scram 1 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 That's right.As of 2 weeks ago, I'm officially ordained in the Universal Life Church."What is the Universal Life Church," you ask?Why, it's a Church where anyone can be ordained as a lawful and bona fide minister, simply by asking!"But, but, but, no one could POSSIBLY take such an ordination seriously," you say! "Why, if all that's required is requesting ordination via the internet, how can that possibly be valid?"Thank the Federal laws of the USA and the laws of most states, because brother, it is.Yes, Virginia, you too can perform marriages and officiate at funerals in more states than not by simply requesting your TOTALLY FREE ordination via the Universal Life Church. "FREE? BUT, NOTHING'S FREE!"Seriously- it is. Become a minister here. http://www.ulc.net/index.php?page=ordainThey make their money selling little credential cards, "ministry packages" and certificates that you can choose to buy or not, but for legal purposes, you're recorded in their books as a minister and can act as such, in full good faith in the lions share of US states.

king_tanner 84 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 LOL I signed up for this s_hit in high school... I have my certificate framed. Link to post Share on other sites
El Guapo 10 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I am not very religious and my wife and I had my friend who is somewhat religious perform our wedding ceremony since we did not have a minister or preacher to use and we wanted something personal. He went onto their site and felt uncomfortable so he decided against going that route, and instead became deputized for the day. He felt becoming ordained in that fashion was sacrelgious to his beliefs. Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings7 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I don't think it seems sacreligeous as long as you are doing it for the right reasons, but yeah it does seem shady nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites
