Degrees don't equal rank or authority. The two rites are just extensions of the Master Mason degree, not higher. He does have an impressive list of degrees (in reality he could have posted just the main body, but decided to break it out).

90 degrees? I know of some (shall we say) very metaphysical brothers that have published. Not just Albert Pike either. They are STILL only 33 degree.
I cannot and will not sit in lodge with them.

The Scottish Rite of Masonry has 33 degrees, with the 33rd of course being the highest. The Egyptian Rite of Mitzraim had 90 degrees, and the Oriental Rite of Memphis had 97 degrees. The guy who posted that stuff about "90 degrees" above seems to have confused the Scottish Rite with the Rite of Mitzraim.
I cannot and will not sit in lodge with them.
So if a brother of the Islamic faith visited your Lodge, you would leave?

I guess my main problem with the masons is Albert Pike because he says to embrace Lucifer the Lightbearer...

I've heard (read) of the Albert Pike/Lucifer connection before but when I brought it up to masons here on ATS they said it was up to Pike who he chose to worship or follow.
Now we're saying that Lucifer doesn't mean, or have, satanic overtones?
Well, I'm sorry but it does and I believe that Pike knew this when he made his statement
