Oh, that's the same tired line that Christians use. That's an excuse for not following your chosen endeavor. I love the line: "Babes in Christ" after 40 years of devotion.
Of course no one can judge the spirit of another, or how hard they are trying and how difficult the road. However, one can comment on perceptions. Particularly about those who profess such devotion to a belief system.
All of this type of behavior started me on a path to rethink and become an athiest and simply try to be the best person I'm capable of being at any given time in life.
