CLewey44, in fact, you are wrong about me. I don’t believe Masonry practices child abuse anywhere, so I said I was upset at Bill when he made that accusation to Masonry even though I am not a Mason.
I am not a baptized Christian that might be considered incompatible with Freemasonry. While I was searching for information to dismiss certain allegations against Masonry, I found that Caidaism religion was founded based on Masonic teachings just like other religions. The founders of Caodaism were Freemasons from the Grand Lodge of the Philippine. They were recruited from French during the late 1800s. The interesting part is that the founders were Roman Catholic before Caodaism was formed. Most Vietnamese are R.C. Anyhow, Caodai has more than 2M members and is growing. I consider myself a Taoism but not traditional Taoism. A devoted Taoism would suggest that I have not practiced Taoism correctly, and I would agree.
If you think Freemasonry is not right for me then you entitled to your opinion. We differ on that.
