I think some people truly "find Jesus" when they realize what a mess they've made of their own lives.
But some just say they've "found Him" when actually they haven't.
I've been involved in prison ministry where we go in for a weekend (not sleeping there though) and some people seem truly genuine in their Christian faith and some don't. But IMO, no matter what my opinion may be, only God knows their hearts for sure and He is their (our) ultimate judge.
On the other hand, I know people in free society that claim to be Christians that make me wonder.....probably exactly like people wonder when looking at me
