Atheists ordained online?

Actually, there are a lot of ordained atheists. The woman who created this site a href="http://www.evilbible.com/" rel="nofollow"http://www.evilbible.com//a is an ordained atheist. When I finish my clergy training, I will be legally ordained which will, to the best of my knowledge, make me the only legally ordained Heathen in my state (and my county back in my home country). The women who run the metaphysical shop down in Citrus Heights are legally ordained and hold handfastings in their shop from time to time and rather than it merely being ceremonial, they sign the proper papers and it is a legal marriage. So there are advantages to being legally ordained, especially if your faith community (or lack of faith community - whatever) is not being adequately served in your area. For we Heathenfolk, the Pagans, Wiccans and other "others", it is very important that we not feel forced to pay a Christian to perform certain services for us or visit a Justice of the Peace, so ordination for some of us in those communities is not only a benefit to ourselves, but our entire community. It just makes sense.
