Do you find the term Jesus freak offensive? [Spirituality & Religion]

Not very, although it's meant to be offensive. It started in the 60's when there were people freaking out on every substance known on earth and "Jesus Freak"'was a self-assigned label to indicate that their faith was where they got their high. Then drugs were illegal and faith was legal.

I find being called any sort of christian offensive. When applied to a christian, the term "Jesus Freak" is purely descriptive.
@suzie1960 Not true. Not with that perfect accuracy.

@LadyGrace [quote] I really resent you saying that I’m criticizing others,[/quote]

Sorry, I thought you were being critical of those who post about [quote]... promoting sex, porn, witchcraft, philosophies, drugs, showing cakes with private parts, displaying and sending nudity, talk filthy and act rude and disrespectful to each other, curse, criticize, hate, and everything from soup to nuts, and discuss pretty filthy stuff, too,...[/quote]

While it is true that people, in general, have a choice, children and the vulnerable can be easily led.

I said [b][i]"No doubt, in some christians' eyes, I am the personification of evil because I broke free from christianity.[/i][/b]. Note I said [b]"some"[/b], not "all". Also, many christians do proselytizes, I did too when I was a christian. We called it "spreading the word" but it was proselytizing nonetheless. I note a lot of christians (again not "all") strongly object to followers of other religions writing about their beliefs. I'm not attacking you, I'm just questioning the reasoning behind what you believe. I don't understand why you perceive that as an attack. Atheists come under that sort of questioning all the time.

I thought I'd made it clear why I broke away from christianity. I studied the bible and, to put it simply, found it didn't add up. It had too many contradictions and factual error to be the work of a supreme being such as "god" is supposed to be.

@LadyGrace Found it at last - https://similarworlds.com/4393030-I-Believe-In-Miracles/925312-A-woman-in-my-village-was-plagued-with

Do you accept that proves the Wiccan gods and goddesses are real? I see a christian seemed to object to that post in the comments. I wonder why?
No, once they go overboard they get a little freaky

@Fernie It's not all about you, y'know
Fernie · F
🙄@rosslynwindow My point is...who else but a jesus freak would be offended by that?
@Fernie You could be offended for them.
No. But that’s probably because I’m not one? Maybe? 🤔
@MsAnnThropy You could be offended for other people.

If it were to come from a priest then yes.

Not anymore, I consider it a blessing.
Only from a person of faith.

It's okay to be offended, whether I care or not and whether it matters in general are different questions.

Not really.
