[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Oh no. Is DCUM turning PC?

So it's ok to rag on some life choices (SAHM vs. WOHM, BF vs. FF), not not others (religion)??

Yes, or more specifically, no one other than you should ever be offended. That is this site's new mission statement.

During the  1960's -1970's Jesus Freak was a name for a movement - see Forever Family where in a hippieish fashion people lived in communes [usually old houses in urban areas]  - maybe 30 plus people in a row house.  Handed out tracts [like Moonies] etc and left mainstream and counterculture [hippie] society.   A person I knew joined that movement and they did refer to themselves as Jesus freaks.  Those people would be in their sixties or late fifties now. [/quote]

Jeff has made it very clear that religious slurs are not welcome on dcum. In today's context, that term is generally used as a slur.

The argument you are making in my opinion is similar to the "well that group uses the n-word as a familiar term and in art and music so what is wrong with me using it?" argument.

J.F. and its usage has evolve significantly in the past 50 years and not in a good way.[/quote]
