A lot are very good people and some are not. But most desire the life of this world.
However, this doesn't mean they are not Christians or believers in Jesus. They believe in him.
Christ is suppose to be perfect, of course, being perfect is not something I'm expecting from Christians.
True. No Christian is perfect, and some are hypocrites. I think there are some credible examples of those whose lives have been changed by their faith in him, however. The Jesus Movement of the 1960's in the United States turned the lives around of many drug addicts--some of whom are pastors today of churches with thousands of members. The Calvary Chapel denomination continues to show results, today, as many new members are former drug addicts and former street gang members. Perhaps there are both positive and negative examples within Christian circles?
But something you mentioned makes me curios. You said Christ is supposed to be perfect. Please explain your meaning.
