Looks like it is far from proven, but if it is true, what a self-loathing individual.

 

Hard for me to believe, but anything is possible I guess.

Oh, I forgot that the topic is in reference to Genesis's Jesus He Knows Me:

 

"I believe in the family... with my ever-lovin wife beside me... but she don't know about my girlfriend or the man I met last night"
