How come no one uses the term Jesus Freak anymore? Like yeah you’re exactly right I’m a weird little freak and God loves me and you and all other weird little freaks so now I get to be a weird little freak for God.

We are imperfect beings and God is just.
Therefore, He does not expect perfection out of us: only remorse for our sin and the willingness to get back up when we fail.
Repent and try again.
Remember not to compare your spiritual journey to those around you, either. Like in life, we all mature at different rates and none of us are better than the other.
Whether your sin of habit is as complex an issue as sexual immorality or as difficult to break as habitual lying... all sin is the same in the eyes of God. We each have our own struggle. What is thoughtless for you is a war for me. I may never understand why your battle is your own- hell, you may not comprehend it yourself! But what's amazing is God intimately knows each and every struggle you have and will ever face. Jesus is the gateway to eternal, pure empathy for the corrupted human heart.
He knows it's difficult for you...
He also knows you're trying.
Repent.
Try again.

The Beatitudes
Then looking up at His disciples, He said:
Blessed are you who are poor,
because the kingdom of God
is yours.
Blessed are you who are now
hungry,
because you will be filled.
Blessed are you who weep
now,
because you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people
hate you,
when they exclude you,
insult you,
and slander your name as evil
because of the Son of Man.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy. Take note - your reward is great in heaven, for this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.
Luke 6:20-23

No One Gives A Shit That You're A Jesus Freak
It occurred to me that the through line of presenting your demographic as victims as a culture war tactic traces back very clearly to the Religious Right of the Nineties and their drive to be persecuted.

I am a practicing Christian in a relationship with God, yet am also most Baptist preachers' worst nightmare. I think that says something about organized religion.
You don't fit in at church or with other "Christians"? You may be doing something right. Never forget: Jesus didn't click with the religious, either. In fact, they murdered Him.
