Many on the Right in America are God fearing. Many on the Left are Mother Nature worshipping. Many on Right are convinced Trump election was literally stolen. Many on the Left are convinced that Trump was trying to steal the election. Many on the Right are concerned that the Lefts battle to silence them in the public square is exactly what the Nazis did. Many on the Left are concerned that Trump and his followers are repeating what Hitler did. The author isn’t predicting a holy war but is making an observation that the elements are present for one to break out. Remember friends, “The joy of the Lord is my strength.” If you are depressed by all this news instead of excited for what Jesus is about to do, then shut off the news and spend more time reading the Bible, praying, laughing with friends and using the gifts the Holy Spirit gave you.

We stand at enormous risk today of “holy war” in America.
Usually those words are used as a figure of speech, or even as a joke. Today I mean neither of these. We’re looking at the grave possibility of the real thing. Not that there’s anything the least bit holy about “holy wars.” The name comes instead from both sides believing they’re fighting morally necessary battles, for values of of ultimate, sacred importance. Both sides, I emphasize. We could be on the brink of that such an unholy disaster even now, even in America.
I do not write this as a prediction of holy war, only to describe the conditions that have put us at unacceptably high risk of one.
Be advised that it’s very likely you will react as you read some portions of this. “How could their side have done that to us!? Look at them — it’s all their fault! How could they think they’re so right?! They’re trying to destroy everything this country stands for!” Be assured that people on the other side are saying the same about yours. That’s why this is so fraught with danger.
I’ll try to describe the situation as objectively as I can.
