Ramaswamy, known for his MAGA rhetoric, unveiled his newfound faith at a press conference held at the steps of City Hall. Flanked by his campaign team, who wore matching "Vote for the Chosen One" t-shirts, Ramaswamy passionately explained his decision.
Evangelical Christianity, founded by political strategists turned spiritual leaders, preaches the doctrine of catering to what people who have never read the Bible think the Bible says. Its official holy texts are pretty much ignored and megachurch preachers guide its followers.
Critics accused Ramaswamy of blatant opportunism, but he remains unfazed, confident that this new spiritual alliance will secure his place in the political pantheon. "Why be tied down to Hinduism when I can be uplifted by votes?" he rhetorically quipped, flashing his trademark grin.
The conversion ceremony itself was a sight to behold, complete with a confetti cannon shooting out policy promises and an altar adorned with campaign donations. Congregants, many of whom were donning "Ramaswamy's Disciples" robes, praised his bold choice.
"He's really listening to us now," gushed one supporter. "I know he'll do whatever it takes to make us happy, even if it means flip-flopping on his beliefs every other day."
Local religious leaders expressed a mix of astonishment at the politician's audacious move. "I never thought I'd live to see the day when a politician would literally turn his quest for votes into a sacred ritual," chuckled Rabbi Sarah Holman. "It's like he's running for deity-in-chief rather than public office."
As the 2024 election approaches, Ramaswamy's bold gamble remains the talk of the town. Only time will tell whether his newfound faith will elevate him to political salvation or leave him mired in the depths of voter skepticism. One thing's for sure, though: this election cycle just got a whole lot holier.
