What would Jesus drive?

It's a controversial question implied in a daring new Chevrolet marketing campaign in which the automaker is hitching cars to faith in Christ during 16 evangelical concerts that will end at the Palace on Nov. 23.

I would have thought this was from the Onion. But it is for real. Never in a million years would I have thought Max Lucado would go in for something like this.

Could you please cut the gibberish off of the top of the article. Thanks.

Using religious services for advertising? Somebody please gag me. I'm all for peserving and restoring a Christian culture in this country, but not in such bad taste. Ugh.

This is nearly as bad as that Bible theme park somone wanted to build in Florida. (I'm not sure if it was ever built. I hope not.)

Bump

Amazing! If they keep this up, my next vehicle might be a Chevy. Another good reason to sell to Christians, they won't use their Chevy to blow up people who disagree with them.

They did build it and you cannot criticize it unless you go to it. It is very good.

Theme park takes visitors through a 'living museum' of Christianity
