Oh good sweet Koresh, here is our secret
weapon!! Transportation as a moral issue.
Funny thing is, I pretty much agree that
SUVs are amoral, but this is a riot.
Besides, I know that Jesus would drive a
Saturn with a "Reelect Gore 2004" sticker
and G_d drives a fully solar powered electric
car.

because transportation is a moral issue
Most people assume WWJD is for "what would Jesus do?"
But the initials really stand for "What would Jesus drive?"
One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth because "the
Bible says God
drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury." But
in Psalm 83, the Almighty
clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. The passage urges the Lord to "pursue
your enemies
with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm."
Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers are warned
not to
go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds a long blast."
Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to talk about
it.
As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel where Christ tells the
crowd.
"For I did not speak of my own Accord..."
Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced by a Bible
passage
declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph is heard in the hills."
Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler:
"Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land."
And, following the Master's lead, the Apostles car pooled in a Honda...
"The Apostles were in one Accord."
