Being real about who you are

During a conversation just now on the internet, a few interesting points came up, which I've pasted below, edited a little. I believe they make the point on their own, without an intro. So I'll just let you read them:

Some don't do 'the past' and/or weak spots.

I am the opposite, I believe it helps others to realise that you are human, you are touchable and vulnerable, and that yes...God works with every day, sinful people.

If everyone thinks christianity is full of superstars, then what hope does that send to the kid on drugs? At the same time, I don't believe in glorifying sin, and sometimes I may go too far but that's also because I'm human. Sometimes it's good just to remind yourself that God saved you, you didn't and can't save yourself.

NB: I also don't believe in emotionally hurting yourself by trying to bury what God wants to deal with.
