I found this post on C Michael Patton's blog. This is pretty funny for you fellow theology egg-heads out there. Patton wrote the top ten reasons the"Emerging Church Guru didn't cross the road. Enjoy:
10. Because he did not want to be labeled.
9. Because he was not absolutely certain that he could cross since in order to get to the other side, you would have to go half way, and in order to go half way, you would have to go half way to the half way, and in order to go half way to the half way, you would have to go half way, ad infinitum.
7. Because only arrogant people cross roads.
6. The liquor store was on his side. ( :) Come on, lighten up!)
5. Because they don’t ordain women or homosexuals to street preaching on the other side.
4. Because everyone crosses the road, it must be wrong.
3. Because to cross the road you have to go West.
2. Because it was a one-way street.
1. Because he did not want to be accused of J-Mac-ing.
In resonse (and out of all fairness) someone commented a funny response with the top ten reasons the Reformed Theologian didn't cross the road. These were just as funny (or funnier, depending on your perspective I guess).
10. A woman already crossed, and he would be in sin if he followed.
9. The road is not safe if it wasn’t built between 1600-1800 AD
8. He believes that “road crossing” has ceased
7. Obama is the crossing guard
6. Neither Piper, Carson, or Mac have written about the road yet
5. The “Walk” sign was gender neutral
4. The road was built by “leaders” not “elders”
3. The road seemed to be built for all people
2. The road seemed mysterious
1. He is too busy to think about “the road” because he is still investigating “the shack”
