We are not told we are better than non-Masons.
Albert Pike was not the founder of the Ku Klux Klan.
Prince Hall Lodges are not "black only". With a few exceptions, PHA Masons are allowed to visit AF&AM and F&AM Lodges. I'm friends with the Grand Master of the PHA here in the NW. Black men are also allowed to join my Lodge. And being in the Scottish Rite doesn't entitle you special priviledge to visit the PHA Lodges. You obviously know nothing of how Freemasonry operates.

yes, please, disregard true personal experience for the You Tube Express! You do know that EVERYTHING on the you tube is true. And don't forget to buy the books that these folks are selling. They gotta eat too.
I do hope that one day, you are able to take off your Bible blinders long enough to actually understand what Freemasonry is. Believe me when I say YOU DON'T KNOW DICK.

The only thing omitted was common sense by using the known prevaricator, Jim Shaw, as a reference. It seems it is okay for good Christians like Shaw to tell other good Christians lies so they can further spread them in an effort to get others to follow the righteous path you happen to be on.
Say 'hi' to Jeff when you get to Heaven.
The Scottish Rite confers a number of honors upon members who have contributed extraordinary service to the Rite, to Masonry in general, and to the world at large. The first of these is the Rank and Decoration of a Knight Commander of the Court of Honour (KCCH), which may be conferred after a minimum of 46 months of membership (usually much longer) and is strictly limited in numbers. A KCCH may, after 46 months at that rank (but usually longer), receive the 33rd degree, Inspector General Honorary. This award is even more limited in numbers than the KCCH.

He was not really lying about being a 33 degree Mason...
It seems he was presumptuous in saying he was a 33rd degree...
...had he waited another month or so it would have been official.
How do you meow I am not just F'ing with you?
Originally posted by AugustusMasonicus
Did he get the 33rd? No. Then he is a liar.
He also lied about being an officer in his lodge and the Master of his lodge. Like I said, a habitual and known liar.

Funny then that such a known liar would rise to such ranks as KCCH in such a moral and honest fraternity such as Freemasonry.
From what I have gathered he is a more prominent and decorated member of the Masonic order than you.
Why would one listen to a seeming grunt over a Knight Commander of the Court of Honour in Mr. Shaw?
Listen to whoever you want. I like the fact that you choose a known liar as your source, it makes it even more obvious where you are coming from.

So I have just scanned the last few pages of this thread and it appears to be believers in organized religion vs. Freemasons from different religions? If so, I'll have to side with the Masons on this one. Better crafted arguments and FAR less vitriol and hatred it seems.
THE RELIGION OF FREEMASONRY
Is Freemasonry a religion or not? The building in which the Masons meet is called a “temple,” where they offer prayers to God, whom they call “The Architect of the Universe.” Over the head of the “Worshipful Master” hangs a big letter “G” which signifies deity. On their “sacred altar” is placed a Bible, or a Koran, or the Vedas, or another holy book, depending on the country in which the lodge is functioning. A man cannot join the lodge unless he swears that he believes in a Supreme Being. In the third degree the Mason is taught that his soul is immortal, and that if he is found worthy enough while on earth, his good works will earn him a place in “the celestial lodge above.”
Traditional Masonic authorities (those who are Masons themselves) claim that Freemasonry is a religion. For example, Albert G. Mackey in his Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, writes, “The religion of Freemasonry is not sectarian.
THE RELIGION OF FREEMASONRY
Satan's most effective method of seducing men and women to yield to his control over them is via a religious system. Link
"Every major religion in the world has been manufactured or infiltrated by the Illuminati to enslave and brainwash society. In essence, religion was the first form of mind control. The indoctrination of the masses by a "Trojan Horse" false religion has allowed the Illuminati to take control and work in secret for many, many years." Link
"Today the religions of the world remain a major tool of the Illuminati agenda. Link
