The short of it....albeit I hate organized religion, and typically would classify this abrupt lifestyle change as "INSANE". However when someone turns to it at this point in their life? it's out fear. Not insanity, so if anything, I think he needs support of his dim-witted much much youngersidekick. Such a quick judgment/reaction to this entire circumstance....speaks volumes about her.
I doubt I need your assessment on the situation.
