I found this in my files .... you may have already seen it but it seems worth repeating.

If I Were the Devil By: Paul Harvey 
 
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 kill 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 with 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 call it art; 
 
I would convince the world that people are born homosexuals, and that their lifestyles should be accepted; 
 
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 I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, and  the Bible is for the naive; 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; Hmmm.. 
 
I guess if I were the devil, I'd leave things pretty much the way they are. 
 
Good day/Paul Harvey
