Masonic CHIP program. Evil to the core, or just a free program to help those who wish to be helped? You decide. Next week, we will be discussing Mickey Mouse. Menacing killer thug mouse, or cartoon character. you decide.

Right, because anywhere and everywhere outside of a lodge is full of error and pollution.

Last time I checked, Freemasonry was about teaching the secrets of stone-cutting and stone-setting, not taking DNA samples. The condescending attitude that Freemasonry instill into its members is appalling.

It must make you feel good, to tell someone else that they are wrong.

You really haven't been reading this thread, have you? It's been pointed out repeatedly over too many pages that the "ChIP" in MasoniChIP refers to Child Identification Program, not the RFID chip that conspiracy theorists would like you to believe.

Last time I checked, NO scientific technique has ever been invented "inside the lodge"

That would be operative Masonry. But then again, you knew that. Speculative Masonry is about helping men be of greater use to themselves, their families and society at large. MasoniChIP is but one example of Masons helping out in some small way.
The only condescension I detect in this thread emanates from your posts. You're very equal-opportunity that way.

No. Just you. There's a certain satisfaction in addressing one who is so resolutely and consistently wrong.

We try to be of utility to society as a whole (even you).

Charity is important, of course. But we can do plenty of good taking care of our own members and their families without putting up with this kind of petty sniping.
Bravo driley ! The more we do, the more we are attacked. Think how grand the fraternity could be if resources weren't wasted on ingrates ! But i must add that by no means should charity be left out as it violates what we stand for. But hey, some lodges really need help for themselves to survive ! Not every lodge has surplus funds, many scrape by.

You know, it is the sort of bovine fecal matter spread by the original poster that has brought me to reconsider some of the fundamentals of American-style Freemasonry. We have spent far too much time and far too many resources trying to do good for those who are not our members.
Perhaps Freemasons should return to taking care of our own and simply withdraw our millions of dollars and millions of hours of volunteer effort from a profane world that neither appreciates our efforts nor respects our Institution.
