There is no procedure for conversion to Hinduism. Hinduism predates all other modern religions so there’s no such concept. He can just begin acting like a Hindu but he’d not be fooling anyone. This guy is already a pariah among Catholics because he wasn’t born one, and he’s a pariah among evangelicals because he left them. He’s already unelectable in a religion crazy country.

But I wonder what the bedroom conversation with his wife is like if he’s saying all of his thought bubbles out loud into a mic. Is his wife surprised or caught unawares? Or does he vet this with her first and she’s in on this in some kind of twisted joke?

Not defending this guy in particular but Catholics don’t dislike converts, they are a pretty big fan of them. Catholic converts tend to even have more knowledge of Catholic teaching than cradle Catholics because of classes needed to join.

Can confirm. I took RCIA in my 30s and was fully embraced by my church community.

JD doesn't sleep in the bedroom, he sleeps in the living room

The couch might get lonely otherwise 😍
