Titles for atheists

Banbh

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

A Primal Nut

Yours,
The most plain ordinary Banbh

Could definitely work if there was a bit of humour involved.

Delirium

I think we could get lots of fun out of this one

Regards,
The Deified Koth :P

Dades

I think in future I'll write under the name

Prostetnic Vogon Dades.

Has a snappy ring to it.

Gbear

Really really good Gbear.

Doctor DooM

I dunno, I don't like it.

Yours sincerely,

Doctor Doom

The Mad Hatter

The Mad Hatter,
Carnifex and Psychopomp

Akrasia

I'd like to be known as
Daddy Akrasia ( or you can shorten it to Dy Akrasia for common usage)

I'll just use the title I have already...

"Your Lord and Master"

Penn

'Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Atheists of the North, General of the DNA-Helix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Bigus Bangius, and also a Doctor' Penn

Sycopat

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..

I will thank you all to refer to me by my full title when disagreeing with me in future

Just a slight change on 'Most Reverend':

The Most Revered Joseph Brand.

OR

His Level-Headedness?

Christians have given us another title already, 'Smart Arse' .

Banbh

Learned is a good word - the Learned J. Soap and it can be abbreviated to the Lnd J.Soap.
Usually I tick Dr or Prof or Other on forms but I might try Learned when I get the option.
I've noticed that in Ireland people don't bother much about these titles, in keeping with our republican Constitution, but the English are obsessed with them.

I usually pick the highest-status honorific that's available -- that's usually Dr or Professor, but I've been Lord, Judge and General too as the occasion permits.

This all worked fine until I had to submit some expenses to an Indonesian customer from a nearby hotel to whom I was Bishop Robindch. Never heard the end of it!
