Then there is the "Universal Life Church" that will ordain you online for free. Credentials are available for a nominal fee. They will authorize you to perform weddings almost everywhere. I was thinking of having them name me a "Cardinal." Being addressed as "Your Eminence" has a nice ring to it.... The certificate costs about $35. Being named a "Pope" sounds a bit too pretentious.

Snorri,do the also sell the paraphenalia that goes with the title? The four cornered red hat for the cardinal, or do you have to go and get an AZ football cap to prove your esteemed place in the religious world?

I believe a Cardinal wears a red yarmulka... check it out, they have a "Monestary Store" that sells all sorts of "goodies." Here's a link:

Interesting as h3ll folks. Is religious faith personal or is it not?

Seems to me it wasn't but a few threads ago the righties were all up tightie (sic) and offended at the slightest criticism of their faith. Why? because they claimed - religious faith is personal.

And here we have those same righties claiming america is a christian nation and trying to impose their religion on the rest of us through the power of the state.

Kinda' takes it out of the "faith is personal" realm wouldn't you say?

Not to mention there's also the question of which one of the hundreds of "christian" denominations should dominate the state - Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Fundamentalist Christianity, Pietism, Evangelicalism, Pentecostalism, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian Church of the East, the Holiness movement and the list goes on and on...?

Pick an argument teabaggers, pick an argument eh.

"Yep, religion plays a huge place in the US"

Religion will also be the demise of the world!
