"The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a black god... Lucifer, the Light Bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light...Doubt it not!"
No Christian can be a Freemason.
"Rules for Radicals" begins with an unusual tribute: "From all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer."

Albert Pike was not the be all end all of Masonry. That’s just one man’s opinion.
It must be wonderful to be such a narrow-minded, ignorant bigot!
I guess My Lord Jesus Christ will be casting me into the pit for being a Mason, lo these many years!
And by the way, the "Lucifer" you referred to is not Satan, you ignorant jerk, it is the "Light Giver" of ancient reference. It is an aligory, but then, narrow-minded, ignorant jerks tend to take things at face value.
I see that you have quoted Albert Pike. What you may not appreciate is that Albert Pike was speaking for himself — as all Freemasons do. So when he wrote:
> “The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a black god... Lucifer, the Light Bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light...Doubt it not!”
he was giving his own opinion and not speaking on behalf of anybody else. He certainly doesn’t speak on my behalf: I think his viewpoint are, for the most part, loopy.
> No Christian can be a Freemason.
I’m a Christian and a Freemason. How do you reconcile that dichotomy?
Did you mean "Morals and Dogma?"
