The Internet is an amazing thing.
In a mere 1 minute and 11 seconds I became fully ordained as a minister in the Universal Life Church. In case you're wondering, yes, it is completely legit. In the eyes of the law I am now fully ordained, which means, yes, I can conduct religious council, give sermons, and marry people, among other things.
And all it took was a submission of my email address. No sweat at all. After all, I've given it out to far less-reputable firms and organizations over the years.
But despite the relative ease with which I obtained this status as a minister, I can assure you that I am not taking my position lightly. I am, after all, going for a Bachelor's degree in Religious Studies in one of the foremost religious studies departments on the planet. I consider myself a spiritual person and I enjoy being that friend for people; the advisor, the confidant, the healer.
And I really dig the message of the Universal Life Church; basically, regardless of creed, origin, ethnicity, preference, etc., we are all "Children of the Universe", and with that in consideration with all have the potential to aim for spiritual perfection and we all have the obligation to show each other respect as brothers and sisters of the universe.
The ULC even offers online courses (for free) on spiritual counseling and ministry, among other topics. It's an excellent resource for spiritual betterment, and they have a great message.
Check them out! And feel free to jon me in my ministry: http://www.themonastery.org/
Also, if anyone wants me to marry them, I will do it for free. And I promise you I will give a great sermon.
