Anhinga,
Just leave them be.
You have already "won" your argument.
Anytime one must resort to personal attacks in any sort of debate, it's a sure sign that they have no ground to stand on.
Just take your leave of the thread buddy.
You have easily outwitted these chaps...

What sickens me the most about *them* is the fact that they steal symbolism from legit cultures that pre-date their little 'circle jerk' club by thousands of years.
and the ONLY thing that can come from further discussions is warnings you don't need.

I wasn't so much referring to you as I was lightindarkness when I made reference to the personal attacks.
...
While I personally think the video in the OP is silly at best, it couldn't possibly harm the way some view Masons as much as the way lightindarkness acts.

I fail to see how anyone can win an intelligent arguement by rehashing already addressed and quite thoroughly disproved incidents that have nothing to do with recognized Masonry-P2 Lodge for example.
…
Furthermore, I have yet to see anyone prove any type of non-speculative linkage between Freemasonry and The Illuminati. Would you care to try?

Personal attacks in any sort of debate is a sure sign of ignorance and someone defending a position that they either A) cannot morally or righteously defend or B) know absolutely NOTHING about.
Any FBI investigation of Freemasons is a farce when you consider the relationship that exists between Freemasonry, the Rockefeller family, and the FBI.
This is one of the greatest “wolf guarding the hen house” stories there ever was.
They’ve become rich by stealing the wealth of the masses. We’ve found a way to stop the funding they receive from America’s debt and so our first step is to hit these elite “banksters” in the pocketbook.

Rockefeller isn't connected? Really? I beg to differ:
"Under the head of Discipline is given a catalog of 15 classes of un-Masonic acts, of which this is one. It is so subversive of the groundwork of Masonry, in which obedience is most strongly inculcated, that the Mason who disobey subjects himself to severe penalties."
—Morris' Dictionary of Freemasonry
“The powers and privileges of' the Master of a lodge are by no means limited in extent."—Chase Digest of Masonic Law

And I got plenty more where these came from,
The IJC declared: “After complete research concerning this organization, based on written accounts from many sources, we have determined that”[5]:
1. Freemasonry is a clandestine organization, which conceals or reveals its system, depending on the circumstances. Its actual principles are hidden from members, except for chosen members of its higher degrees.
3. The organization attracts members on the basis of providing personal benefits. It traps men into being politically active, and its aims are unjust.
4. New members participate in ceremonies of different names and symbols, and are frightened from disobeying its regulations and orders.
5. Members are free to practice their religion, but only members who are
atheists are promoted to its higher degrees, based on how much they are willing to serve its dangerous principles and plans.
7. It is a Jewish Organization in its roots. Its secret higher international administrative board are Jews and it promotes Zionist activities.
9. It tries to recruit influential financial, political, social, or scientific people to utilize them. It does not consider applicants it cannot utilize. It recruits kings, prime ministers, high government officials and similar individuals.
10. It has branches under different names as a camouflage, so people cannot trace its activities, especially if the name of “Freemasonry” has opposition. These hidden branches are known as Lions, Rotary and others. They have wicked principles that completely contradict the rules of Islam.
Although members of various faiths cite objections, certain Christian denominations have had high profile negative attitudes to Masonry, banning or discouraging their members from being Freemasons.
...when Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Benedict XVI), as the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, issued Quaesitum est, which states: "...the Church’s negative judgment in regard to Masonic assoc. remains unchanged since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church and therefore membership in them remains forbidden. The faithful who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion."
