Perhaps he or she ought to post some material on here.

Often such things are written (and cited) in an effort by fundamentalist Christians to keep impressionable young Christian men out of Freemasonry. I
know I have seen stuff on why that happens elsewhere in ATS and in the real world.
No Freemason will ever tell you that Freemasons are Satanists because it's not true, and nobody who is not a Freemason can know that and believe it
for themselves. It's a bit of a Catch 22 for you.
I suggest you make up your own mind reading about it (the arguments pro and con) rather than believing your friend because he or she is your friend. I
wonder how they reached that conclusion.
Go on, show some analysis. Write five or six lines....
