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 that 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out of date, and the Bible is for the naive;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 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 already are!!!
