If
I were the Devil
Adapted
from a Poem 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 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 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 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I would persuade people that religion is irrelevant and out
of date, and the God is for the naive;
I would dull the minds of religious folks, 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. |
