There used to be some real battles over Masonry on FR, kind of like the recent name-calling over Mormonism. Personally, I could do without the vitriol. I’m not a Mason, but I don’t think they’re in league with the devil, either. Apparently, some “Christians” think anybody who isn’t a member of their particular sect is a tool of Satan.
Yeah, LOL, I have gone back and read some of those threads. I would hope that most of us are above "taking the bait" these days. In my Grand Jurisdiction, we are actually instructed to avoid arguments with others over matters concerning the craft. It is part of the instructions given at the First Degree.
Most of us have learned to recognize the difference between an honest question that is asked out of actual curiosity, and someone setting up for an argument... one side of which they know very little or nothing about.

You said this so well that it deserved repeating, which is why Freemasonry forbids the discussion of religious doctrine in the Lodge.
Now, someone mentioned eating, which reminds me that it is time for me to go enjoy my regular Saturday morning breakfast with my Brothers!
