		<description>@Rev.Lee Sorry, I was mistaken. I had assumed you were a yet another atheist trying to use this story to poke fun at organized religions in general. Thats my mistake for making assumptions. :) 

For the record, I myself am a neutral atheist, seeing no point in attacking religions in specific or general. :)</description>

		<description>&quot;But the real irony is that most ministers are far more accepting than you.&quot;

I didn&#039;t refuse to accept anyone in my last post so I&#039;m not sure what you&#039;re talking about. I am a Minister and so is my father, by the way.

&quot;They at least are willing to accept atheists and scientists, &quot;

That&#039;s a blanket statement that is incredibly inaccurate. If ministers accepted, say, gays then where is the opposition to gay marriage coming from? Moreover, all I did was point out the reality that people have, and continue to, lose &quot;faith&quot; in organized religion and most of it is the fault of the people running the churches.</description>

		<description>@Rev.Lee I guess it all depends on one&#039;s different beliefs. But the real irony is that most ministers are far more accepting than you. ;)  They at least are willing to accept atheists and scientists, while atheists just can&#039;t seem to resist poking fun(whether it is deserved or not) of religions.</description>

		<description>I think real ministers make a mockery of ministers already, and they did so long before the internet.</description>

		<description>Sorry, would you be so kind as to include the link to the Spiritual Transhumanism ordination page, please? Googling for the phrases &quot;ordained minister&quot; and &quot;Spiritual transhumanism&quot; don&#039;t seem to provide relevant hits... except for your own blog post now. For some odd reason, that seems to be Google-ranked FIRST, now. :-)</description>
