I honestly cannot stand the "I was a terrible person who made bad choices before I was Christian" argument.
I suppose at some level we all expect others to think and make choices in the same basic ways we do, but to assume everyone else needs Jesus because of your past experiences speaks more about the internal state of someone who couldn't behave ethically, and made a lot of bad choices without an authority to guide them. And I'm not sure why anyone would flaunt that.
Of course, one of the conversion tactics of Christianity seems to be exaggerating past mistakes.
A compulsive masturbator, grifter, and con artist respectively would probably all give equal "I was a bad person without Jesus" speeches, without getting into detail.
It's the same with the "everything happens for a reason" saying.
