  1. We Have That Here by TheSpoom · · Score: 1 · on Jedi May Be Allowed To Perform Marriage Ceremonies In Scotland

    The Universal Life Church allows anyone to become "ordained" via the internet in many US States (and probably elsewhere as well). This allows them to marry people. Perhaps Scotland had more stringent requirements of their church leaders in this regard previously?

  2. Careers in the US by JWSmythe · · Score: 0 · on Ask Slashdot: Best Degree For a Late Career Boost?

        If you're in the US, you've probably noticed the news that we're rapidly becoming a theocracy. A degree from the Universal Life Church is probably your fastest and cheapest route. :)

        But the serious answer is, we don't know. None of us really know what market segment is going to do particularly well. We're still pretty well down in the recession to make any sort of guesses on what line of work to switch to. If we found out that ditch digging was the new golden field, I'd be out practicing my shovel techniques right now.

        As I've noticed over the years, it doesn't really matter to many corps *what* your degree is in, as long as you have one. For example, my sister was an English lit major. She's been doing accounting for several years. Along the way, she's picked up job specific certs.

        You may be better off getting some respected certs in roles that you are interested in. If you do networking, a couple good Cisco certs are always impressive. You'd just need to find out what the respective certs in the field you chose are, and go for them.

    That's probably because he bought his "religious Ph.D." for $100

    Maybe she got the Doctor of the Universe degree that ULC offers. Only $29, too rich for my blood though.

    Well, you can already receive absolution for your sins online, so I'm not sure I'll be needing any indulgences. But thanks for asking.

  7. Re:I've been thinking... by TallDarkMan · · Score: 1 · on Report Warns Against Well-Meaning Net Censorship
    Just wanted to let you know you've got a very good point... one I've been making to people answering the question: "Do you need to believe in (a) god to have morals?" In trying to understand the ones who answered "yes", I've come to the same conclusion as you: humans think they need an authority figure to be good; they just can't do it themselves.
    I think if people were to understand the concept of "if you feel good [when you do something], fine;' if you feel bad, then don't do that", and then live by that notion, we wouldn't need the 'authority figure' (be that "God", government, or "nannycrats" as another poster put it), and we might just be able to salvage this human race.

    Anyways, just thought I'd mention it. I think that the ideal world is achieved by not worrying so much about trying to make the ideal world, and just doing your best and enjoying life and letting others do the same. Glad you did... I agree and hope too... - MRC
