Getting Hurt Being Gullible

Years ago, I recall a local conservative talk radio program that aired in a three hour slot just ahead of a three hour slot for a liberal talk radio program. On one occasion while I was tuned in to the conservative show, a rerun of the liberal program was also airing on a tv documentary. Some viewers watching tv thought the liberal program was also live on radio, so called the radio station to add their opinion to the liberal discussion. Of course, the conservative host, also a talented impersonator, received the calls and was quick-witted to take advantage. By mimicking the voice of the liberal host, he confused to total frustration the unsuspecting liberal callers by apparently confessing his recent conversion to conservative principles.

"For Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14). See also, Ephesians 6:11; 1 Peter 5:8.
