Top Ten Reasons I'm Not Emergent

10. I can't grow facial hair.

9. I don't actually like Guinness.

8. I don't see the point in pretending I'm not liberal.

7. I've never posted a video to YouTube.

6. I've never liked Johnny Cash

5. I'm sure as hell not going to drink PBR just so I can be "ironic."

4. I don't have a fixed-gear bicycle and don't know why I'd want one.

3. I have no idea what Sufjan Stevens even sounds like.

2. I last updated my Twitter feed two months ago.

1. I actually know what deconstruction is.

[Disclaimer: I don't have any significant beef with the emerging church, which seems to be a combination of self-absorbed hipsters and people asking important questions. Sometimes these are the same people.]

I always thought you had to shave your head to be emergent?

I think that's only for 20th degree and above

You forgot about tattoos. Or do you have them?

I think I'm the combination self-absorbed person/question asker. I would like to be a hipster, but I think I look too suburban.

Doh. I didn't even think about tattoos. I don't have any.

As for the rest, two out of three ain't bad. :)
