I want to be ordained as a minister...

[Krazyskooter]

Anyone know where an atheist can be ordained to perform ceremonies and such? I think this may also have the side effect of really mind f***ing alot of my friends so, any information would be awesome thanks.

Awesome, I am now an ordained minister of whatever ................ I can feel the righteousness flowing through me. I am officially dripping with Holier than thou. Thank you sir.

Just curious: what exactly is the definition of an ordained minister?
How do they normally, traditionally, get ordained, if not online?

Also, is this one of those things where only an ordained minister can ordain a minister? Cause if so, you could have asked AronRa to ordain you.

Definitely Church of the Subgenius, but I don't think there's any contractual restrictions to not also being a reverend elsewhere.

You just ruined my Holy High, If I had known that the Norse God of Knowledge and Badassery could do that, I would have asked. Damn, I feel like the fat kid who went with the twinkie, because he didn't realize he could have the whole chocolate cake.

Technically, you could register your own religion too, and have endless satisfaction for your minister fetishes.

Hmm, perhaps I could turn my store into the Church of Material Wealth and be tax exempt.

 

[Andiferous]

I suspect you could were you "non-profit."

Totally non-profit, the income would go to helping the needy... Since I would technically have no reportable income from working the non-profit I could be seen as being below poverty level and that would classify me as being needy. It's totally legit! lol.

 

[Mithcoriel]

Don't even need to be needy.
You just say all your money actually belongs to God and not to you.

Norse God of Knowledge and Badassery

Hmm, liking that expression.

That would have been cool! If only you could "un-ordain" yourself to then be re-ordained by Aron.

This I can do, just get me a goat, a shamed priest, a bottle of febreeze, and a virgin...those are hard to find around here.

 

[Mithcoriel]

Why, can't you be ordained twice? (Double-ordained?)
I mean what if you were a minister in one church and then you go to a completely different one?

Aron should just mass-ordain us sometime for the heck of it.
