of state power.
Personal practice can be pretty healthy! But of course, since it is a coping mechanism, if mental illness takes over a spiritual person, their spirituality is always going to be at the forefront of their reasoning because it is the mechanism by which we make choices in absense of logic
Spirituality ≠ religion.
In psychology we call that reaction formation.
