Pretty good work!

I describe myself as a libertarian-Christian patriot fusionist, and it's pretty tough sledding!

The Christians cannot survive a government powerful enough, as this one is, to come after their children. The power of the state must be reduced, radically in order for them to get their children back.

This reduced state will be permissive to all sorts of misbehavior which Christians abhor, but that is a small price to pay, IMHO, for the souls of their kids.

OTOH, the libertarians have to give up, "if it feels good, do it" because a lot of things that feel good, although they "don't hurt anyone" are socially destructive in the long run.

Can't we all just get along?

Well, since the 'behavior Christians abhor' correlates with 'feels good, do it,' I think you have already described the solution.

"OTOH, the libertarians have to give up, "if it feels good, do it" because a lot of things that feel good, although they "don't hurt anyone" are socially destructive in the long run."

"If it feels good, do it" is hereby given up. Welcome aboad the Liberty Train. I'll supply an appropriate certificate certifying this renunciation, if you require it.
