The North needs a new tub-thumping Goliath to replace the aging Big Paisley. I nominate leading Orange Bible-basher Rev Stephen Dickinson from East Antrim.
In spite of being toppled from his triple posts of First Minister, DUP boss and Free Presbyterian Moderator, Paisley senior's dwindling flock of faithful followers still believe they can stage a spiritual coup within his beloved Free P Church. Some chance!
David Gordon's highly explosive new book, The Fall of the House of Paisley, has ensured a Second Coming by the Big Man of Protestant fundamentalism is impossible.
When Paisley founded the Free Church in 1951, he forgot to establish a system to groom a new Supreme Tub Thumper.
Rev Stevie fits such a bill – but he needs to get kicked out of the Orange Order first to become another Protestant political martyr.
As one of Ireland's most senior Orangemen, Rev Stevie has certainly rattled a few cages with his hardline Orange Reformation Movement. Rev Stevie is also a member of the mainstream Presbyterian Church in Ireland, not one of the tiny fundamentalist sects which litters the island.
Just as Paisley senior's profile only really took off when he became a jailbird, Rev Stevie will only assume the mantel of Chief Bible Basher when he gets 'worked over' by the Grand Lodge of Ireland, the Order's governing body.
Rev Stevie is also a leading light in the equally hardline Evangelical Protestant Society, one of a group of anti-Catholicism groups running 'No Pope Here' campaigns against a papal visit to the North.
Giving Rev Stevie the Order of the Boot from the Orange would also solve another crisis being faced by the fundamentalist Independent Orange Order.
Of all the groups in Protestantism's spiritual Hard Right, the Independents are the most influential.
If cancer had not killed their Grand Master Geordie Dawson in 2007, Big Paisley would still be First Minister today.
For decades, Big Paisley kept the Independents on the Protestant map by addressing their annual 12 July demonstration.
But with no Big Man on the platform this year, the Independents are in real danger of sliding into total insignificance.
The Independents would be a natural home – and very vocal power base – for Rev Stevie if the ever-aging Grand Lodge bounces him out of the main Order.
With Paisley as their political guru, the Independents were instrumental in mobilising the bucket load of smaller Protestant sects behind the DUP's anti-Belfast Agreement campaign.
History could repeat itself. If Rev Stevie was installed as a Head Buck Cat in the Independents, there's the real possibility he could equally mobilise fundamentalist Protestants behind ex-MEP Jim Allister's Traditional Unionist Voice.
And Rev Stevie already has a number of ace cards to play. His mainstream Presbie links ensure he has a direct channel right through the heart of the North's largest Protestant denomination.
His Orange Reformation Movement will not make the same tactical mistake as its forerunner, the equally militant Spirit of Drumcree movement of the late 1990s, then headed by Dungannon market gardener Joel Patton.
It lost considerable influence after the notoriously public Pomeroy Punch-Up in July 1998.
If Rev Stevie can help wee Jimmy Allister maintain his European showing, the TUV will end up holding the balance of power in the next Assembly with up to a dozen seats.
Expelling Rev Stevie will not get rid of a supposedly troublesome tub-thumper. Grand Lodge will merely create the New Paisley and signal a process of stalemate in a future Stormont.
