Paul Harvey’s 1965 broadcast “If I Were the Devil” is often shared today because it feels disturbingly relevant. What once sounded like dramatic radio commentary now reads like a reflection of modern society—one shaped by shifting morals, fading faith, and distraction replacing discipline.

Whether viewed as spiritual insight or cultural critique, many believe his message resonates now because it speaks to a truth we’re still struggling to confront.
