The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I don't think JD believes this. He is pure ambition devoid of any deeply held values.

The net sifter says:

Yes, J.D. Vance changed religions; he converted from being an atheist/agnostic to Catholicism in 2019, after exploring faith during and after law school, influenced partly by his wife, Usha, though they raise their children Christian as a compromise in their interfaith marriage

He could be a cynical opportunist, or, he could be a true convert. Remember the 80s, when being a "born again Christian fundamentalist" was so fashionable? There is nothing worse than the zealotry of a convert. As he tolerates his wife being a Hindu, I lean toward "cynical opportunist"
