I think this technique of guilting Christians into complying with liberal social engineering will be seen more and more.

What kind of car would Jesus drive? Not a gas guzzling, piggish SUV from hell.

What kind of house would Jesus have? Not an oversized showhome that has wasted trees and other resources just to satiate some heathen ego need.

What kind of land scaping would Jesus have?

What kind of material would Jesus wear? Not pagan ployester!

It's amazing that these 'religious leaders' would tout this car crap which has nothing to do with spirituality and ignore 25,000 dead shredded aborted babies a week in the USA, which is very much linked to spirituality.

Thank you! This reminds me of Jesus saying that when it came to the Law, the Pharisees would swallow a camel yet choke on a gnat.

What a bunch of hypocrites.
They actually believe it is their mission in life to nit-pick about who is driving a car that gets 25 mpg vs an SUV that gets 17 mpg.
I wonder what kind of car they would prefer to drive to Hell. Incredible.

WWJDrive? Definitely a Yugo.

Those things were a daily test of Faith.

I'm a Christian. On that note, I'm quite happy with my guzzling, high maintenance Trans Am.

Probably a pickup truck since he was a carpenter.

A Plymouth. Didn't he chase Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a fury.#^)

I have to say, there is a difference between applying the teachings of Scripture and the principles therein to life and government, and taking Christ's name and using it for political purposes. These people are doing the latter. I am convinced that it amounts to "using the Lord's name in vain" and I find it quite repulsive. You make a valid point about their obsession with this and their disinterest in the problem of what amounts to legalized infanticide.

``What Would Jesus Drive?''

Probably these religious charlatans out of the Temple/Church, out of town and into the river where they belong...

Here's a link to a previous post for your edification and amusement....

You know, I owned one of those, a 1973 Plymouth Fury III, yellow. Of course, I owned it in 1993....my first car. My friends called it "Sherman" -- I miss it!

It's funny you say this. A mucky muck for the National Council of Churches was on Al Rantel in L.A. today. Rantel asked him about the abortion issue and why aren't they taking a stance against abortion.

The man hemmed and hawed in all sorts of directions, saying that there is diveristiy among the NCC regarding abortion.

A caller then laid him out, calling him a hypocrite for not taking a stance on abortion. The man would not say his views. But he said the NCC has people who are "pro-choice" and people who are "anti-choice." It was quite clear where he stands.

He even claimed that the NCC is a conservative organization.

I was predestined to drive an SUV..therefore SUV's must be part of Gods plan

This is not "religious leaders" ... this is a small coterie of Leftist environmentalist types using a "Christian" platform to spread a political message.

LOL!!!
