IF I WERE THE DEVIL
	"I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world.
	I would delude people's minds into thinking that they had come from man's effort instead of from 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 that human beings.
	I would take God out of the schools, where even the mention of His name was grounds for a law suit.
	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'd make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable.  After all, 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	I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date and that the Bible is for the naive.
	I would dull the minds of Christians, 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."
	Paul Harvey
	1 Peter 5:8
