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I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out
of date, and the Bible is naive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