I'm sure people have noticed how eerily similar to religion Bitcoin is becoming. The mythical founder, the email disciples, the followers. This message board as a proto-bible of texts, the wiki and the churches efforts to consolidate a one-true-book. The false prophet of Real Solid, the breakway protestants of Litecoin and the cults of BBQ, IO,IX..... the small monastery of Dev coin. Our prayers to Satoshi in the form of mining- doing Satoshis' work, The Charlaten of Pirate. And of course- the eternal blockchain. The collective memory of our entire universe.
So why doesn't someone just do it already- and register the Church of Satoshi? There is certainly enough philosophy here.

How does one become ordained?
I suppose the Bitcoin Foundation (from now on referred to as The Foundation) is analogous to the Catholic Church as it's the most codified edifice of Satoshi's will and undoubtably will end up the richest and most powerful. And considering Gavin is one of the original disciples, I guess he might be like Peter and once he's gone the next in line would be Pope. So you could join The Foundation I guess, they will give you some touch of Satoshi Divine. I donated to The Foundation at the outset, and thats a form a tithing.
If you're up for LTC It's probably Coblee who needs to ordain you. Although unless he too disappears without a trace his earthly presence will dilute his power as people can directly disagree with him unlike "Our Satoshi though art in Blockchain".
Dunno- I guess it depends what CryptoChurch you want to be apart of. You could always form another fork and be your own Pope and make your own rules, ala "RealSolid the false" but you risk your followers being 'sock puppets' for your heresy.
