I was ordained online by the Universal Life Church. I believe each to his or her own way. But what are your thoughts on such ordinations?

As a devout Methodist, I say congradulations. I do believe in respect for different religions myself. I wish you the best of luck and I hope become a great spiritual leader.

I am reading some info about ULC and apparently it "holds no views of its own". ULC says that you are free to choose whatever beliefs you want.

So it seems that you have been ordained with the right to think for yourself. Generally speaking, that seems like a good thing.

I suspect that when jaguars_fan congratulated you above, he was unaware that ULC holds no views of its own.

Can a ULC minister legally perform marriages?

Out of curiousity, what do you think he meant when he said the above?

Congratulations, DMagic. I'm not really sure about online ordanitions, but if the belief is 'it is fine to believe whatever you want'(That probably sounded rude. sorry) I guess it's fine. But with any other church, you get people such as Jesse James(of Monster Garage fame) becoming a minister. that is weird.
