What planet are you from? The vast majority of Freemasons in the USA are Protestant.

That's no different from what my own Church teaches. Yes, we all work together, but it is my responsibility to see that I work on myself.

There might be people around who are so brilliant as to be perfect autodidacts, maintaining superhuman ability through entirely their own means, without support or aid from any organization. I am not such a person. I am merely human. Thus, like I went to college to learn biology, like I went to...

I DID watch the video. It's a load of crap. I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A PROTESTANT. I stated that I had attended Methodist and Baptist services. I am very much aware of what protestantism is, I also know what a conspiracy lunatic is. I have read a LOT of history, and NOT from Roman Catholic...

I used to say the "anything but" line, but I realized that, as a Christian, myself, that treads dangerously close to the "no true Scotsman" fallacy. Thus, I admit that such people might be Christian, but they are not practiced, not taking it very seriously, or have been badly misled in it.

In a broader context, it is a speculative religious work of Jewish mysticism. It is no more inherently Masonic than would be the writings of Soren Kierkegaard or St. Hildegard of Bingen. However, like those two bodies of work, it may prove valuable to an individual.

So, it's okay to post MORE anti-Christian propaganda. How does "News Bot", which I THOUGHT wasn't some kind of partisan wonk, propose to expel all Christians from Masonry, since we just can't live up to Masonic ideals? I realize that some people had bad experiences with Christians. It is most...

Well, what did Masonry do in its great days? I am not talking about the 1950s, by the way. Any population adjustment of Masonic membership numbers shows that the 1950s was a false "growth" that never made up for losses starting in the 1930s. I know the standard refrain will be "We were more...

As my Church (non-Arminian--Arminianism is Western) teaches, God has the power to select and decide all things. He freely chooses (for only God is free) to grant us a pale reflective measure of freedom to respond to His call. If we refuse to respond, it is upon us. We cannot choose to respond on...

Argument from necessity, the logical fallacy that a conclusion is valid because it must be as it is and can be no other way.

Cop out response, can be used to rationalize any evil.

The decision maker always holds responsibility in direct proportion over his control of the decision. It is that simple.

What an evil parody of God.

Ever notice how those who claim that Mormon ceremonies are cribbed from Masonic ritual likely lacks direct experience with one, the other, or both?

Of course, this means that, if God chooses not to pick you, it's still 100% God's choice and 100% God's responsibility, since we have no input into the matter. Those God rejects are rejected through no fault of their own, since those God chooses are chosen through no virtue of their own. If the...

I am QUITE aware of standard Protestant beliefs. I have attended Methodist and Baptist congregations at various times in my life. To presume from my name that I must be Catholic? What is the origin of this bigotry on your part? I have read a great deal of English history, and it does not support...

Why? It's argument from necessity. There are no limits upon God. If God is limited, then God is unworthy of being God. If God is limited, then God is just another creature--a limited "God" is not God at all.

No, that document does not say that the Pope is trying to take over the world. Sorry. Do you ever get outdoors?
