Default Jesus wants you to drive a 4x4

With church attendance dwindling in Europe, the church bodies are now seeking to exploit people in places like Asia, Africa and South America, and giving them lessons in lifestyle.

Here's an article about one such church in South Africa

Article from Reuters

Just add on another reason I'd be a disappointment to the "religious". I can't imagine trying to flash expensive objects for the sake of it.

I guess this means I can consider my '92 Sable secular?

Will god keep it filled up with gas too? Couldn't he just make one that runs on air or something since he is all powerful?

If that article had appeared on The Onion instead, nobody would have batted an eyelid.

They've seen what the new age lot have done with regards to Paganism and followed their esample, "the difference between Pagan and new age is the placement of the decimal point, what costs you £30.00 from your local Pagan will cost £300.00 from your new age store".
