You have to read this warning from a radio commentator by the name of Paul Harvey in 1965. You can listen to the audio and the reaction by Glenn Beck Here, but I've copied the text for you below.
The audio is of Paul Harvey
explaining how he would destroy us [America] if he were Satan…
“If I were the devil, I wouldn’t
be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree—Thee. So I’d set about
however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches
first—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”. And the old, I would teach
to pray. I would teach them to pray after me, ‘Our Father, which art in
Washington…’
And then I’d get organized. I’d
educate authors on how to lurid literature exciting, so that anything else
would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and
vice versa. I’d pedal 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 that war with themselves, churches that war that themselves, and
nations that war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with
promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flame. If I
were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, and
neglect to discipline emotions—just let those run wild, until before you knew
it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every
schoolhouse door.
Within a decade I’d have prisons
overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography—soon I could evict God from
the courthouse, and then the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress.
And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify
science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and
church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the
symbol of Christmas a bottle.
If I were the devil I’d take from those, and
who have, and give to those wanted until I had killed the incentive of the
ambitious. What do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the
way to get rich? I would question against extremes and hard work, and
Patriotism, and moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is
old-fashioned, that swinging more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way
to be. And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed
with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were to devil
I’d keep on doing on what he’s doing. Paul Harvey, good day.”
