I've just become an ordained minister. ask me anything.
Edited on Wed Feb-16-05 12:28 AM by seg4527
I found a church website online that will do it for free.

So as of 3 minutes ago, I have all rights and priveleges to perform all duties of ministry.

So call me reverend Steve.

edit: spelled reverend wrong. proving that i should not be a reverend. by i am anyway!

4. yes
god created all of mankind, and we are all sinners. there is no reason that i as a sinner can not marry my girlfriend who is a sinner also, and there is no reason that two sinners whose sin happen to be homosexuality can not love andmarry each other. god is forgiving, and created homosexuals, and there is no reason that his creations can not be able to share their love.

anything else?

5. Let me guess:
Our three tenets:
Freedom
Food
Sexuality

I became a minister during the first GW so I could go in as chaplain if drafted.

8. So, is it the same "church?"
I don't remember the name of the group, but it was some guy running the thing out of his garage. I sent in five bucks and got a card declaring my ministership and some info about the church.

There was no doctrine, just the three tenets above.
