Shhh.... Don't tell Jack, but King James may have been a Mason himself...

One area of the life of King James that for many years remained clouded in controversy was allegations that James was homosexual. As James did father several children by Anne of Denmark, it is actually more accurate to say that he was allegedly a bi-sexual. While his close relationships with a number of men were noted, earlier historians questioned their sexual nature, however, few modern historians cast any doubt on the King's bisexuality and the fact that his sexuality and choice of male partners both as King of Scotland then later in London as King of England were the subject of gossip from the city taverns to the Privy Council. His relationship as a teenager with fellow teenager Esmé Stuart, Earl of Lennox was criticized by Scottish Church leaders, who were part of a conspiracy to keep the young King and the young French courtier apart, as the relationship was improper to say the least. Lennox, facing threats of death, was forced to leave Scotland.
In the 1580s, King James openly kissed Francis Stewart Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell. Contemporary sources clearly hinted their relationship was a sexual one. When James inherited the English throne from Queen Elizabeth I in 1603, it was openly joked of the new English monarch in London that “Elizabeth was King: now James is Queen!” If there is still any doubt, it should be noted that George Villiers, also held an intimate relationship with King James, about which King James himself was quite open. King James called Villiers his “wife” and called himself Villiers' “husband”! King James died in 1625 of gout and senility. He is buried in the Henry VII chapel in Westminster Abbey, with one of his favorite male suitors on his right, and another on his left.

Mostly I took exception to their idea that Paganism is satantic. It might be "antichrist" in the literal sense (but then so is Judaism right?), but its definitely not satanism.
And I would agree with you. But the author of these comics is a fundamentalist Christian who thinks that EVERYTHING is evil.

Man, double shhh, Jack would be quite upset to know that, at the very least, King James was most likely bi-sexual.

I don't know how to express my feelings about this comic...
first it was very entertaining - S&F for sharing it!
Without getting into my own beliefs..
I'm wondering WHY it always has to be Satanic or Christian, why never a third option...

i came across a short comic regarding baphomet and teachings of freemasonry.
The Chick tract falsely claims that Baphomet is a demon god worshiped by Freemasons. The fact of the matter is, Baphomet is never mentioned in Freemasonry.
One of the charges that the Catholic Church brought against the Knights Templar was that they worshiped a head or idol that called Baphomet. The charges were untrue, and most historians believe "Baphomet" was a corruption of "Mahomet", the French rendering of Muhammed. Thus, the Catholic Church seemed to be accusing the Templars of converting to Islam, thus cavorting with the enemy.

Sometimes a Classical Latin word appears in a Romance language alongside the equivalent Vulgar Latin word: classical caput, "head", and vulgar testa (originally "pot") in Italian, French and Catalan.
In Romanian cap means 'head' in the anatomical sense, but ţeastă means skull or carapace,[2] while ţest means "pot" or "lid".[3] Southern Italian dialects preserve capo as the normal word for "head".
Spanish and Portuguese have cabeza/cabeça, derived from *capetia, a modified form of caput, but in Portuguese testa is the word for "forehead".

The Gnostic Apocalypse of Adam, which may date to the 1st or 2nd century, refers to a legend in which Solomon sends out an army of demons to seek a virgin who had fled from him, perhaps the earliest surviving mention of the later common tale that Solomon controlled demons and made them his slaves. This tradition of Solomon's control over demons appears fully elaborated in the early pseudographical work called the Testament of Solomon with its elaborate and grotesque demonology.[20]

All from the goat, goat means head, from word like CAPRA=GOAT.
en.wiktionary.org...
Capricorn is literal for 'horned goat' as in a male goat (which the proper term is 'caper'). A 'capra' is a she-goat and the root word is 'capr-' not 'cap-' which means to 'take or hold'. 'Capit' is the root word of 'caput' (the Proto Indo European word is 'kauput') and means head. Get a copy of Cassell's Latin Dictionary before you screw up further.

Hedgehogs are known for their spiky, spiny coats. The Italian capriccio is a combination of capo, "head" and riccio, "hedgehog", and its original meaning was "hedgehog head", a description of someone so frightened or astonished that the hair on his, or her, head "stood on end".
dictionary.reference.com...
Origin:
Capricious comes, via French, from Italian capriccio, a shivering, a shudder, finally (influenced by Italian capra, goat) a whim, from capo, head (from Latin caput) + riccio, hedgehog (from Latin ericius). The basic idea is that of a head with hair standing on end, like the spines of a hedgehog.

Sorry, I must have gotten confused when you made the claim that Freemasons might worship a goat head. I don't know if they do or do not, just following logic here.
Now as far as King Solomon being possessed by and/or in control of demons...you got me there. Sounds like a fantastic story for sure.

Solomon in the Kabbalah
Early adherents of the Kabbalah portray Solomon as having sailed through the air on a throne of light placed on an eagle, which brought him near the heavenly gates as well as to the dark mountains behind which the fallen angels Uzza and Azzael were chained; the eagle would rest on the chains, and Solomon, using the magic ring, would compel the two angels to reveal every mystery he desired to know. Solomon is also portrayed as forcing demons to take Solomon's friends, including Hiram, on day return trips to hell.

I will not hearken to you, except you worship my gods." So I departed from her. But after a little, she sent me five locusts by the hand of a messenger, saying, "Take these five locusts and crush them in the name of the god Moloch, and I will be your wife." And I did so. And forthwith my glory departed from me, and I forgot my wisdom, and became weak and foolish in my mind; and the heathen woman compelled me to build temples to the false gods, to Baal, and Remphan, and Moloch; and my spirit was darkened within me, and I became a byword among men and demons.
I didn't know the Knights Templar was so bad. To be honest I don't really know that much about them other than the stories I have heard, read and seen in the movies. Maybe they were very nasty people and it is good to distance yourself from them but my first guess would be that this is not true.
But they do pose as templars, we got pictures, and the malta cross incorporated into masonry.
I already stated that I was not. And again I am just following logic here.
I have a feeling you are a mason.
So you're telling me you believe in demons? Would that make you a good God fearing Christian then? When it comes to these old stories, and Wikipedia, I take them with a grain of salt.
What story it's how it came to be, Solomon stepped away from god in the end.
