Lou Dobbs just quoted an email citing the Bible, words to the effect that 'Jesus met with the disciples and they were in Accord' or similar.

He is a carpenter and a fisher of men. That can mean only one vehicle. An old Ford pick-up truck that needs a ring job.

Jesus driving a Honda? WOW! Now there's a revelation.
To: MotleyGirl70
I don't own an SUV, but I would like to, one day. If nanrod thinks that makes me an a**hole, then she can give me a big kiss.

Comment by a New yorker on his recent trip to Texas is that he has never seen so many carpenters and plumbers driving all those P/U trucks.P/U outnumber cars down here in Houston.I prefer the Z-71 chevy,I am not a plumber but I play one at work!hehe.
To: naine
Jesus didn't own much, so I doubt he'd drive and I doubt he'd have money for public transportation. I suspect he would rely on the kindness of strangers to provide him with transportation. I bet he wouldn't judge people by the cars they drove, rather, he'd spend his time with them teaching love for God and for one another.
If someone asked him what his opinion of SUVs was, I sure don't know what he'd say, but I bet it would be a clever answer, like about judging your brother for the speck in his eye when you have a plank in yours.

Notice how liberals only give a hang about what Christians think is when they are agreeing with them.

There is little weirder than the religious LEFT.
Unsurprisingly, the Evangelical Environmental Network has already decided for you what Jesus would drive: either nothing or a Yugo:
Please consider taking the following What Would Jesus Drive Pledge prayerfully. Pollution from cars hurts people and the rest of God's creation. Driving impacts human health, contributes to global warming, and increases our reliance on oil from unstable countries and environmentally sensitive areas. Making transportation choices that threaten millions of human beings violates Jesus' basic commandments: "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mk. 12:30-31); and "Do to others as you would have them do to you" (Lk. 6:31). In making my transportation choices with the Risen Lord Jesus, I believe He wants me to travel in ways that reduce pollution and consumption of gasoline.
Confessing Jesus Christ to be my Savior and Lord, including Lord of my transportation choices, I pledge the following.
- I will organize my life so that it is easier and more desirable to walk, bike, car pool, and use public transportation.
- If I need to purchase a vehicle, I will choose the most fuel efficient and least polluting vehicle available that truly fits my needs.
- I will discuss with others the moral concerns and solutions associated with transportation.
- I will encourage automobile manufacturers to produce the most fuel-efficient and least polluting vehicles possible that truly fit the needs of the American people.
- I will urge government leaders to support public transportation, a significant increase in fuel economy standards, and research and development for promising new transportation technologies that reduce pollution and increase fuel efficiency.
Since I love my neighbor to have a nice car just as I would, and I would like others to drive happily without running my over just as I would do the same for them, I can only presume that
my Jesus wants me to drive the coolest thing I can afford. And He wants you to take up a collection to buy me a new Jag.

He had 12 apostles to drag around. I see a big Winnebago. ROTFL.......

I don't know what Jesus would drive, but God drives an old Plymouth. It's in the Bible, look it up. It says, "And God drove Adam and Eve out in a Fury"

Since the disciples practiced concealed carry, I also presume driving an SUV would have been OK.
