Old Joke – What Would Jesus Drive?
My daughter started her first day at a Catholic School for girls today. In surfing the web I realize that there are parts of the Bible my husband (a Jewish, motorcycle-riding, Philosophy major) & IÂ may have neglected to explain. To help with this:
Most people assume WWJD is for “What would Jesus do?” But the initials really stand for “What would Jesus drive?”
Â
 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.”
Â
 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.”
Â
 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.”
Â
 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”
Â
 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.”
Â
 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 carpooled in a Honda ..”The Apostles were in one Accord.”!!!!   Â
Â
I saw this on a website that appears to have taken it down but I found it on an earlier site Church of Todays Resource Listing check the 11/14/04 listing. Don’t read if you go to church & like the pastor’s jokes. (There must be every old religious joke ever told here.)
