Emergent Failure

The ultimate termination of the emerging theology will come via rejection from the crowd that they are trying to reach. They are trying to relate to a generation with no absolutes by eliminating their own absolutes. This is an effective method at first, but is untenable and ultimately doomed.
At the end of the day the postmodern generation will choose an organization, leader, movement or event that reinforces their views the strongest. The true Jesus will never suffice. Until the emergent leaders drive pre-teen girls to the abortion clinic and force them to have an abortion (whether they need it or not), burn an American flag to protest lack of federal funding of gay marriage, handcuff themselves to trees, key SUV's to protest climate terrorism and rig voting machines to vote for socialist candidates, these "converts" will never truly convert.
Right now, the emergent/emerging church is the enemy of traditional evangelicalism. As such, the postmoderns are befriending the enemy of their enemy. Just as the communists allied with America to stop Hitler only to build massive weapons of mass destruction aimed at our living rooms, so too the postmoderns befriend a movement critical of fundamentalists only to arm up and convert or destroy the movement. The emergent leaders who don't understand this don't truly understand their focus group very well.
What is the point of being postmodern if eventually someone says you can't do something?
Eventually, these leaders will be forced to actually make a decision on an important issue and go on the record with it. When they do, if it is not within the hypo-narrow requirements of the postmodern open mindedness, they will be rejected by them. If the leaders decide in favor of the postmodern views, then they will be banished by the church to the dung heap of all aberrant heretical movements forever. This is the precise reason that asking them to make a decision on something as simple as homosexuality is like trying to dig a ditch with a pencil sharpener. The leaders are smart enough to know that if they answer questions, their target audience abandons them or the church excommunicates their ridiculous theosophies. So they continue to promote gelatinous postulations while concluding nothing in order to sustain their ultimately futile system.
In conclusion, the emergent movement will sacrifice the truth in all its forms in order to give birth to a foundationless system which attracts a group of people who will not even remain true to this bastardized redefinition of Jesus and the church. Hoisted up by their own petard, the leaders will find that in the end, the emergent movement crumbled under the principles of its own obsequious disengenousness.
