Short answer - An Enemy Within is more destructive than an outsider.
I am a conservative(not a fundamentalist) What is the difference between conservatism and fundamentalism?
Conservatism is generally the belief or attitude of wanting to preserve traditional institutions within society and culture.
Fundamentalism takes the conclusions of a philosophy and uses them as givens for any future analysis.
Cancer cells are part of the body yet stand against it.On the other hand Pathogens
can cause trouble but when compared to cancer cells they cause less
damage. Liberals are like cancer cells and atheist is like pathogen.
Conservative
Christians are clear about what they believe and think. They know what
the Bible says; they know who they are; they know what they’re doing in
life. Jesus is the Lord.
Liberal Christians are seriously
focused on God's love, and they're not afraid to insist that anything
that hinders that love must be suspect. The concept of Sin is almost
irrelevant. For them Jesus was mainly is a social activist than Jesus
the savior.
Some Major differences
1. Abortion
Liberals:
Support the right for a woman to decide for herself whether or not she
will have an abortion. The life of the unborn is not
considered.(Freedom)
Conservatives: For
them a ‘human life’ is much more valuable than a woman’s right. They
abortion would be completely banned as it goes against Church teachings
and morality.
[Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill ]
2. Same-sex Marriage
Liberals: Most liberals support same-sex marriage. (Freedom)
Conservatives: The
Bible condemns homosexuality as an immoral and unnatural sin. Same-sex
marriage is against what the Bible defines marriage as.
[Leviticus 18:22 (ESV) 22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.]
3. Birth Control
Liberals: See,
most liberals (as I said earlier) aren’t pro-abortion. And the best way
to lower abortion rates is to increase the accessibility and
availability of birth control.
Conservatives: Many
conservatives oppose birth control. They believe it’s against their
religion. If it were up to many of them they’d do as much as they could
to limit and restrict access to all forms of contraceptives.
[Psalm
127:3–4 (ESV) 3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, he fruit
of the womb a reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the
children of one’s youth. l]
4. Concerning the Bible:
Liberals
do not see the Bible as authoritative in the way Conservatives do. They
deem much of Scripture to be a historical, not believing in a literal
Exodus, virgin birth of Christ, or that Jesus actually did and said all
that was attributed to him in the Gospels.
Conservative Christians view the Bible as God’s inerrant word.
Mercy, freedom, open mindedness, do not judge are
the favorite words for liberals. Using these they try to corrupt the
teaching of Jesus. Jesus and faith are less important. Hence they pose a
greater treat to the Christianity.
These words from Marcus Tullius Cicero explains why liberal Christian pose a greater threat to Christianity than an atheist.
“A
nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot
survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable,
for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves
amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through
all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the
traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his
victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the
baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a
nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the
pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no
longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
