So I'm an ordained minister now in the Universal Life Church. It's simple church with only two tenets: to promote freedom of religion, and to do what is right. Of course they append: "It is the responsibility o fht e individual to determine what is right as longs as it does not infringe on the rights of others and is with in the law". Sounds good to me. So what perks do I get? Well:

As a minister with the ULC, its own denomination, you are granted the following rights:


• To perform marriages within your state, following the rules laid out by the state in which
   you wish to perform said marriage.

• To perform funerals, baptisms, last rites or any other sort of legal ceremony or ritual you
   wish to perform, except circumcision.

• To start a church of your own, be it a bricks and mortar building or on the internet.

• To absolve others of their sins as you have been absolved of yours.



So if you know anyone that wants to get married... Oh, so you all have to call me Reverend Kozloff now. I have my certificate up in my office (next to my new partner Frank's). Do you want to be ordained? I can do that too, or you can go do it yourself at: www.ulc.org
