I have known and ♥ed many a Unitarian Universalist in my day, and you are one of the finest. :)
I think one of the zillions of reasons I love Jimmy so is that I am Baptist, or at least was raised so (since I tend to wax hot and cold about retaining the label ever since seminary, lol). It's tough enough to bear up under the label "Christian" when you're an intelligent, liberal, non-creepy person, but good Lord, to call yourself "Baptist" is to tar yourself with the same brush as Jimmy fucking Falwell. It doesn't get much worse than that. But Jimmy Carter is living proof that we're not all in favor of starting up the witch hunts (for just about everybody) again.
