I've never heard of it being used at all as an end to discredit Christianity. Certainly not an argument I would expect an educated person to make, as this fell out of poplar usage several hundred years ago. I don't even think it was taken too seriously back then either.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
