What Would Jesus Drive?

Does religion have a place in this issue?

Interesting take on the issue.

WHen James Watt was Secretary of the Interior in the 1980s, he opined that it was our moral duty to use up the environment as rapidly as we could, because Jesus’s second coming was at hand!

I believe it’s been pretty much established that Jesus would drive a Chrystler! :smiley:

No, no, I’ve been told that Jesus would drive an SUV so he could fit all the Apostles in.

He could drive a Chrystler minivan and fit them all in!

Okay, seriously. I am not a Christian, and some would argue that Jesus has no place in environmental politics regardless of whether he is being used to send a liberal or conservative message. However, I have to say that if this campaign will reach an audience that would not otherwise listen, whats the harm?

Might I ask a supplementary question?:
What “heat” would Jesus pack?

Christ strikes me as a fan of the ‘light and fast’ school. 9mm, 115gr +P+ Corbon. Probably a Bul or Israeli Hi-Power. Peter, well, he’s a .45 230gr man all the way.

I thought this was a joke (in the spirit of many of the replies) until I saw the link. In essence though, I agree with the OP. What’s the harm? Sure, it may offend people, but if everything that offended someone was stopped, no one would do anything.

Using Jesus to sell anything is kinda sad…

But then I feel the same way about Christians.

Jesus drove a Honda, although he didn’t own it. John 8:42: “For I come not of my own Accord, but of my Father’s.”

Thanks for the link Jonny. Believe it or not, I did a search for this topic before I posted the link. I was certain it was too good not to have a fellow-doper see it before me. I need to refine my search skills.

I think it’s great! It’s about time someone connected Christianity with preserving the Earth. If you believe in God, it seems completely irrational to assume He created it to be trashed.

Sadly, though, there are certain televangelists who would disagree with you. One of them, and forgive me, but all of them tend to run together in my head since Tammy Faye and Robert Tilton (yes, I know, they weren’t married, Tammy and Jim were) got yanked from the air waves, basically said that environmentalists were all pagans and that God meant for us to do with the Earth as we chose, and since He was coming any day now, it didn’t matter a pair of fetid dingos kidneys what we did to it.

Jesus liked to suffer, so he would drive an '81 Pinto (with Nitrous, for kicks). :slight_smile:

We know exactly what Jesus drives. We even have pictures of it.
