Thank you very much. There's so much crap pinned right now I hoped someone would see it.

I was blown away by the accuracy of what he said would come to pass, then I started to remember when people thought rock and roll was going to drive people crazy

I've heard that many times, and it is so true today. We may be near the end of America as we know it. I guess he was talking about the whole world, and it works that way too. They have done everything just the way he said they would. He was a very smart man, way ahead of his time. 5*

Nice find. Just to let you know, this particular recording WAS NOT from 47 years ago. It was one of his last ones. He STARTED the "If I were..." series 47 years ago.

Nonetheless, even though it's relatively modern, it's still a powerful message.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1161315


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 yound intellects but neglect to discipline emotions . . . let those run wild. I would designate an athiest 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.

Well of course.

The rule to a vampire is that you have to invite it into your home.

Same applies to Satan and Evil in general.

Worst part is people paid ton's of hard earned money over the years to give their children a "better life"

But as we all know the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

If we look at Rome/Sodom/Babylon/Soviet Union

All society's have moral corruption before a great collapse.

Except this is going to be the biggest collapse ever, people are now hyper violent trained killers, amped up by "Fight club/Grand theft auto" and pissed off over the degeneration of women and lack of buying power due to years of inflation.

Satisfaction got a little further away.

But to give the Devil this much credit is far to flattering, God's just teaching as a lesson that can't be told but rather experienced.

Re: If I Were The Devil...AMAZING
1996 version from snopes:

If I were the prince of darkness, I would want to engulf the whole world in darkness.

I'd 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 -- thee.

So, I would set about however necessary to take over the United States.

I'd subvert the churches first, and 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 what thy wilt]


To the young, I would whisper that the Bible is a myth.
I would convince the children that man created God instead of the other way around.
I'd confide that what's bad is good and what's good is square.

And the old, I would teach to pray after me, "Our Father, which are in Washington ..."


Then, I'd get organized,
I'd educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting
so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting.


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


If I were the devil, I'd soon have families at war with themselves,
churches at war with themselves and nations at war with themselves until each,
in its turn, was consumed.

And with promises of higher ratings,
I'd have mesmerizing media fanning the flames.


If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to
refine young intellect but neglect to discipline emotions.

I'd tell teachers to let those students run wild.
And before you knew it, you'd have
drug-sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.

With a decade,
I'd have prisons overflowing and judges promoting pornography.
Soon, I would evict God from the courthouse and the schoolhouse and them from the houses of Congress.


In his own churches, I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science.
I'd lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls and church money.

If I were the devil,
I'd take from those who have and give to those who wanted
until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.


What'll you bet I couldn't get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich?

I'd convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun and that what you see on television is the way to be.


And thus, I could undress you in public and lure you into bed with diseases for which there are no cures.

In other words, if I were the devil, I'd just keep right on doing what he's doing.
