This is new: Justifying SUV ownership because it's God's will:

Accommodates kids

Regarding the self-righteous, moralizing letters of July 30, in which the owners of SUVs were plastered with the labels of "socially irresponsible," "shallow" and "self-centered":

We are the owners of a Chevy Suburban, not because we simply love driving a very large vehicle that gets rather poor gas mileage but because we have chosen to gratefully accept from God the gift of five (so far) children. The Suburban is one of the few vehicles that can accommodate this many children in various car seats.

Of course, I write this letter with the realization that next week there could be another round of letters that will chastise us for having "too many" kids with whom we are overtaxing the environment, which seems to be regarded by some people as more sacred than children and even God.

Maybe churches should consider replacing their altars with Lincoln Navigators.
