Notice that he never got fired or not hired because of something that was "his" fault. It was always those danged, dirty-dealing Masons! <BR/>Since when did the fundies get the right to pass judgement on people anyway?<BR/><BR/>F.

Many of the best Christians I know are Masons.<BR/><BR/>I myself am both a Master Mason and a Pastor of a Baptist Church. There is no conflict between Christianity and Freemasonry unless you are right wing fundamentalist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15872122.post-1140043916484980912006-02-15T17:51:00.000-05:002006-02-15T17:51:00.000-05:00Wow, great article. I am constantly amazed at the...Wow, great article. I am constantly amazed at the level of dis-trust, obsession, and fault that people like this have of Freemasonry. It strikes me as if the Morgan affair had happened recently, and this vitriolic sentiment is something new and fresh. But again, you are so right in that it comes from this evangelical conservatism, specifically from the bible belts, and stand out like a extra digit on a prom queens hand. <BR/><BR/>Seriously, find a hobby. The tracts of the bible that they quote to say why Freemasons are evil amazes me. With that same zeal and fervor, I can see how woman were brutally burned at the stake for being witches. This is borderline hate speak, and could probably be prosecutable as such. Like a wound, this sort of thing has festered for years because the typical Masonic line is "don't say anything back to them". Honestly, I feel like we need to rebut these lies.<BR/><BR/>The hardest part is trying to argue with someone who only sees their way, and then backs it up with their faith. Reason flies out the window. Even in this piece that you present here, if this guy is really a minister, God help his parishioners. leaving propaganda while trespassing? <BR/><BR/>Wow. Again, nicely done.Greg Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17688459525360750872noreply@blogger.com
