| I'm looking up stuff on freemasons and it's smurfing confusing. Everyone outside of the freemasons says it's a cult and anti-Catholic. Freemasons themselves say it's not a cult because they know what they're getting into and it's not anti-Catholic because "The fact: Freemasonry today is no more anti-Catholic than it is anti-vegetarian. Freemasonry is composed of men with the same fears, wants, and wishes of the general population and thus individual Masons may exhibit certain characteristics, mirroring that of the general population. Because of Papal pronouncements against Freemasonry (Masons are decried as being "Humanist" - whatever that means), those of the Catholic faith are greatly under-represented compared to the population as a whole - and as a result, views held by individual Masons would have been reflective of that biased selection. As an organization, however, Freemasonry takes no position whatsoever on any religion and in fact encourages toleration in all its members." I'm beginning to think they're full of it. But it's still really annoying. Ben's leaving this weekend... That makes me sad. |

threshershark | 11-20-03 3:21pm What I've heard is that freemasons started out okay in Washington's era- it was just a club for rich people, I think they thought that only rich landowners should have participation in the government or something. |

inanechild | 11-20-03 5:48pm I'm pretty sure the Freemasons aren't a cult, but I don't know much about them. I think it's just an organization. |
