My younger brother Jake (he's 16) has been living with me since our mother passed away in November, 2010. He was brought up in a loving Christian home and until recently he was a passionate devoted Christian. But around summer 2011 he became obsessed with George Harrison and soon thereafter made friends with an Indian family (the Prasad's) who own a local store. Since that time he has bought all these little statues of Hindu deities like Krishna and Hanuman and placed them around his room. He has several copies of the Baghavad Gita and a biography of a guru (I forgot his name). He now considers himself Hindu and balked at partaking in Holy Communion recently. I think he only did it because he saw how upset his lack of enthusiasm made me.
It's like I don't even know him anymore. When I enter his room he's listening to sitar music and either meditating or reading his copy of the Gita and burning incense. And anything I do or say to try and convince him he's turned away from Christ is met with anger and an argument that "Jesus and Krishna are the same" because apparently George Harrison said so as did his Hindu friends the Prasad's. He doesn't even want to go to church anymore. He's actively searching for a Hindu temple to worship at now, locally.
I've been praying about it. But other than that I'm at a loss. He doesn't respect my opinion anymore. I guess what I'm asking is what should I do?
