Group Targets Car Pollution Via Ads
(AP) - Car buyers in four states will soon hear a religious appeal to their environmental conscience: "What would Jesus drive?" A Pennsylvania-based environmental group is planning television advertising in North Carolina, Iowa, Indiana and Missouri to urge consumers to park their pollutive SUVs — Jesus would prefer a cleaner auto, the group contends. "Economic issues are moral issues. There really isn't a decision in your life that isn't a moral choice," said the Rev. Jim Ball, executive director of the Evangelical Environmental Network.

Ok - this isn't BDSM related... but there are some funny, insightful people here. What would Jesus drive these days?

(And nope, I mean no disrespect, but you've gotta admit - it's kind of funny. )

As to Jesus driving a vehicle, let's examine this a bit....

First, he is a carpenter. A lousy carpenter because he spends a lot of time to the irkst of his father, messing around with other semi-employed personages of questionable means of support. To this, for once I would have to agree with the christians on the point that Jesus would not be driving an SUV. Way out of that boy's price range.

Second, he is still a carpenter. Thus the hippee stnad bys of '69 VW Bugs are out of the question, as are Geo Metros. They are just too tiny for his lifestyle.

Third, he needs to be noticed and draw a crowd so he can stop being a carpenter and try his hand at the impromptu public speaking thing whenever the oppertunity presents itself. So your standard sedans, minivans, and station wagons are out for that purpose. They blend into the background too well.

Which leads us to our fourth consideration, flashy sports cars. THey would get him the attention he craves, catch the odd Mary Magdolin's eye maybe. But given his financial status, they too like the SUV are beyond his economic realities.

Though, this is not entirely enough investigation into Jesus' automotive proclivities, I shall arrive at five and pass judgement upon thee..

Jesus, the semi-employed carpenter adn part time motivational speaker, would in my opinion, and that is all it is; be driving a light blue pick up truck (probalby a chevy, I don't know why, but it just feels right, kinda like the faded light blue paint job *shrug*), right rear fender slightly dented, a few bits of rust on the body, perhaps in need of a minor repair job or too. But reliable, and serviceable to his profession. Practicallity, for the man who has a wooden cup and is destined to be hung up like sheet rock for telling people they ought to be nice to each other.

There you have an all too quick look at the automotive prefernces of the man from Nazzerath.

To anyone who could be offended by my analysis, Christians, Ford fans, minivan drivers, and public speaking carpenters alike. Please note this is in no way intended to rile you. It is as much a joke as the advertising efforts of the group who asked the question. You should never ask a question if the answer might frighten you.

If we are supposed to be considering environmental issues as moral issues, and attempting to perserve the world around us, why focus on cars? I would think the greatest "moral considerations", in regards to the environment, are disposable diapers. Hell, a car can be salvaged, even melted down and recycled. Those diapers hang around for 500 years.

 

[lark sparrow]

LOL well done! Ford taurus... Blue, chevy pick up truck, it works.

Hmmm, on the SUVs I think they mean the polluting they do while running and their gas hogging tendencies.

But thinks this is a new cause in adult baby play. No more disposal diapers! Environment friendly Dom/mes unite - send those cloth diapers to the slaves of the world for hand laundering...

Jesus would do it.

Unfortunately, the group who originally asked the question were probably serious. Along with gays & feminists, people who drive SUV's will probably soon be blamed for 9-11.

Jesus seemed a kinder and gentler sort - prone to rubbing shoulders with prostitues and lepers. If that's true, I think their version of God might actually drive an SUV personally. Big, powerful, unforgiving, and ready to run your a$$ down!

It just seemed an ironic spin on marketing. What would Buddha drive? What a question.

Jesus -- a Harley!

 

[lovetoread]

I see him in a Lexus.

 

[WriterDom]

Jesus would take Mass transit.

My thought exactly. Yep...Jesus on a Harley, riding to spread His word.

LOL well in a biblical sense Jesus always walked or road in boats. I am guessing he would not keep money on him to take mass transit or to buy a car. Better answer would be he wouldn't drive at all but be in the backseat letting the apostles do all the driving. The question then becomes is he a backseat driver?

Of course, whinnying and snorting, actually pretending to be a horse holds very little appeal... would have to be of the sassy talking mr ed variety... umm unless I was told to shaddup of course.

Jesus is obviously a hitchhiker. You know, an intense bearded man with a faraway look who won't stop talking about his personal philosophy. A John Deere baseball cap and a pair of busted cowboy boots.

Thus, when riding with Philistines, he rides in an SUV, with Good Samaritans in a Volvo, with the Devil in one of those vans serial killers drive. Big-rig truckers always stop for him; they know him for one of their own. He's usually good for a meal in a truckstop, roadhouse or diner. You wouldn't believe how much coffee he can drink.
