Why the fuck would anyone convert it Catholicism? I understand protestant and evangelical converts, and converting to Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam, but Catholicism? What the actual fuck lol
Not necessarily about the Texas guy, but just the general trend apparently amongst some people. Legitimately can't imagine why
No shade meant to people who are currently practicing Catholics, I just don't understand how people not born into the religion convert to it nowdays.
Catholic traditions are more cinematic
Evangelical Christianity is for dumb hicks and these people fancy themselves dark brooding intellectuals. Buddhism is too hippy-coded. It has its appeal for Sam Harris types but its not trad and fashy enough for these people
American Buddhism is full of cranks and woo woo hippies and grifters. You have to go further out of your way to find actual buddhist infrastructure. I can see a lot of people being put off by all the orientalist psuedo mysticism that gets passed off as buddhism in the us.
It has a patina of tradition. Cool outfits. Also ritual canivalism. On the other hand evangelicals just wear a boring suit, and are ovioulsy fake. Then again evangelicals are also more evil and i guess some people are into that.
