I have been an ordained minister since 2009, but I FINALLY just got my credentials. So now I have the credentials to prove that I praise Shiva/Rudra (via Inhaled Incense Prayer) and have been since I lived in Texas (I didn't leave Texas until 2010), as well as research tons of ancient traditions: Eastern, Western & Aboriginal.

I can Legally:
Work as a Chaplin
Exorcise Demons
Marry Couples
Hold Funeral Ceremonies
& Baptize Babies

and now that Hobby Lobby ruling exists I may be able to do some things that I couldn't before if I make a closely held company.

Congratulation, sir. I am also a minister through Universal Life Ministries It is awesome to be able to wear the collar and get to checkout crime scenes with my ministers pass.

Messiah.
I am more interested in teaching people and starting some community organizing. I am definitely ready to try to do some stories and stuff though, not yet, and probably not crime scenes though.

You need only read, not write, correct? Or is that how you intend to "flock them in"; through clever twisting of the language with purposeful error?
I can't wait to see your church emblem. Are you going to have an effigy in your likeness on the cross? Personally, I think that would be appropriate.
And you should have a blank one, too, with a stand and handles, so Nevaeh can jump on it and take it for a spin when he drops by to administer a sermon or 15 on Aliens with special guest Frater GooseDrivel.

Now that I have my ministry stuff, the research I did for Religious Marijuana in Texas is more viable. So if anyone smokes weed religiously, this is not legal advice, but here is some research I did.

https://www.rollitup.org/t/police-break-the-law-marijuana-in-texas.600189/
United States v. Ballard (1944)
Justice William O. Douglas stated:"They may not be put to the proof of their religious doctrines or beliefs."
Meaning, I shouldn't have to prove a damn thing. But I will anyways.

Lemon v. Kurtzman, 91 S. Ct. 2105 (1971)
The rulings made here were violated. The police had no warrant, and therefore no secular purpose. And have entangled themselves in my religion since I was a child at 14 years old.
1) the government action must have a secular purpose;
2) its primary purpose must not be to inhibit or to advance religion;
3) there must be no excessive entanglement between government and religion.


McDaniel v. Paty (1978 )
They are taking away my fundamental rights.
Life: They wish to take my time
Liberty: They wish to infringe on my religious freedoms, and put me in a cage for loving a flower
The Pursuit of Happiness: Any effort I make with my religion is squashed by authority. And in effect, squashing me.

Church of Lukumi Babalu Ave., Inc. v. Hialeah, 113 S. Ct. 2217 (1993)
They ruled that the religious sacrifice of animals, is no different than hunting. And it is unconstitutional to consider the two different.
If that is true. Why is tobacco, alcohol, nutmeg, tea, coffee, energy drinks and even corn, and wheat (it has food and industrial uses) allowed to be grown and used legally while marijuana is not. This is unconstitutional.

ESA v. Rylander (2001)
We do not even have to define a supreme being, I do connect Shiva when smoking. But that doesn't have to be specified, or important.

And this, from 2005:
Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code CHAPTER 110. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
I refuse to participate in the drug war my state is involved in, but they force me to. And I refuse to have not only my religion but my life substantially burdened by law enforcement, probation, and everyone else.

A lot of my thread titles get changed. I have been here (at Rollitup) for almost as long as I have been a minister (5 years a minister, and almost 4 years on RIU), I have seen MANY of my thread titles be changed, just for humors sake. I have even known trolls that became moderators, and moderators that trolled me so hard they are no longer moderators (Uncle Buck is a prime example).

I knew he was shifty, but that's downright diabolical!

I knew it was them...my vacuum cleaner box told me so.
