So yeah you can get ordained into this church just by e-mailing them your name. After getting accepted you can legally marry people and start your own church.

Its like Furcadia for puritans!
that's nothing. you're already a Discordian Pope.
Looking into this to see if it's legit. If so I'm starting my own damned religion!
Asshatism here I come.

It seems pretty legit. I heard they won a case in the supreme court so their clergy can enjoy the same legal status as the other religions.

Damn, now I'm hearing your posts in the voice of that guy in your avatar, but I don't know what he sounds like so it's just like some hick is reading your posts out loud.
I'm not sure if it was Absinthe or Gir who gave me this username.

Absinthe, I posted the picture first though.
Man I haven't seen dumb and dumber in forever. Maybe since elementary school.
Quote from: Sea Bass;1719182Man I haven't seen dumb and dumber in forever. Maybe since elementary school.
Wait, that guy's from Dumb and Dumber? I forgot most of it. I think I only saw it once. The only part I can remember is when they get to Aspen and start spending all the money and go to the charity thing in Willy Wonka suits.
EDIT: Ok, I just looked up the Sea Bass scene on youtube. Now I'm reading your posts in his actual voice.
EDIT EDIT: In regards to the OP, IIRC Hunter S. Thompson was a minister of that church.
I just registered, and now I officially declare myself the pope of Absurdism. Come one, come all, get your pants before they fall. Teeth are falling out? Tough shit! Want to make sure after you kick the bucket your teeth will never fall out again? Talk to me and not the 300 pound gorilla in the room! I do weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, and I even put the fun back in funeral! Just come talk to me in two business days.
I should do this. I like the idea of being able to put Rev. in front of my name. It worked out pretty well for Roger.
Mine is coming is 2 business days.
Everything and everyone will be married and nobody can stop me
I'm marrying Pat Robertson and Marilyn Manson without their permission.
I am officially a minister now. I plan wearing a pope hat 24/7, with upside down crosses, stars of david, and swastikas plastered all over it. As my first decree as Pope of Southern Baptist Satanism, I hereby declare Pat Robertson and Marilyn Manson married until death. Amen.
Oh and PS, I posthumously baptize Jesus, Buddha, and the original Shamu into my church.
I am now a member of the Absurdist Church, As I am ordained as well i shall open up local chapters in the south. Now i have to wait on Reverend Absinthe to write the holy text.

That's the point.

every man woman and child on earth is a Discordian Pope, with all the rights in Discordianism as the Catholic Papacy.
on that note, I'm excommunicating you.

Yay! Corpsie gets to go to space!
I hereby marry Slurpee and Corpsegrinder.
They have a PO box in Folsom, CA but it says their Church is in Medesto.
I was just Ordained.
I am one of the few atheist reverends in the world
I guess
i should totally be a reverend
I got ordained in like, 2 hours. I think I'm going to perform gay marriages exclusively.
Edit: Apparently it really is legit...
Quote from: RomanClock;1719281I hope you guys didn't put in actual information.
I mean, this IS the internet.
Also, I don't think this allows you to legally marry people.
According to Wikipedia,
yes it does.
Quote from: Aidrocsid;1719278I got ordained in like, 2 hours. I think I'm going to perform gay marriages exclusively.
I'm gonna one-up you and exclusively perform transsexual marriages. Who knows if it's gay?
can i legally use the rev. title on my name after this?
EDIT ughh do i have to buy one of these bullshit packages to get any kind of certification
A physical certificate costs money
i kind of want to buy one :wiebel:
I might get the $15 kit thing just for the hell of it.
I'm very tempted to get a physical certificate, I guess this is how they get ya.
i am a pastafarian reverend
Quote from: RibsClock;1719323I invoke my papal infallibility to declare that I am neither a pope nor infallible.
That's the spirit!
So the idea is, you get this certification for free? And you can buy a certificate (regardless of country of origin?) if you choose to for extra effect?
That is pretty swell if it is true, can someone please tell me it is true?

Nah there are tons of ethiest chaplancies and chaplains all over the states.

you should convince two of your friends from each gender to pretend theyre getting married when drunk and then tell them theyre actually married because youre an ordained minister
Quote from: Liser;1719348you should convince two of your friends from each gender to pretend theyre getting married when drunk and then tell them theyre actually married because youre an ordained minister
oh im so going to do this
what if i'm like "well if you love it so much why don't you marry it" and they're like "alright i will"
can i be like "well now you are because i'm an ordained minister"
If they actually send me a certificate all the way across the globe
I'll probably take this further and make my own Religion/Cult.
And it'll be legal and official and the like.
Yeah I was under the impression you could start you're own religion if you felt like it. The problem is tricking people into following.
We should all make religions almost exactly the same except for one or two incredibly minor differences and start wars with each other over them
For instance I believe our lord and saviour the Almight Space Octopotamus is unimaginabley big whereas my friends religion thinks he is unthinkabley big. Blood will be shed.
Quote from: Sea Bass;1719317I'm very tempted to get a physical certificate, I guess this is how they get ya.
The ULC site claims you don't need one, but it can help if you actually want to marry somebody. You do have to check your local laws though.
Quote from: RibsClock;1719423Minor? What do you mean? They worship a completely different omnipotent omniscient eternal Creator of all things!
All space octopus religions share the same core values!

How dare you insult my faith of RedundantDichotomism by comparing it to that of NeedlessDisunionism. I declare war.

RedundantDichotomism stole its beliefs from ancient Egyptian Redundomachismo religions.
When I get ordained can I use my powers for evil? Or is it part of the contract to only use it for good?
Quote from: Magyar;1719456When I get ordained can I use my powers for evil? Or is it part of the contract to only use it for good?
Being good has never been a qualification for ministry before, I don't know why it should be now.
EDIT: I also like the online confession feature.

Quote from: Magyar;1719456When I get ordained can I use my powers for evil? Or is it part of the contract to only use it for good?
The only condition to ordination is to do what you think is right. If you think evil is right, then you're in the clear.
This is pretty epic. Like.. straight up.
I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna start Neighborhoudinism!
Quote from: clammo;1719386does this seem completely backwards to anyone else??
you basically need permission of one religion to start another? kinda like having to ask google if you can start your own search engine
It's kind of like needing other countries to recognize you as a sovereign nation in order to be a country.
Quote from: Pope AbsintheClock;1719475It's kind of like needing other countries to recognize you as a sovereign nation in order to be a country.
:this:
Besides, the ULC isn't
exactly a religion per se.
Even if you get this ordination, you still have to file with the state to make it legal.
It's due tomorrow but it I'm going on holiday.
If this thread dies by the time i get back and it arrives I'll be ready to convert you all to my religion
homosexuality, now it's a religion
