Hey, we all know about how liberals and conservatives are
always at each others’ throats over religion and environmentalism, etc., right?
Well, how about this as an idea to bring them all, together: Jesus’s Renewable
Energy Company! Yes, you see, we all know the story about the two sets of
footprints on the beach, and the one set being when Jesus carried you, right?
Well, the truth is, Jesus only carried you to reduce you carbon footprint. And
that’s why Jesus wants us to create green energy solutions in His name! And
then all the religious social conservatives would support it wholeheartedly!
(Right?)
And how about this for an idea: Have an ad that shows how
green energy can return the Earth to being like the Garden of Eden (but without
serpents this time!). Then they could tie the idea of green energy and
environmentalism into the Bible, and perhaps get some religious conservatives
on board with it. Hey, it’s worth a try, isn’t it? Co-opt some religious themes
and Biblical stories and teachings, and maybe liberals could somehow build a
bridge to the other side to work together on making the world a better place,
rather than just always butting heads over everything. Show interest in the
other side’s values, find a way to make them intersect, and build consensus. I
know that’s the opposite of what our political system is making us do, but
that’s not getting us very far, so why not try something new and more amicable? But it’s just an idea.
