To be ordained in the Baptist church carries with it a lot more theological meaning than what goes with responding to mail order ads for ordination. To wit, it has traditionally meant that the person was a professing Christian, someone who had accepted Christ as his Savior, and adhered to the basic doctrines of the Christian faith.
The reason I find it appalling to learn that Moyers has been ordained by the Baptists is that he deviated so far from the tenets of the faith. I don't even consider Jesse Jackson as bad an example as Moyers is on that count.
I don't disagree with you, but my point was more "lots of people call themselves things they are not."
"Grandma calls herself a teapot," so to speak.
