2. Phil Stubbs became a reverend over the internet
(Only meaningful to people who watched the series finale of Ed last night.)

3. ANYONE can become an ordained minister on the Internet
If they want to. It's nothing unusual about it today. I heard on the radio today that you can enter to win a contest to go to Lake Tahoe to get COURTNEY LOVE of all people to marry you. Apparently she's ordained now. Isn't that fucked up!?

8. Just get ordained free at website, and download ordination pdf
Go to the ulc website, get ordained for free, download the free ordination papers pdf, print them out, do a wedding. Pretty simple, actually.

10. Pfagh. Sure, and it's taken me fricking 10 years
of schooling, interning, training and other.

But I've gotten those emails, too.

Actually, as far as the gov. is concerned, in terms of getting license to do weddings, there's very little requirement. The whole church/state separation thing means that solong as you can say you have a "religion", and that you are "ordained" in it, you can be licensed.

12. GOPHER IT!
The Right...NO...Left Reverend Matcom.
Church of the Universal Everything.
Marriages, funerals, bat/bar mitzvahs, exorcisms, confessions, annulments, adoptions, stonings and excommunications While-U-Wait.

I think you're ON to something here.

18. You laugh, but it's a guaranteed resident visa in EU and Canada
Edited on Sat Feb-07-04 10:39 PM by mouse7
You're pretty much guaranteed a resident visa into Canada or any EU country if you are applying as a member of the clergy.

If Dumbya gets reelected, and things continue to go downhill, it's a ticket out.
