IF I WERE THE DEVIL
by Paul Harvey

 If I were the devil, I would gain control of the most powerful nation in
the world; I would delude their minds into thinking that they had come from
man's effort, instead of God's blessings;

I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of
the other way around;

 I would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for their state
revenue;

I would convince people that character is not an issue when it  comes to
leadership;

I would make it legal to kill unborn babies;

I would make it socially acceptable to take one's own life, and  invent
machines to make it convenient;

 I would cheapen human life as much as possible so that the life of animals
is valued more than human beings;

 I would take God out of the schools, where even the mention of  His name
was grounds for a lawsuit;

I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and target the  young, and I
would get sports heroes to advertise them;

I would get control of the media, so that every night I could pollute the
mind of every family member with my agenda;

I would attack the family, the backbone of any nation.

I would make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable. If the family
crumbles, so does the nation;

I would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas
and movie screens, and call it art;

I would convince the world that people are born homosexuals, and that their
lifestyles should be accepted;

I would convince the people that right and wrong are determined by a few
who call themselves authorities and refer to their agenda as politically
correct;

 I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, and
the Bible is for the naive;

I would dull the minds of Christians, and make them believe that prayer is
not important, and that faithfulness and obedience are  optional;

Hmmm... I guess if I were the devil, I'd leave things pretty much the way
they are.

Good day.
