What about endorsing notions like "Endorsing notions like 'global warming is a better test of irrationality than theism' is a better test of irrationality than theism"?

I think it's a sign of rationality, at least in context. Angels would likely consider it insufficiently meta, but man's intellect is bounded.

That is a decidedly ambitious use of the phrase "of course."

Heh, fair enough, I guess I don't actually have that good a model of angels. I'll replace "of course" with "likely".
