The statue was actually commissioned by the Satanic Temple in New York, not the Church of Satan.....two different religious groups.

They seem to be secular humanists. You should join.

In a sense, they are. For the most part, the Satanists don't actually worship Satan. They're usually atheist/humanist. They just use their "Church of Satan" label to be d*cks.

I am now ordained by The Church of Spiritual Humanism, Open Ministry, and American Marriage Ministries. I would have signed up for more, but they either required an order of one of their packages up front or membership fees to stay ordained. I think I'll only order credentials from the ULC. Don't sign up for ULC Headquarters in Boca Raton, FL. They apparently require membership fees and aren't affiliated with the ULC in Modesto. They do claim that their ordination is accepted in all 50 states and Canada because they make contact with you by telephone. They are also Christian instead of interfaith like the ULC in Modesto.

I think I'm ordained by the ULC Monastery in Seattle. It split off from the original one in California.

Congrats, Reverend Sanantone.....what do you plan to do with your newly minted ordination(s)?

I don't know. I just like collecting free stuff. I was about to take the Kaplan PLA and NFA courses just because they're free, but I just don't have time. Becoming ordained is much quicker. Unfortunately, these online ordinations aren't accepted for chaplain certification. I would also need a master of divinity from an accredited college, so that means a free degree from Nations University is out of the question. I need to find something dirt cheap and self-paced.

(1) Nations degrees aren't exactly free any more - no tuition as such, but as of 2014 US students will pay $480 a year in "technology fees" IIRC.
(2) Still an applicant for DETC accreditation.

I don't mind the technology fees. I looked at SATS, but it's still too costly. Becoming a chaplain is really not a priority of mine anyway. Once I finish my PhD, I will start the process of becoming licensed chemical dependency counselor.

I just did this (for fun) and I think I will throw in one of the doctorates for good measure!
