But is the elite of the world simply the elite for massive wealth, massive influence, and massive control over traditional political and economic social structures? ...
Or must they belong to a group?
Because I agree.. there is an oligarchy out there.. a ruling elite if you will.. but I just cannot come to say they are all in the same group. Just doesnt make sense to me..

Masonry believes you must believe in a higher god. Anything (sun, gold, stick, Christ, etc), so long as you believe in a 'higher being'.
But what's the REAL reason for this? Isn't it contrary to the Christian belief of only ONE GOD?
And for all the modern day masonic denials, Pike himself called freemasonry a religion. and he should know!
Also, how many of you 'all knowing' super intelligent masons have heard of, or reached the 33rd degree? It's not just 1, 2 and 3 degrees you know, or weren't you told?
What do you know about the ultra secretive inner workings and purposes of the elite mason caucus? I don't have all day but pls when you've done some proper research and 'enlightenment' get back to us.
Not saying you are bad or have bad intentions, nut i wish i could say the same about your 'organization.'

Now, however cleverly you've tried to camouflage it, your belief in one supreme being IS blasphemous.
Also you say Albert Pike was a christian. Ok. Well wasn't he also one of the leaders of the KKK.
And can you swear that he doesn't pronounce masonry a religion in his book? When are you guys gonna stop disregarding his texts you find inconvenient and embracing the rest of his dogma?
And like i said earlier he should know more than you since he wrote most of the guidelines and doctrines that you should follow.
He will surely forever be more relevant to that movement than you can ever dream to be, admit it or not(nothing personal, honest).

Your opinions on blasphemy are sort of irrelevant. I'm sure that you believe things that others would consider blasphemous.
Originally posted by Masonic LightWrong. They were around long before Pike. What Pike did was revise the rituals for the Scottish Rite in the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, and wrote a few interesting books about them.
Originally posted by Masonic LightWhy would you say that? You don't know Appak; perhaps he is a Grand Master, or Deputy Grand Master, or District Deputy. Pike was never any of those things.

Thanks ML!
I foresee a bit of the same "stuff" that we've had here numerous times in the past.
brinkofluv requested to "leave out the small talk" I think I'll just leave out the talk altogether. It's easy to see where this thread is going, huh? Probably be a short-lived thread.
It is of interest to note though that he/she dropped the nonsense about the 33rd Degree like the proverbial "hot rock" ...I guess it became difficult to throw in the old "you aren't one so you don't know the real secrets!" Too bad. I was ready for that.
