Is America heading towards a Civil War?

As many of you now know the election held last Tuesday has pretty much split the country even further than it had been four years ago. Some of us wept when we heard the news, and some remained stoic or in a state of denial. Yes, I have to admit that my heart ached when I realized my visions were becoming reality. Yes, I also see that one of two things will happen. States that feel strongly about their freedoms being taken away will secede from the country and/or our personal identity will be lost and millions who weren't supposed to die, will die.

Government now controls every aspect of our lives. We accept that control because frankly we like to eat....I am reminded however of the story of Esau. Esau was the firstborn son of Isaac and as the firstborn son he was entitled to his father's property and was to be given his father's blessing. Because he was hungry, he sold his birthright to his brother Jacob. The birthright entitled Esau to his father's property, so in essence he sold his soul for the temporary relief of being full. America has done the same thing here. Yes, there are some good things to be said about the new healthcare law...everyone will be covered....but at what cost? I'll tell you at what cost...the cost of our identity..

The question I pose with this post isn't simple. There are many factors that come into play when you talk about civil war. As much as this country is polarized right now with the myriad of new rules and regulations looming on the horizon and with the threat of our personal identity being compromised, I do believe that it will only be a matter of time and a few other factors before we see some real signs of a split between the Christian worldview and the Islamic worldview that is increasingly coming into focus within this country.
