Hi Virgil,

I’m genuinely wondering why you are posting on a thread about our environmental responsibility as beings entrusted with honoring the created earth if your best suggestion is mass suicide. Perhaps my implicit criticism SUVs as being environmentally irresponsible hit a little close to home. Obviously the question WWJD is almost always a hypothetical, because duh, Jesus didn’t drive! No arrogance was intended, but I this does not mean I don’t have an opinion, based on my understanding of what it means to be a caretaker of the earth. None of us has “arrived” in any area of Christian living — certainly not me. My neighborhood only recycles certain things, and I have yet to prioritizing signing up a the dump and making weekly trips to recycle the things my development doesn’t pick up. Jesus would probably make that a priority. But do you really think Jesus would drive an SUV given the current environmental and socio-political situation RE oil? I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. I’m not saying you are a bad person or that anyone else who drives an SUV is, but I do think the widespread use of SUVs a something of a problem that should be addressed if we want to be preservers of the environment and not just consumers.
