Thats right, when i doubt i refer to God and what he said. Problem with it? Tough sh*t. I'll trust him over you any day. You didn't do anything for me.

Jim Shaw? Really? The guy is a proven liar and hoaxer. The list of 33rds is published each year and is in the public domain, see if you can spot his name anywhere on it.

I am a Christian and have also been a part of a masonic lodge.
One of the only requirements for joining is a belief in divine creator.
also,
Politics and Religion and not allowed to be discussed in the lodge.
If you really get deep into the rabbit hole you will see that Christianity arose from Egypt. And that the Egyptians inherited the Sphinx (didn't build it)

Sacrifice to who?
Did you drink a little toomuch coffee today?
What exactly is it youre talking about?
Etymology
Main article: Azazel
The verb "to scapegoat" (noun form "scapegoating") is a modern intransitive or transitive coinage from the older transitive verb-noun construction "to make (someone) a scapegoat."
Scapegoat (i.e. "escape-goat") derives from the common English translation of the Hebrew term azazel (Hebrew: עזאזל) which occurs in Leviticus 16:8 after the prefix la- (Hebrew לַ "for"). The lexicographer Gesenius[2] and Brown–Driver–Briggs Hebrew Lexicon[3] give la-azazel (Hebrew: עזאזל) as a reduplicative intensive of the stem azel "remove", hence la-azazel, "for entire removal". This reading is supported by the Jewish Greek Bible translation as "the sender away (of sins)." Later Jewish sources in the Talmud (Yoma 6:4,67b)give the etymology of azazel as a compound of "az", strong or rough, and "el", mighty, that the goat was sent from the most rugged or strongest of mountains.[4]
. . .
The scapegoat was a goat that was designated (Hebrew לַעֲזָאזֵֽל ) la-aza'zeyl; either "for absolute removal" (Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon) or possibly "for Azazel" (some modern versions taking the term as a name) and outcast in the desert as part of the ceremonies of the Day of Atonement, that began during the Exodus with the original Tabernacle and continued through the times of the temples in Jerusalem.

Who can deny that at one point these beings were seen as thee supreme deity and worshiped by ancient civilizations?. After all your religious stand point is universal right?
There is one God.
Christianity:
"Hear, oh Israel, the lord thy God is one." (Old testament)
"...indeed God is one" (New testament)
Judaism:
"Hear, oh Israel, the Lord thy God is one." (Torah)
Islam:
There is only one God, and Muhammed is his prophet. (Qu'ran)
Hindu:
"There is only one God, not a second; not at all, not at all, not in the least bit." (Brahma Sutra)
Some 'polytheistic' religions like Hindu and Christianity have some/many different manifestations of the one God, but still, there is only one. No more, no less.
Call that god Thoth, Ganesh, Baal, Moloch, Allah, Yahweh, it doesn't matter. It's the same god.
Call a horse a rabbit and it would still be a horse.
But to believe there are lesser gods like satan imply more than one, which is simply incompatible with a monotheistic belief.

You can accuse him of being a liar that is all good and fine.
However he was in fact a 32 degree mason who received the honorary title Knight Commander of the Court of Honor for his services and dedications to Masonry.
You attempt to make it sound as if he was never a Mason through your usual tactics of leaving out key bits of information.
