The "religious right" should give us all free gas; since they put in the candidate (GWB) who engineered the tripling of gasoline prices.

Those churches do not work for Jesus; they work for Texas oil and the Saudis.

Good Marketing IMO. If they want people to choose them over one of the thousand others, then they need to set them selves apart. If people only go just for the gas card. So be it.
