Flatsouler
A typical modern man who thinks that all which exists is accessible to the senses and the proceedings of his mind. The depth of his soul is as shallow as a rain puddle and also as murky. He exists only for the purpose of acquiring wealth and power while being mortally afraid of all deeper meaning of any spiritual kind. His preferred habitat is a university campus or some other angst driven place where he hopes to find followers who share his sad and empty ideology. He doesn't have to be a cynic necessarily but it certainly helps to quiet his nagging self-doubt.
That theology professor is a typical flatsouler who can't stand the idea of anything larger than himself, so his only purpose in life is not to die because his ego knows it will dissolve the very moment his body starts to decompose. I hardly met an academic who wasn't a VIP member of the flatsouler club.
