If I Were the Devil….. by Paul Harvey

This is a video based on a show from Paul Harvey first aired in 1965. Below are some bullet points. He  predicted all this in 1965

  • To the young, I would whisper that ‘The Bible is a myth
  • I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies
  • I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could
  • I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.
  • I’d soon have families at war with themselves
  • you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.
  • I’d have prisons overflowing,
  • I’d have judges promoting pornography
  • soon I could evict God from the courthouse
  • then from the schoolhouse
  • and then from the houses of Congress
  • I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls
  • If I were the devil I’d take from those who have, and give to those who want until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.
  • I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich
  • I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is good
  • what you see on the TV is the way to be
  • I could undress you in public
  • I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure

Paul Harvey, good day.
