In my opinion, yes.
"I'm a Christian" *is* and over used phrase
I think that many people say that, but never think about it and how other people look at them.
It kind of makes you mad how people say one thing and do another, right?
If people go out there and tell everyone that they're a Christian, but still do things like smoke, swear, have a "careless" attitude, and things like that, people who aren't Christians are going to think, "Oh well if this 'Christian' does it then it's go t to be right. No one seems to think about things like this at all. A lot of peoples' lives are merely focused on the other sex. Too many girls live their lives around boys. Frankly I find it annoying, but that's probably just me feeling sorry for them. I mean they think they're having "fun" by making-out with all these guys but that only lasts for a little while. God lasts for ever. ETERNITY people! YOU'RE ETERNITY! People don't seem to take it seriously. I don't know what to do about it. Do I have to talk at them like they're a child? I mean people just don't get the fact that when you die you either go to Heaven or Hell there's no "in betweens". People say things like I'm a Christian because I'm a fairly good person and I go to church sometimes. Well it just doesn't work like that. People think it's easy to get into Heaven all you have to do is ask for forgiveness and it's all set, you're in. No, this is supposed to involve you're mind, soul, and heart. One, you have to mean it. Two after that you can't just go back to having "bad habits" such as drugs, sex, swearing, ext. People just don't get it. It surprising actually.
I ran into a guy the other day who was like I know I'm a bad person, and I know I'm going to Hell. I'm just going to sit here and do nothing about it. My reaction was surprised. I was so surprised that someone knew they were going to burn in a fiery lake for eternity and were content with it. I know that they would be sorry when it actually happens but if I said that to him, he would say something like he doesn't care. I mean he actually said he likes smoking pot, and he'll do it until he dies and he likes sinning and he's going to die sinning. He apparently thinks it's too hard to try all your life and get rewarded in the end. He really just doesn't care and he will do whatever he wants and then when the time comes he'll die and burn in hell for it. But he's perfectly fine with that.
I think this would kind of clear things up. He obviously enjoys things like freedom and pleasure. But he doesn't seem to understand that he is going to have neither of those for a much longer time if he decides to just go to Hell. I mean he believes in God and he knows God is real he believes what the Bible says and is content with going to Hell. If he turns his life around and does end up going to Heaven, he'll be really happy there, for ETERNITY. He is doing all of this so he can "enjoy" his life now, but if he'll sacrifice that much for short term happiness I don't understand why he won't try while he's here on Earth and then die and enjoy his ETERNITY in Heaven, rather than enjoying what short time he has here on Earth and dieing and suffering for all of eternity.
Some things people think they're smart for and they think they've thought it over, but no one can express enough how log eternity is. No one seems to care anymore.

Couldn't have said it better myself!!! You're an awesome writer and you really got this one right. :)
Yeah I understand completely what you have been saying well one because we have talked about this many times before. I am pretty sure I know who you are talking about and I think he is actually turning his life around.
It's a confusing issue but I will explain something else later. Most people do call themselves Christians and I really don't understand it at all but I for one and I know you aren't going to let that stop us from doing anything.
I sent you a message talking about something important.
