  <body>&lt;p&gt;You saw it &lt;a href=&quot;http://stillsearching.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/are-you-a-christian-hipster/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;Christian hipsters tend not to like contemporary Christian music
(CCM), or Christian films (except ironically), or any non-book item
sold at &lt;em&gt;Family Christian Stores&lt;/em&gt;. They hate warehouse churches
or churches with American flags on stage, or churches with any flag on
stage, really. They prefer &amp;ldquo;Christ follower&amp;rdquo; to &amp;ldquo;Christian&amp;rdquo; and can&amp;rsquo;t
stand the phrases &amp;ldquo;soul winning&amp;rdquo; or &amp;ldquo;non-denominational,&amp;rdquo; and they
could do without weird and awkward evangelistic methods including (but
not limited to): sock puppets, ventriloquism, mimes, sign language,
&amp;ldquo;beach evangelism,&amp;rdquo; and modern dance. Surprisingly, they don&amp;rsquo;t really
have that big of a problem with old school evangelists like Billy
Graham and Billy Sunday and kind of love the really wild ones like
Aimee Semple McPherson.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
