If I Were the Devil By: Paul Harvey

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I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out
of date, and the Bible is for the naive;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