TIL: Homosexuality was a religion?

Or is Christianity a sexual orientation?

"Loving Jesus" is a term TFI members use to describe their intimate, sexual relationship with Jesus. TFI describes its "Loving Jesus" teaching as a radical form of bridal theology. They believe the church of followers is Christ's bride, called to love and serve him with wifely fervor; however, this bridal theology is taken further, encouraging members to imagine Jesus is joining them during sexual intercourse and masturbation. Male members are cautioned to visualize themselves as women, in order to avoid a homosexual relationship with Jesus.

Wow, I feel really sorry for anyone growing up with these people.

Male members are cautioned to visualize themselves as women, in order to avoid a homosexual relationship with Jesus.

That's cool I guess. Jesus would be open to men though, apparently, so Jesus is bi? Pansexual?
