I haven't seen the movie yet but I take exception to the negative things you said about the masons. I can see for sure that you were right in saying you knew a little about them(DAMN LITTLE) No man can become a mason without a belief in a supreme being thats why there are JEWS, HINDU'S, CHRISTIANS ,BUDDIST'S, MUSLIMS, ETC. Look at the pictures of the signing of the Declaration of Indpendance then look up the background of them, most were MASON'S look at the list of presidents of the United States and tell me how many were and are Mason's. I've been a proud mason for nearly 50 years and you should look up the worlds greatest philanthropy, The Shiners Hospitals for Children. It's people like you who know little and think they know everything about an organization. Read Born in
Blood if you want to learn something.

snowman, My father is a 32nd degree mason, and I love him very much. I understand why you took exception with what I said, but I can assure you that this was not the intention of my post. False teachings can be found in just about any organization you can think of including some of the best churches America has to offer. My statement was not directed at masons, but rather the organization itself, based on many of it's basic doctrinal statements... universalism being one of them as demonstrated in your rebuke.
I'm not anti-mason... I'm pro-christian
Thank you for the reference to "Born in Blood"... I will read it. Feel free to freepmail me if you wish to continue this discussion.

Thanks

Outstanding book, written by a non-Mason. A lot of history I didn't know about, including the demise of the Knights Templar and the Peasant Rebellion a century later. Fascinating stuff, whether you accept the conclusions or not.
