Would Jesus Drive an SUV?

What kind of car does Jesus drive? This is a provocative question from a group called the Evangelical Environment Network. And it insists that the answer is fuel efficient.

In advertising campaigns broadcast in four states, the organization says that Christians have a moral obligation to protect the environment by abandoning fuel-efficient SUVs, minivans and pickups.

According to the commercial, "We have so many cars, trucks, SUVs contaminating our air." And that compromises our health, especially our children's health. "

In television commercials in Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina there will be a question "What kind of car does Jesus drive?"

Pastor Baptist, director of Baptist Environment Network, Jim Bower said that the relationship between Jesus' teachings and the fuel economy of the car is clear.

"Looking at the impact of traffic on human health and global warming, Jesus is a great doctor of the body and soul," Bower told Good Morning America. "The basic teaching of Jesus is to love your neighbors like you.How can you do this when you fill the lungs of your neighbors with pollution?"

"I wanted to see concrete schedule and goals to improve fuel economy," Bower said. "He said that he will come back to us."

However, considering SUV, minivans and pickups account for half of all vehicles sold in the US last year. Do they have the right to associate religious people with car sales?

Pastor Robertson, a pastor of the Christian broadcasting network, said in a statement, "I think that the concept of linking Jesus to anti-SUV movement is close to embarrassment."

In addition, the automotive industry does not believe that if he is in the showroom he will drive a small car.

A spokesman for the Washington Automobile Manufacturers Association, Gloria Bergist said,

For them, automakers are seeking godly Christians, but their view is different.

Apart from religious considerations, when consumers decide which car is suitable for him, they may remember riding and walking in the bible in the donkey. It is the most fuel efficient way in his time and in our time.

An increasing anti-SUV rally made it unlikely that league will fight heavy-duty vehicles. Activists include columnist and socialite Arianna Huffington and other forces, and SUV is accused of its television advertising that its dependence on the Middle East's oil has increased. An environmental safety activist who puts a sticker or bumper sticker on the SUV is the owner of "fee", threatening the earth and polluting the earth. 1

Mileage is not the most powerful feature of SUV. SUV is heavier than normal cars, so gasoline is necessary to use it. This leads to long-term fuel cost increase. However, some brands and models of your SUV can get better or better gas mile than many large vehicles. SUV emits more emissions than compact cars. Increased smoke is directly related to the accelerated gas usage required for SUVs. As it uses more gasoline for basic driving functions, more emissions are pumped into the air, which can result in greater carbon dioxide emissions. SUV has been attacked by various environmental organizations

The main purpose of SUV is to pursue elements of off-road difficult terrain, weather adventure. For this reason, SUV has power, power, high clearance, and body frame chassis. However, SUV is no longer limited to the field of adventurers and off-loaders. These cars are recognized by celebrities, and more and more families feel that these cars are very convenient even in the urban environment. This is particularly true if you have to steer your car in the snow, or if you have to pull the trailer and caravan.
