Wow you took the thoughts right out of my head.
I posted a similiar opinion in another thread, My father is a Mason and it's hard not to take offense when people say things like "heebie geebies"
or other rude mindless comments.
People are too often looking at the Masons as a whole and not looking at the select individuals who are the real problem typically the ones who are in
politics.
There are bad people who happen to be Masons, but it doesn't mean everyone who is a Masons is a bad person.
Also, people lack the depth to see beyond the text of traditions and rituals and take them literally.
Generalizing and judging an entire group of people based of a select group of people inside that group is pretty much being ignorant.
I laugh when people say Masons are satanists who want to change and kill Americans and so on.
My father is a very religious man and a Vietnam Vet who would fight more for others rights then his own, and he would never even think to hurt a
child.
If my father was ever exposed to any of these conspiracies being true in his 26 years of being a Mason he would do anything in his power to end it.
This goes for all the other Masons and Shriners who I know as well.
