Jesus loves the Prius



If anyone sees this message, I would strongly recommend that you pick up a copy of today's New York Times.  On the front page of Business Day there is an article outlining the position of several religious advocacy groups, including representation of Christians and Jews, that is purporting a "What Would Jesus Drive?" initiative that is exhorting Detroit automakers to produce vehicles, namely SUVs and trucks, that gain better fuel economy.  Apparently, they are of the opinion that condoning the production of such vehicles is tantamount to violating the long standing Judeo-Christian ethics of being faithful stewards of God's creation as well as honoring one's neighbors. Rev. Jim Ball goes so far as to say,"How can I love my neighboras myself if I am filling his lungs with pollution?"
Let me reiterate -THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!  
Finally we have a common ground for people of various faiths to unite in opposition to the Great Satan - the Ford Excursion!!!!!
