Don't worry too much about it. I think I read yesterday that God was actually evil and we were all being deceived.
How do you even counter that?
If a Devout Christian who might be a tad overzealous (I replaced thumper with that description just for Outcast Searcher) want to believe the Taxil hoax then he can be the one to look foolish when quoting it. Just as it's perfectly acceptable to claim most lawyers and judges are masons, and then provide nothing to back that up. this is ATS my good man! Where foolishness abounds!
But do be careful, I also read that California was going to fall off into the Ocean soon. (Wear a life jacket)

So is Lucifer (man become god through hidden knowledge) Freemason's god? I still say yes, and I don't see how a master mason could disagree. Most people just automatically link Satan and Lucifer.
i didn't say anything about them voluntarily "leaving", i said they were removed, there is a difference but as ususal, you misdirect and generalize.
If a Mason leaves
guess that would depend on what is being welded now wouldn't it?
And just to pry I want to know what kind of metal your expert welder buddies are melting together

There is no such thing as a god of Freemasonry
Masonry is an adjunct to a Mason's own faith be he Christian, Jew, Muslim, Sikh, etc.
Anyone who claims differently is either a fool or has an agenda or both.

i'm not arguing this point for the simple fact that i still ice skate, ride a bicycle, craft and employ a variety of "skills" that i do not practice regularly but can call upon at any given moment to produce.
I also have many, many skills that are rusty, and I can bring them out and perform tasks as needed, but it would take weeks or months to actually regain the skill I once had in those areas.
i didn't, i presumed they were more separatist in said activites.
Why would you assume Masonry would be mutually exclusive with other mentoring duties?

Should you chose to read a bit into that which you think you already know, I give you this link.
If not, no worries. We are all very lucky in that there is only 1 Judge Supreme, and he will be the one who determines where our eternal soul's will end up. Man can only speculate.edit on 23-5-2012 by network dude because: bad spelr

So many lies...seeing you guys respond is so obvious now. It's like you guys are the front line of a football team, trying to keep outsiders from getting past.
"I believe in a Supreme Being, Who is One, an infinite intelligence, infinitely wise, infinitely beneficent, infinitely merciful, perfectly just and good, the God whom Freemasonry has always revered and worshipped,"
There is SO a god of freemasonry.
The above is the masonic confession of faith that all members sign and swear to.
