If I were the devil....

I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world

I would delude their minds into thinking that they had come from man's effort,
instead of God's blessings;

I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people,
instead of the other way around;

I would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for their state revenue;

I would convince people that character is not an issue when it comes to leadership;

I would make it legal to take the life of unborn babies;

I would make it socially acceptable to take one's own life,
and invent machines to make it convenient;

I would cheapen human life as much as possible
so that the life of animals are valued more than human beings;

I would take God out of the schools,
where even the mention of His name was grounds for a lawsuit;

I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and target the young,
and I would get sports heroes to advertise them;

I would get control of the media, so that every night
I could pollute the mind of every family member for my agenda;

I would attack the family, the backbone of any nation.

I would make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable.

If the family crumbles, so does the nation;

I would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies
on canvas and movie screens, and I would call it art;

I would convince the world that people are born ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs,
and that their lifestyles should be accepted and marveled;
I would convince the people that right and wrong
are determined by a few who call themselves authorities
and refer to their agenda as politically correct;

I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date,
and the Bible is for the naive;

I would dull the minds of religious folks, and
make them believe that prayer is not important, and
that faithfulness and obedience are optional;

I guess I would leave things pretty much the way they are.

If I were the Devil, I'd be rubbing my hands with glee and excitement at a possible split within the SSPX, and I'd be laughing at Trads on discussion boards where they are at loggerheads with one another.  It all helps, and I've hardly had to lift a talon...

I had to look up the word "loggerheads". Yes I agree with you on that one. The arguments just keep going in circles for years on end. What's been argued here has been argued a thousand times in other forums for decades. That's why I don't even go back to a thread after I've replied twice in favor of my position because I don't want to get caught up in this never ending back and forth battle. It's like playing tic-tac-toe.
