Can joining the masons put me closer to raising the venture capital I need? From a business perspective does it make sense to join?

People don't need to be part of a group to do good, a single person can help the homeless, prevent cruelty or any other wrong they come across. A ring does not make a man, his deeds do. And I don't restrict my help to brothers, or anyone regardless of colour, race, nation or whatever.
So in answer do I "feel" good, no. I know that I am good based on my deeds every single day, there is a very big difference my friend and I sleep soundly understanding the differnce.
Just be careful, one day you might be judged..

Quote from Bunker or Bust, "
So now your going to tell me that Christian's look after only Christian's are you?"
Its sad that you are not knowledgeable of the Christian bible, yet attempt to illicit feelings of knowledge about it. You truly show your nefarious ignorance. I don't where you contrived your comment about Christians only looking out for Christians. So allow me to very briefly explain the Samaritan parable. A Samaritan, who was collectively hated by the Jews, found a beaten and robbed Jew beside the road. He took care of and paid for, the Jews recovery, knowing full well, that he would never be repaid. He did this, not by taking an oath, but by love towards his fellow man. Christians, although not perfect, will take care of, and pray for, even their enemy's. That includes, all men of all religions or non-religions. And yes, even you.
Peace.
