Is that sort of thing legit, don't ask.

Brian: I'm not actually interested in doing it. I agree with you, but I just wanted to see if the rumors were true.

You can become an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church over the internet, yes.
I know a guy who did that, and he is now licensed to marry two of my coworkers.

Yes. I've had friends who did it, and yes, it's legal (but only if you get it activated at your local courthouse. Look up the Universal Life Church and the Church of Spiritual Humanism. They'll ordain you over the net. Then you take your ordination credentials to the local courthouse, pay the fee, and you're legal. A friend of mine who got ordained online just legally performed a wedding this way.

You can, and I have done so. Check out the Universal Life Church, in Modesto, California. Ordination is free; the site sells kits of information as to how to do weddings and other functions for a modest price.

Yes it is true. Funny thing is, whoever gets ordained via the 'net is just as qualified to discuss the supernatural as anyone who has "studied" it for years.

Yes, it is true. Yes, it is legit. You can even marry people.
Of course, I live in CA, and any adult over the age of 18 who isn't a felon can marry people too. And I think the felon thing can be got around.

Yes and it is legal--freedom of religion.
It's a way to become ordained if you belong to no denomination. It may not be Religious--but legal for marriage ceremony

Yeah, there are places where you can go to an online class and get ordination papers; however, they are usually interfaith or they are supported by just a school that thinks all religions are equal paths. Many Christian churches do not accept them as a valid ordination.

you could, in the process the huge-unfold existence Church. this is going to empower you to accomplish weddings, preside at funerals, and so on, for human beings of nondenominational faith or for atheists. you're able to _not_ be qualified to accomplish a Catholic, Wiccan, Jewish, and so on. ritual, as those religions do have prescribed practices for turning out to be to be ordained clergy.

The person is not ordained in God's eyes. In fact to call your self an ordained preacher when you are not, is sin.
