In my experience, these are usually people who had serious drug problems, and "found jesus" in jail.
This girl I used to chill with keeps coming at me like this, currently, and I swear to god, I don't really know what to say to her. And, keep in mind, I'm a Christian myself.
Also, when I bring up anything having to do with the past, she's like, "oh, yeah, that wasn't really me, because the DEVIL was controlling me, then." I wanna say like, " no, I'm fairly certain that was you. THIS isn't you. You're just regurgitating things you've recently been told, and are no longer thinking independently, like, AT ALL."
I'm not certain, but I THINK that these people have gotten involved in, like, cultish religious groups.
