The Minimalist school holds that the Old Testament is a pile of shit written after the so-called return from exile by Persians. I chose the name to annoy one particular fundie asshole and have kept it ever since.

Also "I smell to a lovely slob".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

All right, cut and paste time:
Username: The "Rye" part came first. For a long time, J.D. Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye was my favorite novel, and whenever I would join a forum, I would usually add "intherye" to the end of the name. Admittedly, though, The Brothers Karamazov may have eclipsed this position in recent years (particularly in the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation, but that's another story.)
The "Rev." part comes from the fact that I was ordained into the Universal Life Church (ordination date 3/10/07). And, of course, I like the irony of writing anti-religious things while calling myself "Reverend."

I remember once buying a badge (or a button, if you prefer) that read "I like children but I can never eat a whole one". It was clearly part of that well-known secret atheist agenda to turn everyone into hellbound sin-worshipping blasphemers like what we are.
