As a Conservative Patriot, I read all the absurd posts about Freemasons and Shriner's. As suggested in other posts, I do not react in anger nor do I have stake in Freemasonry. I have lived with a 2x Past Master, 33 degree Scots Rite, Shriner and Jester for my entire life. In order to understand the Craft from both sides, I read Morals and Dogma by A. Pike. Ignorance, racism and fears runs rabid in these posts. I find it most interesting that the Catholic church and Adolph Hitler FEARED the Freemasons due the their refusal to conform. And here are ALL you Q-Tards guilty of the same.thing. The author here needs to do some homework, Freemasonry is NOT a religion! You say it twice in your article. Another writes, Shriner's are pedos hiding behind hospitals. I can only say, you are delusional. Do NOT send me A. Pikes ramblings and de-bunked writings from the 1800's, I have read it! I can only laugh at the fear people have of the unknown..

Freemasonry is NOT a religion! just as islam is NOT a religion, both of them are political system of control which disguise themselves as religion. Freemason might be all show and theater and stage behind the scenes at some of these rituals and shows but there are real people who believe this crap. Just like people believe in some demon god al-Lah or mohammed or whomever they pray to. Why did Masons continue praying to these islamic symbols while Thomas Jefferson was fighting the moslem raider of N.Africa, Americans fighting dying and doing battle with the islamic pirate states?

I am going to give you a Voat-up because you are right in part. You are right in respect that a Freemason is permitted to have his religious belief of his choosing. You are wrong, a Freemason is not allowed to promote his deity or pray to (ie. Jesus Christ, Allah, Mohammed, Budda) in the Masonic Lodge. The use of symbols, light, eye and instruments are NOT exclusive to Islamic symbols. History will show you any fight to which a Freemason will engage in is NOT religious. The Freemason fight is against the tyranny of government, big religion and dictatorship. Thus, the Coat of Arms, the Dragon/Serpent, the 3-headed Beast, Rhonbuses, the up-side down cross, and the Phallic at Thomas Jefferson's burial site. THINK outside the box and ignore the rhetoric for one minute. Freemason's do not have a church, a country or political party. Collectively speaking, members from all over the world from every ethnic and religious background making Freemasons a threat to those that fear the potential. Instead, I see an ignorant society of wanna-be Patriots taking cheap shots at a bunch of fez-wearers that support 22 children's hospitals around the world, I find YOU pathetic. Sit in your basement, stroking your keyboard, never making a single bit of difference in a single life other than your own. Go to a Masonic Lodge, go to a Shriner's Hospital, ask a Freemason anything you wish. You just might learn something! FULL Disclosure, I am NOT a Freemason, I am too lazy and selfish.
