Being someone with a Baptist background but a liberal adult exposure, who considers himself a bit of a social libertarian, I thought I'd toss in a tertium quid and see the reaction. Some of you may have already seen a shorter version of this in response to a post on someone else's journal (cassaclyzm's, I think) but I hope to expand on the ideas, and address the concerns brought up in response. I ask that you all at least consider the option as something that would appease both sides. Please pardon my use of "they" to refer to all sides; I'm trying to distance myself. With that stated...
