It's hard to claim an identity in a divided world....

So, I'm stealing this idea from a few other blogs, but it makes too much sense not to use.  So here is why I would make a lousy Progressive and a lousy Evangelical.

Why I'd make a lousy Progressive:
1. I'm not a universalist.
2. I talk a lot about creation care and radical inclusivity, but I"m not very good at either one.
3. I think Paul was an alright guy.
4. I believe Jesus really did physically rise from the grave.
5. And I believe His mom was a virgin.
6. Sometimes I get tired of deconstructing theology and questioning orthodoxy.
7. Even though I won't be joining the GOP any time soon, I don't have much faith in the Democrats either.

Why I'd make a lousy Evangelical:
1. I believe the world is billion years old.
2. While I haven't read The Origin of Species yet, I think there's some truth to Darwin.
3.  I do NOT watch Fox News!
4. I don't believe in Just War theory.
5. I've never "kissed dating goodbye."
6. I don't think a specially worded prayer has much to do with salvation.
7. I think the cross did more for sin than some are willing to admit.

There it is. Maybe we "in-betweeners" can get together sometime.
