Now playing: "Green Jesus", by Greg Hile. Sunday, April 26, 2009.

At the end of the sermon, the congregation viewed slides based on the following, posted on the internet on Earth Day 2009.

I have never seen...

A bison throw a cigarette butt out a car window

A flock of geese rip the top off a mountain

A seal cause an oil spill

A hippo drive a Hummer off a dealer's lot

A lemur leave the faucet dripping

A raccoon go out for the evening and leave all the lights in the house on

A bobcat fight legislation to lower smokestack emissions

A songbird sing "Drill Baby, Drill"

A panda dump raw sewage into a river

A pride of lions so dependent on oil that they're willing to wage war over it

A slug claim that our biggest worry is global cooling

A gorilla fail to keep its tires properly inflated

A salmon pollute a stream with mercury

An elephant claim that his God says it's okay to pillage the world's natural resources willy-nilly because pachyderms are the "chosen ones"

A lizard mock public transportation

A penguin claim that the melting polar ice caps are no big deal

A crocodile think up new ways to go overboard on plastic packaging for portable electronics

A Yangtze River dolphin do much of anything lately
