Don't take the Bible and "God's words" so literally , it's a work of philosophy with amny points of view and on many occasions the church has used interpretation as a tool.Up until a few centuries ago anyone who said that the Earth was not the centre of the universe was burned alive , not to mention all the "witches" who were burned and tortured.
The Masons are not evil , but when you have their authority (I mean the most important members) I think people fear your power. And you could look at it from another perspective , before christianity was adopted as a general religion christians were wieved as we see satanists today.
Personally I would join the masons if I could.Anyway the ideea is to keep an open mind and to accept that the world is not black or white but many , many shades of grey.
There is no black like the black and it is your black.
There is no white like the white and it is your white.
Maybe the sarcasm meter here is broken, cause it seems I'm getting no register here.
If that paradigm works for you, then mahagique it up. I try to stay flexible with the most inflexible, and stating flexibility is the most inflexible at all. Follow?
