> If I were the devil, I would gain control of the most powerful

> 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 is 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

> 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.
