Well of course "jesus freak" is an undefined term that anyone can define for themselves, but I think the point in my reference in my livejournal, the source of my angst was at the sentiment expressed by That Girl that whether or not I was Christian was the all important determinant as to whether or not I should like a certain group that is or isn't Christian. And that I'd like to retain as my thesis in this discussion.
There are People to whom there are Christians and Non-Christians, There are People to whom there are christians and a great many other people besides There are People to whom there are Catholics and Protestants and maybe some other religions besides... There are People to whom there are all kinds of religions and some of them are Christian...
My complain reiterated, is against those to whom whether or not one is Christian is the only important descriptor (or at least the vastly most significant one). I don't know, I guess the utter disdain expressed in the voice of the girl can't really be expressed here, but I was quite offended by it.
Last time Pedro The Lion played Capitol Garage, Dave let people ask random questions between songs. A girl asked him directly about his "relationship with God" and how that affected his music/songwriting. He basically refused to answer the question, saying that he'd rather let the music speak for itself. Actually, that's how he answered every question... point being... you get the point.
It bugs me when fools get in my face about my beliefs. Agnosticism is just as valid a belief system as any other, even if it is a minority in the USA.
