most of our founding fathers were masons. No. Most weren't. Ok, not sure how many because I don’t really think about it much. But there were some. Doesn’t that piss you off?

Do you have to know how to cut stone with a chisel, lay rock, brick, block, pour concrete? Tile, etc? To be a Mason?
?? Nope. It never was about that.

Doing works in the name of the Grand Architect of the Universe <> doing works in the name of Jesus Christ.

There is only one God the father hawkeye Thanks, but I'm no god, and certainly not the only one. PS A comma would have helped, LOL. But I actually read it as if there was a comma, and know what you meant to say. Glad you feel that way, but the religion behind Freemasonry does not. It teaches that God the Father and Lucifer are on equal footing.

All shriners are Masons but not all Masons are Shriners. It amazes me when people believe goofy shìt and rumors because they have a fear of what they don't know. If you really knew what our "secrets" are, you'd laugh. It's just something to differentiate ourselves with. And Mark, the rest of my rant wasn't focused at you. Just a generalization.

Well, Grandad was a Mason and he’d tell you pretty quick that Catholicism was a false religion (“in the pope we hope” was his line😂).
So I suppose it was mutual…..
