If I were the devil
\nBy Paul Harvey

I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world;
\nI would delude their minds into thinking that they had come from man’s effort, instead of God’s blessings;
\nI would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of the other way around;
\nI would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for their state revenue;
\nI would convince people that character is not an issue when it comes to leadership;
\nI would make it legal to take the life of unborn babies;
\nI would make it socially acceptable to take one’s own life, and invent machines to make it convenient;
\nI would cheapen human life as much as possible so that the life of animals are valued more than human beings;
\nI would take God out of the schools, where even the mention of His name was grounds for a lawsuit;
\nI would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and target the young, and I would get sports heroes to advertise them;
\nI would get control of the media, so that every night I could pollute the mind of every family member for my agenda;
\nI would attack the family, the backbone of any nation.
\nI would make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable. If the family crumbles, so does the nation;
\nI would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas and movie screens, and I would call it art;
\nI would convince the world that people are born homosexuals, and that their lifestyles should be accepted and marveled;
\nI 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;
\nI would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, and the Bible is for the naive;
\nI would dull the minds of Christians, and make them believe that prayer is not important, and that faithfulness and obedience are optional;
\nI guess I would leave things pretty much the way they are. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
