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.

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.
