Since Freemasonry is a brotherhood, its quite obvious that one of the oaths you take is to protect and help another Mason at all costs, otherwise there would be no fundamental point to this "brotherhood".

With that being said, how can any Mason be believed or trusted, especially when confronted with questions about Freemasonry?
With that being said, why is this site filled with Masons who respond at every chance to anyone questioning it? If I was part of a brotherhood with completely innocent intentions, I surely wouldn't care what people are saying about it, because there is nothing evil to be revealed no matter what theories they come up with?

I, myself, am also a Christian, as well as a history teacher and a Freemason. Perhaps it is the teacher in me, but I tend to correct people when they are clearly misinformed about a topic which they think they are informed about. As a Christian yourself, I would hope you would defend your faith if it came under attack, as most Christians would, especially if someone is clearly giving misinformation relating to that which you know is fact. For example, there are many misinformed people who post "opinions" on this site, which are based on false information (regarding Freemasonry).I responded, for example, to a gentleman who posted information about what went on at a Masonic Third Degree cermony. I had just been initiated a Third Degree Mason, and told him he was wrong. Like the few people I have responded to on this site, he was not happy to be informed he was wrong.

You don't see me defending Christianity on from people who question it. I have no reason to, because my actions are innocent and their opinions are just that, opinions.

That makes no sense. How could Freemasonary be any kind of brotherhood, if you're not supposed to protect brothers at all costs?

Examine the answers given by myself on this board ( England ) and then Masonic Light ( America) you will find the answers to be the same, maybe a slightly different emphasis here and there but the core answer will be the same. Then check some of the other Masons and their answers. It is difficult to get a bunch of crooks to tell the same tale over and over and still get the same answer.

As a Mason, if someone posted the details of ANY ritual it seems to me, being one who knows what lengths people go to practice the art of deception, you should NOT tell them they are wrong.

A Mason can't be trusted when confronted by a non-member. The secrets are to be concealed and not revealed.
I don't believe that. If someone was attack your religious belief. You would became very angry, becuase you fundamental belief regarding life itself is being challenged.
