Hallelujah, Bless God, and don't let the door bruise the area on which you sit (and where you also store your brains) on the way out.

I see just what kind of hypocrites im dealing with now.


I guess you'll just have to find hypocrites more like yourself. Happy hunting.

Be content in your self deception thats all you really have.


To quote Bob Dylan "goodbye is too good a word so I'll just say fare thee well..." and I assure you, you will not be missed. But then, my guess is that you very seldom are missed by anybody you've had much contact with, so you probably already know that...

I found this on http://www.freemason.com

TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

Is Freemasonry a religion?

No. Neither is Freemasonry a religion, nor does it require a religious affiliation. However, Masons worship in congregations of their choice. Some are ordained priests, ministers, or rabbis; many serve in lay capacities; and, others have no affiliation. With origins in post-Reformation England, Freemasonry's allegories and rituals are rooted in Judo-Christian tradition. They exemplify mankind's universal experience and inculcate and admired moral and ethical value system. With respect to religion, Freemasonry simply teaches the "Fatherhood of God" and the "Brotherhood of Man."

Is Freemasonry a "secret" society?

No. Freemasonry is a fraternity of men who are proud to be known as Masons, Since our inception, the world has known of speculative Freemasonry and its work. Freemasonry does, however, have some secrets, all extending from historic tradition. Our modes of recognition, opening and closing ceremonies, and rituals for conferring the Degrees of Masonry are our only secrets. Thousands of works discussing Masonic history, traditions, craft, and proceedings are widely available to the public.

To fight to maintain freedom is not an ultimate waste of time. When our political leaders tell us what they are doing and we just let them, then we deserve the consequences that our apathy brings us. I don't chase conspiracy theories nor do I dream them up. Read the quotes I posted again and again and again then go read the two founding documents of this country. I prefer to stick with the two founding documents put together by some of the bravest men in history who desired freedom for all. Somehow I think God desires freedom for His people also. But his people (see Laodicea) are lazy and lukewarm and prefer to just "let be what will be" but when the fallout of that philosophy comes after them, they will look back and say "Why didn't I do something?" No doubt, Mercy, you would have thought that men like Sam Adams, Ben Franklin, George Washington, etc. were whacky too even though you owe your freedom to them.


You assume entirely too much Michael. First, I do not nor have I ever considered myself to be apathetic. Secondly, I am hardly lazy or lukewarm. Third, I am doing something to help further the Gospel message. The question I posed to Daniel, I will pose it to you as well; which is more important writing long posts that demonize the US government or spreading the Gospel message?

You know, to be honest if the government is as corrupt as you believe, I wouldn't be all that surprised. However, I WILL NEVER spend my days fighting to prove something that is of no Kingdom value. Whose soul is going to be saved from hell by my convincing them that a vast conspriacy exsists? Very few in my eyes, very few Michael.

And no I do not consider the afore mentioned men whacky, that is simply your assumption again Michael.

Anyway, we could go around and around. And likely you would still consider me full of apathy, lazy, and lukewarm and I would still consider you a bit whacky and over the edge concerning this matter.
