The only people who peddle that tripe anymore are motivated batshit fundies selling a product that they know their low info audience won't be familiar with. It's a novelty marketing program, not an intellectual appeal. We have idioms meant to describe theological failure that are actually derived explicitly -from- scholastic theology.
