Paul Harvey’s Warning To America: If I Were The Devil….

On April 3rd, 1965 legendary radio host Paul Harvey issued a warning to America. In this warning, he detailed what he thought the devil should do if the devil wanted to keep destroying the United States. Sadly, the truth is that most of this stuff has come to pass. What Paul Harvey saw for America’s future back in 1965 if the devil had his way was eerily accurate. Please share this with as many people as you can….

******************************

If I were the Devil . . . I mean, if I were the Prince of Darkness, I would of course, want to engulf the whole earth in darkness. I would have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree, so I should set about however necessary to take over the United States.

I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “Do as you please.”

To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”.

In the ears of the young marrieds, I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be extreme in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct.

And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to say after me: “Our Father, which art in Washington” . . .

If I were the devil, I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull an uninteresting. I’d threaten T.V. with dirtier movies and vice versa.

And then, if I were the devil, I’d get organized. I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing and less work, because idle hands usually work for me.

I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. And I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.

If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects but neglect to discipline emotions . . . let those run wild. I would designate an atheist to front for me before the highest courts in the land and I would get preachers to say “she’s right.”

With flattery and promises of power, I could get the courts to rule what I construe as against God and in favor of pornography, and thus, I would evict God from the courthouse, and then from the school house, and then from the houses of Congress and then, in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and I would deify science because that way men would become smart enough to create super weapons, but not wise enough to control them.

If I were Satan, I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg and the symbol
of Christmas a bottle. If I were the devil, I would take from those
who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And then, my police state would force everybody back to work. Then, I could separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines, and objectors in slave camps.

In other words, if I were Satan,
I’d just keep on doing what he’s doing.

Paul Harvey, Good Day.

And in 65 we only "thought" things were bad...we have gone downhill much farther since then.

Sorry folks, but religion is fading, and I don't see a comeback.

I am getting by without him/her/it. Assholes trying to push their ideology on others goes both ways so I get why religious people were scared. But I think things go in cycles. I think conservatism will come back into popularity but I don't think it will be attached to a religion.

No doubt about it but the Lord said this would happen before His return. There is always going to be a remnant though. The Lord did not say there would be a big revival going on when He returned but there would be a great falling away. He said it would be a time like that of Noah. I think we are seeing that now.

I don't think that has much to do with Civil Liberties. But uhh. Sure.

Maybe Mr. Harvey took one too many bumps to the dome in his life:

Suffering a brain injury can make you more religious, scientists say: Study suggests damage to part of the prefrontal cortex makes people's beliefs stronger

Ever?! Really???

You sure about that?

"White people take shit for race related things now. Race relations are the worst they've ever been!"

If I was making up a religion to help control the unwashed masses, I'd say the same thing.

"Eventually people are going to realize we're full of shit, so we'll say we say that coming. That way we control those we have left even more by looking prophetic."

I do not put faith in religion - too much of man's sinful influence

rather put your faith in Jesus Christ!

look at the amazing numbers worldwide of converts from islam to Christianity!

sorry Woody its not fading

Westside Steve

Yes Woody you're correct. Race relations aren't worse than they've ever been but one might have expected improvement after the civil-rights act et cetera.
