I read an interview on that thread link that was posted and had to laugh when I saw a printout of a universal life church ministry certification.
FFS, you can get that shit by filling in an online form and self printing your automatically generated PDF 
Haha I was "ordained as a mi sister" from that church back my senior yr of h.s. in 2000 when I was 18. Did it so I could use it for tax purposes in the future. Completely forgot about it until I'm about 2002 when close friends of my ex and I we're married in San Jose and his brother did the ceremony as a "minister" of the same church.
When I thiink about it, ALL churches are "made up" and you can "ordain" anybody you want. Absoltely no different from a personal training certification. Anybody can make it up and certify people.
