Well, they make it look like they well researched the matter...strange, that they didn't have enough or any quotes of Jesus & Paul or other apostles on the matter of love (agapae)
In a relationship/friendship with a non TF, biblebased Christian woman she remarked on my then defense of OT-polygamie: if God had intended men to have many wives, He would have Adam provided them with...
Infact as far as fidelity is concerned (something
Berg rattled against in an infamous letter) Jesus
referred exactly to Genesis, saying, that in the beginning it was not so (divorce/seperation for
"good"...=> mating someone else)...but TF doesn't understand that...they are too full of lies & their lust for more.
I don't have time right now to go into more details, where they are all wrong on that big subject, (will do so later), but the goal is simple: they want to give the impressioon that they got it finally right as far as "love"/sex is concerned.
Let me start with the observation, that they handpicked quotes & sources which kind of seem to help establish their stance...but they got the handpicking even wrong...consider the gnosis:
One of the main contributors (for some the founder) of the gnosis/gnostic movement, Simon the Magician - yes, the one of Acts - had a wife/partner, Helena, which he got to know in a brothel...she is supposed to have had intercourse with many of his followers.
Or consider this quote/link about the carpocrates
(TF doesn't seem to have time for thorough research...wonder what their buddy Prof.Chancellor has got to say about this???):

more some time later
P.S. Eros used to be worshipped as one of the gods
(Armor/Cupido)...hello TF: whom/what are you worshipping foremost??
