#280 Become an Ordained Minister
Nate is always trying to get me to go to Chick-Fil-A. I won’t for two reasons. I don’t eat chicken and I don’t want to support a company that is against same-sex marriage. But then I hatched an idea for an awesome scary thing. I would stage a gay wedding at one of their restaurants and video tape it as a protest against the company. Of course, I would be the Minister performing the ceremony.
But if I were going to perform a wedding ceremony, I might as well make it real. I’d find a gay couple who would be willing to get married at a Chick-Fil-A. And I would become a real Ordained Minister so that it would be official. Well, as official as it could be in California which is pretty much not since Proposition 8 passed. But at least it would still mean something. Tonight I decided to take the first steps to make that happen.
I’d always heard you could easily become an Ordained Minister. I found out that back in the day, all you had to do was mail a form. With the the internet, all it takes is filling out an online application.
One of the oldest and most famous churches for this is the Universal Life Church. The wikipedia article on ULC is pretty interesting. Still, I wanted to find a cool church to be a minister of. After searching around on google, I couldn’t find a Zombie Church or Church of Warcraft, so I had to settle for the ULC.
So it really does only take filling out a form. In a few days, I’ll get confirmation I’m a minister. Now where are the little boys?? Ok, that was bad.
