Anesthesia Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I'll bet that's as legitimate as buying land on the moon. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anesthesia Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Lol, buying land on the moon is completely legal! No, actually it is... No, actually it isn't. The prohibition of national appropriation [of outer space and celestial bodies] ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ precludes the application of any national legislation on a territorial basis to validate a ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâprivate claimÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢. Hence, it is not sufficient for sellers of lunar deeds to point to national law, or the silence of national authorities, to justify their ostensible claims. The sellers of such deeds are unable to acquire legal title to their claims. Accordingly, the deeds they sell have no legal value or significance, and convey no recognized rights whatsoever. ... transactions regarding claims to property rights to the Moon and other celestial bodies or parts thereof, have no legal significance or recognised legal effect. This is a common hoax, much like buying a star (see our previously answered question on that). Some people believe that there is a loop-hole in the Space Treaty, which says that no country can lay claim to bodies in space, but does no ban individuals from doing so - legally though it is considered that no-one can lay claim to the Moon, therefore any certificate you buy which claims that you own part of the Moon is not legally binding and should only be considered a novelty item. "It's either a hollow claim or a fraud," said Frans Von Der Dunk, co-director of the International Institute for Air and Space Law at Leiden University in the Netherlands. The 1967 outer space treaty said space "was to remain just like the high seas, free for use by all," he said. The notion that some guy in California has printed up deeds to the moonand sold them to citizens will have no legal standing whatsoever. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

logic-is-overrated Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 ^^So, is this ordination website legit or is it just a pretty hoax?^^ I have a hard time believing it's this easy but at the same time, it's pretty cool if I can call myself a minister. This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack.

Hobgoblin11 Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 I think it's legit. If you want to do some research, feel free, and please post it here if you find anything out. I would start by Googling 'How to become a Minister', but I can't be bothered to do it myself! Afterall, it's not one ofmy duties, I can hand that kind of menial task down to my minions :P 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deloriagod Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 do u realize that ur making an entire mockery of the christian faith? Hmm.. Christians make themselves look horrible as it is. I've had far too many people try to convert me and to tell you the truth, when someone tries to get me to join a religion I end up not even considering joining. Btw gratz (i think..) and if I have time later I'll do some research into it. Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barihawk Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 What's funny is that most demonimations consider all of it's members to be ministers. It's not really a religious title. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigra00 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 how are you meant to buy land on the moon when no one owns it :? Noone owns land on this Earth, either, but we still sell it. But yea, you can't buy land on the moon. :Edit: Oh, and the local minister in my town has a wife and like, 7 kids. Pwned.

Barihawk Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I really hope you didn't pay the money they asked for Hobgoblin. Many churches in the Baptist and Methodist denominations refer to thier congregations as ministers, to go out and minister the Word to the world. By just attending a church, you become a minister. And no, you are not Clergy. At least not in any major Christian denomination. Most of these denominations require ordained ministers, which means at least 4 years at a Seminary. Without that degree, you would pretty much be a heretic to marry people or preach to them. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea, you can't buy land on the moon. :Edit: Oh, and the local minister in my town has a wife and like, 7 kids. Pwned. True, and just because you occupy a piece of land by force (i.e. army, in any given period of history), doesn't mean you "own" it. You just occupy it at the moment.. As for the ministry site, not sure if it's legitimate or not. But it certainly can't be a "scam" since nothing there costs anything, and they actually put up some prayers and other stuff, so they seem like good guys. No idea about the legality though..
