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.

AMAZING THIS WAS WRITTEN 48 YEARS AGO! paul harvey 1964

Hmmm,Interesting... ;)

If,if,if, for those who fear there lord god unseen and are protected and guided by him there is none in the heavens nor earth who can lead them astray, so keep dreaming and the devil himself can keep trying.


By Servant slave of god.

I simply wouldn't full filled the prophecies in the Book of Revelations ...therefore the second coming of Jesus Christ would never take place, everyone would be die and be stuck in the ground, no one would go to Heaven,

this is proof that the New Testament God (whoever that might be)gave all the power to Satan not Jesus

If I were the devil I would try to keep people fighting over whose religious beliefs were right and whose were wrong. That way the world would continue to be ruled by chaos.

If you were Satan, and you didn't do the things that are prophesied in the bible, that couldn't happen. Cause if you weren't going to do them, there would be no prophecy of it happening.

so God lied and I don't have "Free WIll"? wowwwwwwwwwwww

No, the two don't have one thing to do with one another. What are you talking about?

if the two has nothing to do with the other..then I have the "Free Will" not to fullfill the prophecies of Revelation

if you feel the prophecies of Revelation is about you, then yes you have entirely all power to not fulfill them.

But again, this isn't true. For again if you were going to "not fulfill" the prophecies, there would never have been a prophecy in the first place.

which is why as Satan, I would not fullfill Revelations.....therefore The Rapture wouldn't come, The Apocalypse wouldn't come, no Battle at Armageddon, also the World would never end

now do you see the good things Satan can do....unless of course you want these horrific events to take place?

please say yes

Aye, but if that was what was going to happen, that would be the original prophecy funches. A prophecy isn't something said, then done because it was said. It is foreknowledge of the future, of something that will happen.

if Satan use his "Free Will" and decide not to full fill the prophecy he would stop the apocalypse and becomes the Savior

if Satan use his "Free Will" and decide to full fill the prophecy,he gives up his own life to make it possible for people to enter Heaven and once again become the Savior

no matter how you try to spin it...Satan is in control and has power over everything even God and Jesus

Jesus do not know the time of Judgement day...but Satan does

that is what followers of Christianity do not realize..that the New Testament makes Satan God....they are actually followers of Satan

Jesus is stuck in Heaven and can't make a move until Satan gives him permission

What are you going on about? Jesus can do anything he pleases lol. And yes Satan could use his free will to either not fulfill or to fulfill. But you're still missing the entire point.

A prophecy isn't something said, then done because it was prophesied about.

A prophecy is foreknowledge of something(s) in the future that will take place, because God knows they already will.

Again, IF Satan chose not to do the things prophesied about, they would never have been prophesied about in the first place.

too bad Jesus can't "pleases" himself to know the time of Judgement Day,and that is why Jesus lack power

Satan can take a million years or perhaps take "the fifth of never" to carry out a prophecy ..and it's nothing that Jesus or God can do about it without taking away Satan's "Free Will" and making the apocalypse take place themselves
