"you can think that a non-atheistic democracy exists -- and non-atheistic means non-Masonic -- but to my way of seeing things and to my way of thinking atheism is an accomplishment of democracy."

Above and beyond every other reason, this is why I am a monarchist.

[Salvation]

Is there someone who would like to do the Knights of Columbus ping? I believe a Protestant now has the list and it would be great to have a CAtholic guy have it.

[onedoug]

Yeah, the Masons near me are real threatening alright. Most of them are 75 years +, driving increasingly broken down cars and their “temple” is literally falling apart. I’m intimidated.

[TBP]

If this guy really believes that Masons are atheists, then I don’t think he understands them at all.

And no, they’re not a conspiracy. Who is this guy? LaRouche?

[VeritatisSplendor]

Both my grandfathers were Masons. One was agnostic, career army, military intelligence - and probably was a Mason just because he relished mischief and secrecy - can’t see him as power-hungry or a member of a cabal.

The other was a serious lifelong Baptist - can’t get to heaven unless you’ve been saved by accepting Jesus Christ, and he’d tell the free-thinking members of the family that. He was probably a Mason because he liked a night out with the boys that he was sworn never to tell my grandmother about. At his funeral, the minister gave the service in church and the Masons did the graveside rituals - Baptist Masons.

So whatever Masonic conspiracies and philosophies there are, there are a lot of men who are just doing it for fun.

use the right "method." The Greek word "odos" means "way," and "met" means the "goal"

This seems to be the consensus. Not that there is a right method, but that the word is from the Greek.

i will goto my Lord with a clear conscious... and i leave it up to HIM, whether he wants me or not.
