What exactly is wrong or so bad about someone trying out a new religion?
Hinduism is a complete life system into which one is born. It’s not, “Do I like Methodist, or do I like Episcopal?” The possibility that someone not born or married into Hinduism is actually practicing that religion is basically zero.
However, if Hindus let her hang out at their temples because she thinks it’s cool, that’s nice of them. I wonder if she knows what a Brahmin has to go through after shaking hands or eating with her ... or perhaps she hasn’t noticed that they *don’t*.
Religion? Religion is man reaching out to God. He has told us how to come back to him and it is NOT though Hinduism, but through the cross at Calvary, believe in jesus, that he was Gods SOn, that he was crucified and died for your sins, that he rose again on the 3rd day.
That is what is wrong with ‘trying a new religion’.
Religion is not a sport jacket, you don't "try one out".
I would hypothesize that her religion, such as it is, has not changed at all, just the external manifestation of it, which is something you can "try out".
It's patronizing dilettantism, that's why.
It's one thing to convert to a religion after serious reflection and then to reveal one's conversion after having spent serious time actually practicing it consistently.
To announce conversion to a new religion while conveniently being on tour promoting a commercial project you're involved in is quite another.
Now she gets to embrace her inner “god” through altered states of consciousness, worship thousands of Hindu gods, be a vegetarian in hopes of encouraging the animals to stop eating each other, and spend eternity being reincarnated. Nice.
Hollywood will always be attracted to religions which focus on the individuals "climbing" the stairs of getting over their stench from a hollywood lifestyle. Hinduism offers a clean slate...over and over and over and over again thru reincarnation. Zero accountability as something in your "past life" must be playing out in this life. It's phony baloney on every count if you take a look at it...unfortunately if one isn't aware of what God says about these religious practices of Hinduism and various others.... they'll fall hook, line and sinker into anything out there ready to snatch them up....it happens... and they fall down a shoot that ends in darkness.
Just as with all the others who come out of these fake and false religions......they'll tell you they were indeed deceived and had no idea what they were really getting into..but they thought they did and it wouldn't hurt to "try".....much to their surprise they got sucked right in. Never underestimate the wiles of the enemy of God....he's not called the father of lies for nothing and the great deceiver.
