Titles for atheists

    There's a guy writing in the Irish Times today telling us we have to put up or shut up about the Catholic Church controlling our schools. But, to add insult to injury the guy signs himself 'Most Rev Joe Soap' (I forgot his name).
    How about atheists adopting these honorifics? 'The Very Sensible Michael Nugent' has a ring to it. (You're welcome Michael.)
    If newspapers etc are prepared to call people His Most Worshipful Eminence and such like, why not apply other self-aggrandising titles to contributors?
    I remain,
    Yours in Reason and Science,
    the Most Rational Banbh O'Lunasa

    I like the idea, but I'm unsure of it's practicality. Those self-aggrandising honorifics tend to just scream 'BiasBiasbiasBias' at me.
    Still it might be better than using post-nominal letters (which I rarely see done). If only because the church gives themselves loads of them too.

    What's the difference between Most Reverend, etc? Does it make for quicker queuing times at the pearly gates?

    I think the clergy use it mainly to identify their ability for their underground Rap battles..

    Aaaah, yes...thank you kindly. For someone self proclaimed "oblique", I'm no good at other people's lateral thinking. Only mine. Which is always right btw :pac:
