"Unless I am misunderstanding your post, you cannot be a social libertarian and a moral conservative Christian. "

Sure you can. You just don't demand that the government force everyone else to act like a moral conservative Christian.

I take it then that you believe that morality has no part in any laws, right?

Do you believe that women should be able to abort(murder) their unborn babies?

Do you believe that perverts, A.K.A. Homosexuals should be able to control what you say or do with respect to their lifestyles, even if it violates your religion?

Do you believe as the founders did, that the system of governance that they created was only for a Christian nation and that if this nation walked away from God, that it would destroy itself?

Do you believe, as the founders did, that it was OK for the states to outlaw Buggery or Sodomy?

Morality is a necessary foundation for a civil society.

God himself defined the type of laws that should govern a nation in the Old Testament of the Bible, they included laws against Sodomy, they included all types of laws where morality is concerned. Christ made it clear that he did not come to condemn the law, in fact, he declared quite clearly not to change one jot or tittle where the law was concerned. He said he came to fulfill the law, not destroy it.

If you are truly a Christian, you cannot compartmentalize your life by putting your politics outside your Christianity.

This is where Libertarians fail their Christianity, their God, and their conservatism.
