There are many possible interpretations of the phrase “Jesus loves porn stars.” What it means to Craig Gross and Mike Foster, two pastors who run an anti-pornography online ministry, is that Jesus may not love what porn stars do for a living, but He loves them anyway. (It does not—repeat, does not—mean Jesus loves porn. Quite the contrary. “Jesus is not OK with it,” Gross says.) Gross and Foster hope to save a few porn stars from their work by handing out Bibles at adult-industry events.
