I also do funerals and bar mitzvahs

Yes, everyone it is true. I am a certified ordained minister. I actually performed a wedding last week. Well, if performed means that I signed the marriage certificate, then I performed a wedding last week for our neighbors. Here is the church that I am a minister of: http://www.spiritualhumanism.org/

It is religion based on reason, which I see is perfect for the bloggers that use logic on a regular basis. Here is a little snippet from the website and why this religion is so great:

>>We can solve the problems of society using a religion based on reason.

We cannot abandon ancient traditions and practices but we can adapt them to our new understanding of the universe. Religion must be able to adapt to new knowledge about the universe without rejecting the deep spiritual connections to human history and the natural world that we are a part of.

All humans have an inalienable right and duty to practice their own religious traditions. Spiritual Humanism allows everyone to fuse their individual religious practices onto the foundation of scientific humanist inquiry. We accept people from any religious background and recognize the validity of all peaceful religious practices and behaviors as being helpful and necessary in developing the spiritual nature of humanity.<<

That sounds logical to me. Anyway, if anyone has a REASON to get married or get baptized or confirmed, give me a call and Minister Mike can be there in a flash!!!

Oh, and for those of you who have complained of my logic hiatus. If you used reason, you would know that I was too busy to post anything to the blog, but the logic will be back in force in the next few days as I explore stupid human tricks and dealing with the local municipality where logic is a four-letter word.
