Three letters academically inclined folks long to insert after their names, as they are set to spend tens of thousands of dollars and slog through thousands of man-hours to earn it—they couldn’t care less whether their dissertations have near-zero value or impact on the outside world or not.
In an age when you can virtually order your fake PhD of any prestigious university for a few hundred bucks in a matter of days, who says that a doctorate degree is meant only for geeks or nerds?

Short for “Preaching, Healing, and Delivering.” The title that has spiritually been conferred on every believer of Jesus Christ, who has been commanded to share to pre-believers or unbelievers the Good News of the Lord’s gift of eternal life and His forgiveness of sins, and who has been empowered in the name of Jesus to free people from difficulties, diseases, and demons.
All born-again Christians are conferred a PhD to be fishers of men—to win souls for the Kingdom of God, so that they could end up on the right side of eternity after their last breath.
