LABELS

IF I WERE THE DEVIL...........

By Paul Harvey
© 1999 Paul Harvey News


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 take the life of 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 for 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 I would call it art;I would then funnel tax dollars to promote this art.


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


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I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, and the Bible is for the naive;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


I guess I would leave things pretty much the way they are.
