Just found this little gem in the "Quotes of the Week" archive at The Christian Arsenal web site.
The irony doesn't get much finer than that... Machiavelli knew this while so many of our modern "born-again" clerics can't figure it out...
"There is no surer sign of decay in a country than to see the rites of religion held in contempt."Ouch.
- Niccolo Machiavelli

"Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe."
- Jude 3-5
