Although they say that everything on facebook is there for ever, in practice the visibility of any one item is very transient. This fantastic rap came up on Radio<\/a> Free<\/a> Babylon<\/a> last week and has already dropped off the front page.

We\u2019re reformed. We\u2019re fundamental.
\nWe\u2019re traditional. Experiential.
\nWe\u2019re Shakers. We\u2019re Quakers.
\nWe\u2019re Baptists. We\u2019re Trappists.
\nWe\u2019re Friends. We\u2019re with the Brethren.
\nWe\u2019re addicts. We\u2019re reverends.
\nWe\u2019re insecure. We\u2019re not so sure.
\nWe\u2019re being cured. We\u2019re not so pure.
\nWe\u2019re Charismatic. We\u2019re problematic.
\nWe\u2019re Latter Rain. We feel your pain.
\nWe\u2019re old fashioned. We\u2019re progressive.
\nWe\u2019re laid back. We\u2019re aggressive.
\nWe\u2019re a throwback to the fast track.
\nWe\u2019re with the Jew—and He\u2019s with you.
\nWe\u2019re disciples. We\u2019re students.
\nWe\u2019re careless—and imprudent.
\nWe\u2019re sinners. We\u2019re winners.
\nThe air seems thinner. We\u2019re at the dinner.<\/p>\n

Where you\u2019ve been and where you\u2019re gonna be is not for us to see.
\nWhat you did and what you\u2019re gonna do is not what qualifies you.
\nIs it true that we\u2019re just what we perceive—or what we think we believe?
\nWe\u2019re just trying to finish the float—and there\u2019s room in the boat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
