The Patriarch replies:
Mr. TwoBears:
Thank you for your application for ordination.
Given that your email address includes "wwjd" and given your closing salutation of "God Bless you," we find ourselves unable to proceed with your request for ordination..
I suggest that if you had asked yourself "WWJD" before you applied, you probably would have come to the conclusion that the Jesus you believe in would not have applied to be an Agnostic clergyman. I wonder why you did?
