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 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 the church
is
irrelevant and out of date, and the Bible
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.
